Coverage: partial - machine identity plus candidate-only I/O attachments. Playfield devices, wiring, mechanisms, and behavior are evidenced only as unverified candidates.
This record was promoted from the generated catalog stub stub.pinmame.bigbat by the
catalog-wide identity pass of 2026-08-29. The promotion resolves machine identity and carries the
catalog's residual driver grouping over unchanged, the platform and device attachments below were added by the 2026-08-29/30 candidate passes and assert nothing beyond candidate provenance. Every
requirement in the definition's coverage.missing is genuinely outstanding.
Identity
- PinMAME catalog: root driver
bigbat, description "Big Bat", manufacturer "Bally Midway", catalog year "1984". - No OPDB record is mapped for this driver in
machines/opdb_id.csv, so the name above comes from the PinMAME catalog alone and is unverified. - The definition's driver list is exactly the clone tree PinMAME declares under
bigbat; whether every listed driver really runs on this physical machine is unverified.
Drivers this record holds
bigbat(1984, Bally Midway).
PinMAME source contract (candidate)
- The pinned PinMAME source declares
bigbatatsrc/wpc/bowlgames.c:201with machine moduleby35_mBY35_61S; the definition declares controller platformpinmame.by35from it.
What a curator must establish next
Full input, output, and display enumeration with semantic names; physical wiring and polarity; mechanism inventory and behavior; variant differences across the clone tree; recreation knowledge from a manual, schematic, or known-working table; runtime provenance; and a normalized spatial placement for every physical device. No manual, schematic, or runtime-harness evidence is retained for this machine yet; the candidate sections above are the only retained I/O evidence so far.
