clarification of emulation and simulation

Pinball is a type of arcade game, in which points are scored by a player manipulating one or more steel balls on a play field inside a glass-covered cabinet called a pinball table (or "pinball machine"). To simulate most pinball games  Pinball machines (chiefly, the playfield/balls/flippers/attractions and the physics allowing them to interact) are mechanical elements which cannot be emulated in the strict sense of the word, although they can be re-implemented on a computer you need a simulator simulators such as Visual Pinball .That said, "solid state" pinball games (the majority of new designs since the mid '70s) do indeed combine the above mechanisms with a fairly conventional microprocessor-based video game (albeit with atypical input and an emulator for output devices), which can be emulated with the ROM files and an emulator such as Visual PinMAME, which in turn can integrate with the playfield simulation.
