Flasher 29 orbit side

Service diagnostic
Human review

The ROM's Solenoid Test names public 29 'L.ORBIT (EAST) FLASHER', but in the ROM's own lamp naming the orbit that carries the EAST insert is the right orbit (lamp 50 'R. ORBIT POINTS', which Krellan's chart calls 'East $ (right orbit)'), and Krellan places this flasher 'under East light (right orbit)'.

One of the two sources is wrong about which orbit the flasher lights; Krellan also says he does not know the exact placement of many flashers.

What would settle it

locate the flasher-29 socket on a real machine or in a photograph of one (Krellan's retained photo set, or an owner's inspection).

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.

Mechanisms

Logical assemblies with their actuators, sensors and observed behaviour. Click a chip to jump to the address it refers to.

Outhole and four-ball trough

mechanism.trough

Kicker

A drained ball lands on the outhole switch (35); the OUTHOLE coil (1), which Krellan calls the ball lift, moves it into a four-position opto trough (36-39, optos powered through J15). The TROUGH coil (2) feeds one ball to the shooter lane. Krellan's page says to install four balls. The ball-serve scenario shows the ROM firing 1 when 35 closes in attract (again about every 1.2 s while it stays closed, once more about 0.7 s after it opens) and 2 when a game starts with balls held on 36-39.

Auto plunger

mechanism.auto-plunger

Kicker

The shooter lane (43) holds the served ball; the AUTO PLUNGER coil (32) launches it. The ROM fires 32 on its own when a ball sits in the shooter lane outside a game (ball-serve scenario). The cabinet launch button (14, which the ROM's I/O record also names AUTO PLUNGER; Krellan: 'Launch Button (for autoplunger)') is the player's control for it.

Left ramp entrance lift

mechanism.left-ramp-entrance

Diverter

Krellan: raising the left ramp entrance reveals the Hideout (gun lock) entrance beneath it. Switch 47 reports the lowered position (Krellan: 'active when lowered'). While 47 is open the ROM drives RAMP (14) for about 1.3 s, rests about 1.0 s and repeats; it stops once 47 closes. Whether each drive toggles a latch (as the retained script models it) or the lift needs a held drive is not documented.

Hideout gun lock and hinged-playfield eject

mechanism.gun-lock

Kicker

Balls entering the Hideout under the raised left ramp stack in a three-position lock (44 is an opto; 45/46 mechanical). GUN EJECT (8) kicks a ball out from under the playfield near the left orbit: Krellan reports that the playfield area there is hinged at the rear, the kick pushes it up, and the ball is fired down at the player. The purpose of GUN TROUGH OPTO (48) is not documented; Krellan believes it is used when preparing a kickout.

Drives
8Gun Eject

Slot machine drum

mechanism.slot-machine

Reel

One motorized drum (SLOT MOTOR, 12, 12 V) shows nine rows of three identical symbols through the window: Money, Goods, Sevens, Gangsters, Bars, Power, Guns, Crazy Cash, Cherries (Krellan, in spin order). The drum does not spin three reels independently. SLOT OPTO (52) indexes it; Krellan notes the motor often stops between rows and the software rounds to the nearest row. The opto's duty cycle per row is not documented.

Drives
12Slot Motor
Senses
52Slot Opto

Slot machine saucer

mechanism.slot-saucer

Kicker

A ball shot into the slot machine rests on SLOT SAUCER (51) and is kicked out by SLOT EJECT (11), flanked by the left and right slot standups (49/50).

Drives
11Slot Eject

KING four-bank drop targets

mechanism.king-drop-targets

Drop Target Bank

Four drop targets K-I-N-G on the left (Krellan: 'left drop target bank'), reset together by KING DROP RESET (6). The ROM resets the bank when a game starts, and during play when all four targets read down (public 1): the drop-target run records four pulses of 6 while they stay down, and none for one target alone.

PIN three-bank drop targets

mechanism.pin-drop-targets

Drop Target Bank

Three drop targets P-I-N on the right (Krellan: 'right drop target bank'), reset together by PIN DROP RESET (7). The ROM resets the bank when a game starts, and during play when all three targets read down (public 1): the drop-target run records six pulses of 7 before the ROM stops while they are still down.

