7 ROM sets resolve to this machine. Clones share the definition unless a hardware difference is listed.

Controller platform
pinmame.wpc

PinMAME already reports logical active state. Do not invert again in the table — normally-closed is a physical fact recorded per switch, not a runtime transform.

partial - source-derived recreation knowledge requiring validation

Overview

Legacy evidence identifies this candidate as Bally (1997). The information below is preserved for recreation work but is not automatically treated as validated physical-machine fact.

Playfield devices

Switch, lamp/GI, and controlled-device candidates are in the adjacent machine definition. Source-specific implementation notes are retained below.

Custom mechanisms

  • mechanism.ringmaster-pop-up-head: Ringmaster Pop-Up Head Linear motor raises/lowers Ringmaster head. Sol 22 enables motor, Sol 39 controls direction. Callback UpdateRM moves ringmaster.z and collision walls based on position. [source: legacy.game.cv]
  • mechanism.left-loop-magnet: Left Loop Magnet [source: legacy.game.cv]
  • mechanism.ramp-lock-magnet: Ramp Lock Magnet [source: legacy.game.cv]
  • mechanism.ringmaster-magnet: Ringmaster Magnet Grabs ball at Ringmaster head; custom kick logic on release via SolRingmasterMagnet sub [source: legacy.game.cv]
  • mechanism.spin-magnet: Spin Magnet No solenoid assigned; used for wobble/shake physics on ringmaster head [source: legacy.game.cv]
  • mechanism.ramp-ball-lock-3-ball: Ramp Ball Lock (3 ball) 3-ball virtual lock on upper ramp; released by Lock Post solenoid (16) [source: legacy.game.cv]
  • mechanism.ball-trough-4-ball: Ball Trough (4 ball) [source: legacy.game.cv]
  • mechanism.popper-subway-eject: Popper (Subway Eject) [source: legacy.game.cv]
  • mechanism.backbox-prize-wheel-bell-spinner: Backbox Prize Wheel / Bell Spinner Custom physics simulation; ball launched by Backbox Kicker (sol 2) interacts with spinning disc. Disc has 5 spinner balls for collision detection. Bell at sw11. [source: legacy.game.cv]

Ball-state transitions

Ball paths, trough ordering, locks, kickouts, and causal transitions have not yet been normalized. Relevant source notes follow under Evidence notes.

Controller interactions

Controller callbacks and bindings are candidate evidence only until reconciled against PinMAME and physical documentation.

Service and setup information

Unknown; locate operator/service documentation.

Timing and tuning observations

Source timing values may describe a particular VPX implementation rather than physical hardware and require review.

Recreation guidance

Do not treat this partial definition as a complete authoring specification. Resolve every coverage requirement and conflict before promotion.

Unresolved questions

  • Is the I/O enumeration complete for every supported physical/controller variant?
  • Which inferred VPX behaviors reflect real hardware, and which are table-script conveniences?
  • Are all mechanism home states, sensors, motion constraints, and ball interactions documented?

Evidence

Every claim above traces to one of these. When they disagree: a known-working VPX script wins on controller addresses and causality, the manual wins on wiring and construction, pinned PinMAME wins on emulator routing and display layout.
