That's not exactly true as we've seen it on official MAME when it comes to NeoGeo games, STV, etc.
It should be possible to bypass the portable physical device requirement in a situation where it makes the most sense.
If I look at HBMAME as a whole currently, instead of it being clone city with everything bloated into the executable, it seems like it would make the most sense if it all was presented in software list form in the situations where a parent has tons and tons of clones, so your main menu is more organized and more documentation could happen in the XML files themselves.