Top diverter

mechanism.top-gates

Gate

TOPGATES (13) moves a diverter behind and to the left of the top lanes that blocks the left orbit (Krellan). No position switch exists. The retained script lineage toggles the gate on each pulse; the physical behaviour is not documented.

Drives
13Top Gates

CPU-driven lower flippers

mechanism.flippers

Other

Two lower flippers driven by the CPU (FLIP_SOL): the ROM reads the buttons at 5/6 (which a PinMAME host drives through the button bits 84/82), drives the flipper coils (9/10) and uses the end-of-stroke switches (33/34). Krellan: the flipper power is software-adjustable, and in the timed game the flippers weaken and finally stop when the power meter runs out.

Recreation notes

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

Coverage: partial. The complete controller contract is validated: every public switch, solenoid and lamp address, its name, its wiring colour code and connector pin, every fitted switch's contact polarity (ten by ordinary construction) and the DMD. Most playfield devices carry observed coordinates from one community table. Still open: validated spatial placement, the physical behaviour of several mechanisms, one conflict about a flasher's position, and the recreation notes that depend on those.

Why this record has no manual

Kingpin was to be Capcom's next pinball machine after Big Bang Bar when Capcom closed its pinball factory in 1996. Krellan's page puts Big Bang Bar at "10-or-so" machines and calls Kingpin "just as rare, if not more so". No printed factory manual is known: pinned PinMAME's capcom.c says it "did not find a manual for this one", and Krellan says the same. This definition replaces the manual with the machine's own firmware plus one hands-on survey:

  1. The ROM's service menu. Walked on fresh isolated state by the LibPinMAME harness (tools/harness-scenarios/capcom/kpb105-*.json). The Solenoid, Lamp and Switch Tests print each device's name, its wire colours and its connector pin. Each harness step pairs that text with the public address that changed (solenoids, lamps) or was held (switches). Every row is transcribed in evidence/excerpts/capcom.kingpin.1996/service-*.md beside a sheet of the frames, and the runs are pinned by hash in evidence/runtime/capcom/kingpin-service-diagnostics.json.
  2. The ROM's I/O name-record table. tools/capcom_kingpin_rom_records.py decodes the 199 records (123 lamps, 46 switches, 30 coils) the menu reads. The lamp and switch conversions reproduce the observed public addresses (the switch column pairing follows capcom.c's io_r); the coil byte order is taken from the Solenoid Test walk. The record's opto flag marks exactly the nine optos.
  3. Pinned PinMAME for transport: cc_sw2m/cc_m2sw, the solenoid words and legacy mirrors, the two lamp matrices, and the capInvSw11 opto mask.
  4. Krellan's page (krellan.com/pinball/kingpin). Its author checked every lamp position on a real machine in operator mode. The page also lists switches, solenoids, the slot-machine drum and several hardware notes.

The three retained community table scripts are one lineage, all marked "Table not verified yet", and are used only as leads.

Controller contract

  • Driver: kpb105, the only Kingpin driver. The operator menu shows "KING PIN" version β1.5 (Krellan: two known versions, 1.4 beta and 1.5 beta). kpv106.zip in the user's ROM library is byte-identical.

  • Switches: cabinet 1-16, playfield 17-80; the ROM's own switch numbers equal PinMAME's public addresses. Unused per the ROM: 11, 12, 40, 56, 64-80. Nine optos (17, 36-39, 44, 48, 52, 61) are normalized by PinMAME, so do not invert them again. Their supply is connector J15 on the power board. Contact polarity: the ROM's Switch Test draws the nine optos as a beam and every other switch as a lever contact closed at public 1. Its C5 Troubleshooting report lists a switch it checks when the switch sits at a level other than the one it expects at rest: held at 1 from power-up it lists 1-4, 9, 10, 14, 19-24, 32, 33, 34, 41, 42, 49, 50, 53-55, 57-60, 62 and 63, and it lists 47 (ramp down) only when it is at 0. In a game the ROM resets a drop bank when all its targets (25-28 or 29-31) read 1. With PinMAME's opto mask and capcom.c's complemented read, that makes all of those normally open, including the end-of-stroke switches 33/34 and slam switch 9, which are normally closed on some other platforms, and the masked optos normally closed. The ball holders 35, 43 and 51 are read as a ball present at 1. For ten switches, 13, 15 and 16 (optional dispenser inputs), 18, 45, 46 and the menu inputs 5-8, normally open is ordinary construction. 81-88 are PinMAME's synthetic flipper column, 89-96 are empty.

