You forget MAME is not only about emulation but also preservation. Currently there are at least two loaders that could let you run them on on your Windows/Linux OS. None have bothered to offer the correct checksums or a vanilla dump to restore an original arcade cabinet. It's nice to have a correct dump from something that has been hacked to death without offering the original files.
I'm not sure if we are allowed to talk about T**** T***X Loader nor Tek*****rot. Probably not because it is plain piracy.
