Yup. There are literally dozens of "XXX-in-1" PCBs (some are just pre-packaged JAMMA PCs) that are intended to make money using MAME (and yes, it's illegal). Tim S. has one called "Happy Fish 302-in-1" up and running in MAME now (it uses modified GP2X ports of MAME, FBA, and some Neo Geo emulator running on Linux).
Hence the ton-of-bricks that often ensues when people ask about hooking up a coin slot to MAME or removing MAME's on-screen UI; we obviously can't stop talented people from doing so, but at least there's *some* barrier to entry.