  • Wiring: the colours and pins the service menu prints come from the ROM's fixed colour tables. They are the manufacturer's standard harness code for each position, not a trace of a real harness, and this machine barely left prototype.

  • Flipper buttons: the ROM reads them at 5 (left) and 6 (right). Under PinMAME a host must press them through the flipper-column button bits, 84 (left) and 82 (right), because core_updateSw copies those bits into 5/6 every frame. A direct write to 5 or 6 lasts at most one frame. The retained table scripts write 5/6 directly.

  • Solenoids: 32 driver outputs:

    • 1-11, 13-17 and 32 are 50 V coils;
    • 12 is a 12 V motor;
    • 18-31 are 20 V flashers;
    • 9 and 10 are the CPU-driven flippers.

    PinMAME mirrors 9/10/11/12 at 45/47/33/35 for old DOF configurations. On Kingpin the 33 and 35 mirrors carry the slot eject and slot motor, not flippers. 51 is the Fast Flips game-on state.

  • Lamps: two 8x8 matrices, 1-64 (A) and 65-128 (B); 123-125 are NOT USED per the ROM. There is no GI channel: every light is a matrix lamp. That includes 35 numbered "G.I." positions (G.I. 1-36 with no 18; the matrix slot between 17 and 19 is the captive standup) and a backbox G.I. The ROM's "(2)" marks an output with two bulbs and "RED" a red bulb. Krellan describes many of them as "behind above and red": a red light immediately behind the previous one on its own output. He notes that this gives the game "the capability to turn almost the entire GI to a red color". 129/130 are the CPU and sound board diagnostic LEDs.

  • Operator menu: making switch 8 (PinMAME's "Coin Door", Krellan's "operator's Advance button") enters it. The flipper buttons then step and Start selects. The ROM also warns about a 50 V door interlock switch ("Check 50V Interlock SW."); nothing ties that switch to a public address. At factory settings a credit costs two coins.

Mechanisms

  • Trough. Outhole switch 35 and OUTHOLE coil 1 (Krellan: "ball lift"), a four-opto trough (36-39), and TROUGH coil 2 serving the shooter lane. Install four balls. The ROM fires 1 when 35 closes (again about every 1.2 s while it stays closed, once more about 0.7 s after it opens) and fires 2 when a game starts.
  • Auto plunger. Shooter lane 43 and AUTO PLUNGER coil 32; the cabinet launch button is switch 14. Outside a game the ROM launches any ball it finds in the shooter lane.
  • Left ramp entrance lift. RAMP coil 14 raises the entrance to reveal the Hideout, and switch 47 reads the lowered position. While 47 is open the ROM drives 14 for about 1.3 s, rests about 1.0 s and repeats; it stops once 47 closes. Whether the lift latches or needs a held drive is not documented.
  • Hideout gun lock. A three-ball lock under the ramp (44 opto, 45, 46) with GUN EJECT coil 8. Krellan: the playfield area near the left orbit is hinged at the rear, so the eject lifts it and the ball shoots down at the player from under the floor. The role of GUN TROUGH OPTO 48 is unknown.
  • Slot machine. One drum, turned by SLOT MOTOR 12 and indexed by SLOT OPTO 52. It shows nine rows of three identical symbols; in spin order: Money, Goods, Sevens, Gangsters, Bars, Power, Guns, Crazy Cash, Cherries. The motor often stops between rows and the software rounds to the nearest row. How the opto is timed per row is not documented. The saucer (51, SLOT EJECT 11) is flanked by standups 49/50.
  • Drop targets. KING bank 25-28 (reset 6) on the left, PIN bank 29-31 (reset 7) on the right. Both resets fire at game start.
  • Top diverter. TOPGATES 13, behind and left of the top lanes, blocks the left orbit. It has no position switch.
  • Other devices:
    • star bumpers: left 17/57, center 15/58, right 16/59;
    • slingshots: 4/41 and 5/42;
    • captive ball: switch 32;
    • spinners: 17 (right ramp) and 61 (left ramp), both optos.
  • Flippers are CPU-driven, with end-of-stroke switches 33/34 read by the ROM. Their strength is software-adjustable. In the timed "power meter" game style they weaken and stop when the meter runs out (Krellan).

