Legacy sources disagree on label: 'Coin Button 1' versus 'Backbox Basket Score 1'.

What would settle it

pinned WPC_COMPORTS, which puts IPT_COIN1 in switch column 0 at public 1 on every WPC game, read against pinned nbaf.c, which gives this machine one backbox basket switch at public 12 plus Basket Made and Basket Hold on Fliptronic positions F5 and F7 rather than three basket sensors at 1-3; this machine's own printed switch matrix, no copy of which is currently retained, would confirm it directly.

Legacy sources disagree on label: 'ROM Started' versus 'Flasher — Upper Left / BG Left'.

What would settle it

this machine's own printed Solenoid/Flasher table, no copy of which is currently retained, or a LibPinMAME trace against a legal nbaf_31 ROM observing whether public 19 pulses like a flasher or holds for the duration of a game; pinned core.h's WPC solenoid numbering puts the standard driver range at 1-28 and the game-on state at 29-31, and wpc.c records that a Fliptronic-or-later board has no game-on relay at all, so no WPC generation places one at 19.

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.

Coverage

Partial

Real evidence exists, but authoring requirements are still missing or in conflict. Verify before shipping a table.

Completion13%

Progress is derived from the fixed author-readiness requirements. It helps rank unfinished work, but only a 100% author-ready definition passes the publication gate.

Recreation notes

Working knowledge that has no schema field yet — edition differences, tuning values, pitfalls.

Coverage
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

No custom mechanism conclusion has been validated. Manuals, schematics, PinMAME source, and gameplay evidence still need to be checked.

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.

  • games/nbaf.json#/_source/confidence_notes: Extracted directly from VPW VBS source. All switches from sw*_Hit/Controller.Switch() handlers. Coils from SolCallback assignments (active and commented). Lamps from UpdateLamps NfadeLm/NFadeL calls. Lamp descriptions are from VPX object names only — no PinMAME cross-referencing. Flashers 17-20,22,24 are solenoid-driven via FlashSol* subs. Lamps 67,68,77,78 have flasher behavior via FlashRondo. Defender mechanism (sol 37/38) and magnet (sol 8) handled via cvpmMech/cvpmMagnet, not SolCallback.

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?

Pinball memory maps

External source LGPL-3.0-only3 maps

RAM layouts published by an independent project and mirrored here at a pinned commit. They are not part of this machine’s definition: nothing below was used as evidence for the definition, and none of it counts towards coverage. Check claims against the upstream project.

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.
