The hardware does not seem to be that hard to EMU
But the real use of having it in mame in to test out the clams of it being 100% skill
save states can help alot with testing that.

Perhaps not.. but since such items are still in heavy production and in use it would likely not be a MAME target for some time.

Get the software dumped from one and someone might take a look.
It probably is 100% skill, however that doesn't mean they don't make it impossible to win.

It's not just about turning people off the game, it's down to legal reasons aswell.

Yeah, and if I put a Haswell i7 in a cabinet running VVVVVV people would think it wouldn't be hard to emulate either.
You cannot judge ease of emulation on superficial appearances or even graphics/sound quality.

Yeah, but how do you know what it actually has controlling the lights? It could be a PC with a PCI GPIO board for all you know.

Atmel AT89C55 MCU for main (MCS-51 compatible)
and Z80 on the sound board
As for the question if it's 100% skill: of course it is a gambling game, it needs to make a profit after all. Even the manual explains the winning margins, so it's not dishonest about it either.