Playfield layout

Coordinates come from SG1bsoN's 2021 "1920 Mod" v1.1 of the 2016 table by ICPjuggla, freneticamnesic and dark (VPUniverse file 7039), whose script runs kpb105 with the same switch, lamp and coil bindings as the retained 1.2 script. Each placement is one table object's own centre (for a wall, the centroid of its outline points), normalized over the table's 952 x 2162 playfield. The table is one unverified lineage, so every placement is observed; Krellan's 41 photographs of a real machine agree with its overall layout but were not measured.

  • Ramps. The left ramp starts in the centre by the lock entrance 44 and climbs past its spinner 61 to the top right, where its exit switch 62 sits; a wireform returns the ball across the playfield to the left inlane. The right ramp (spinner 17) climbs to the top left, where its exit switch 18 sits, and its wireform crosses the other to the right inlane.
  • Slot machine. Upper left: saucer 51 and slot eject 11, drum 12/52, the two slot standups 49/50 with their gun lamps 72/73, and the Hotel Lex flasher 28 above it.
  • Drop banks. KING (25-28) on the left and PIN (29-31) on the right, in the middle of the playfield well above the slingshots, each with its flasher (30, 31) beside it.
  • Projections and clamps. The trough switches sit on a script ball stack, so they are projected onto the trough exit kicker. The three backpanel lamps (116, 119, 120) sit on the back panel and are clamped to the rear edge.
  • Not placed: no source places gun locks 45/46 (Krellan puts gun lock 1 in the hideout; the table's lock ends at the gun eject by the left orbit); the ramp-down switch 47, gun trough opto 48, knocker 3, drop resets 6/7 and ramp lift 14 have no usable table object; flasher 22 has only a wide glow light with no flasher dome; 29 is the open conflict.

Things a table author will trip over

  • Table defects. The retained script lineage's captive-ball target pulses 49 instead of 32. It names its flasher routines misleadingly: the routine on 23 is called RightRampFlash but lights a light beside the Hotel Lex building, which fits the ROM's 23 BUILDING FLASHER, and the routine on 18 drives lights on the left ramp that its comments call right ramp flash. Go by what the routines light, not their names. It mirrors the kid flashers: Krellan puts 19 under "Sudden" by the left flipper and 24 under "Death" by the right, while the table binds its left-side object to 24. It also presses the flipper buttons by writing 5/6, which PinMAME overwrites every frame (use 84/82).
  • Flasher typing. PinMAME's flasher typing for Kingpin (18-19, 21-31) came from a VPX table. The ROM prints 20 (Big Al) as a flasher too; Krellan puts Big Al on the backglass, and the retained table does not bind 20. Krellan reports #67 and #906 flasher bulbs rather than #89.
  • Output 20 in the service test. During the ROM's Solenoid Test, public 20 pulses continuously whichever coil is selected.
  • Flasher 29. The ROM names it "L.ORBIT (EAST)", although EAST is the right-orbit insert (conflict.flasher-29-orbit-side).

What is still needed

  • Spatial placement: an independent source for the observed coordinates (a second, unrelated recreation, a measured photograph or a playfield scan), and positions for the devices listed as not placed above.
  • Mechanism behaviour: whether the ramp and top-diverter coils toggle latches or need a held drive, what GUN TROUGH OPTO does, and how the slot drum's opto is timed.
  • Flasher 29: its actual orbit side.

ROM sets

Every driver that resolves to this physical machine.

ROM set Description Year Parent Hardware
kpb105Kingpin (Beta 1.05)
The only Kingpin driver in pinned PinMAME (capgames.c: 'previously known as V1.0 or B1.06'); its operator-menu header shows 'KING PIN' and version 1.5 beta, displayed as β1.5 (program-ROM strings at 0x0b85a2 and 0x0b85ab). The user's local kpv106.zip is byte-identical to kpb105.zip. Krellan reports two known ROM versions, 1.4 beta and 1.5 beta, each with a different bug, and that both play styles (standard three-ball and the timed power-meter game) are operator settings available in either version; no other version is dumped in pinned PinMAME.

Missing data

What this game definition still needs to reach 100% and become author-ready.

  • Mechanism behavior

    Validate mechanism operation, ball paths, home positions, startup and reset behavior.

  • Recreation knowledge

    Complete the source-backed behavior and assembly notes needed to recreate the machine.

  • Physical device locations

    Establish validated playfield locations for every physical sensor, actuator and light emitter, including bulb counts and justified projections.

  • Conflicting evidence

    Obtain the evidence needed to settle the remaining disagreements about the physical machine.

  • Gun Lock 2
    Device evidence and notes

    ROM Switch Test prints 45) 'GUN LOCK 2', switch line YEL-GRN J4.5, return BLK-YEL J4.10. ROM I/O record 76 (internal number) names it 'GUN LOCK 2'. Contact polarity: the Troubleshooting report does not check it (listed neither at 0 in the baseline run nor at 1 in the held run). PinMAME does not mask this address and capcom.c's io_r complements the active-low read, so public 1 is the CPU's closed-contact reading, and the ROM's Switch Test draws the contact closed at 1 and open at 0. Normally open is the ordinary construction of a mechanical contact, which Krellan lists among the 'normal switches' as opposed to the optos; no source prints this switch's contact type. No playfield placement: the table models the three-ball gun lock as a script ball stack with no switch objects; Krellan puts gun lock 1 in the hideout under the ramp, and in the table the lock ends at the gun eject near the left orbit, so no source places gun lock 2.

No playfield placement: the table models the three-ball gun lock as a script ball stack with no switch objects; Krellan puts gun lock 1 in the hideout under the ramp, and in the table the lock ends at the gun eject near the left orbit, so no source places gun lock 3.

  • Left Ramp Down
    Device evidence and notes

    ROM Switch Test prints 47) 'RAMP, DOWN', switch line YEL-VIO J4.8, return BLK-YEL J4.10. ROM I/O record 78 (internal number) names it 'RAMP, DOWN'. Krellan: 'Left Ramp Down (active when lowered)'. The ramp-down-feedback scenario shows the ROM driving RAMP (public 14) for about 1.3 s, resting about 1.0 s and repeating while this switch is open, and stopping as soon as it closes: the ROM uses it as the lowered-position feedback of the left ramp entrance (Krellan: 'active when lowered'). Contact polarity: the ROM's C5 Troubleshooting report lists this switch when it is left at 0 and not while it rests at 1, so the ROM expects the ramp-down contact closed while the ramp rests down. The lowered ramp actuates it (Krellan: 'active when lowered'), and normally_closed describes the contact itself, open until actuated, not where the ramp happens to rest. PinMAME does not mask this address and capcom.c's io_r complements the active-low read, so public 1 is the CPU's closed-contact reading, and the ROM's Switch Test draws the contact closed at 1 and open at 0. Normally open. No playfield placement: the table raises the ramp with an invisible helper flipper parked beyond the table edge (LeftRampFlipper, x > 1) and has no object for the ramp-down switch.

  • Gun Trough Opto
    Device evidence and notes

    ROM Switch Test prints 48) 'GUN TROUGH OPTO', switch line YEL-GRY J4.9, return BLK-YEL J4.10. ROM I/O record 79 (internal number) names it 'GUN TROUGH OPTO'. Krellan is unsure of its purpose and believes it is used when preparing to kick balls out of the lock. Opto: PinMAME's capInvSw11 mask normalizes this address, the ROM's switch record carries its opto flag, the ROM's Switch Test draws it as a beam rather than a contact, and Krellan's hands-on chart sets it in italic (optos). The public state is already normalized and must not be inverted again; the ROM's Opto Test identifies connector J15 on the power board as the opto supply. Contact polarity: the ROM's Switch Test draws this switch as a beam, broken while it is held at public 1 and clear at public 0. core_setSw applies capInvSw11 to this address and capcom.c's io_r complements the switch-board read, so the CPU sees the contact open while the beam is blocked and closed while it is clear: normally closed. No playfield placement: no table object models the gun trough opto, and no source locates it.

  • Knocker
    Device evidence and notes

    ROM Solenoid Test prints S03 - KNOCKER, drive BRN-ORG J14/13.3, supply VIO 50V; selecting it fired public 3. ROM I/O record 13 (internal number) names it 'KNOCKER'. No playfield placement: the knocker has no table object and no source locates it.

  • KING Drop Target Reset
    Device evidence and notes

    ROM Solenoid Test prints S06 - KING DROP RESET, drive BRN-BLU J14/13.6, supply VIO 50V; selecting it fired public 6. ROM I/O record 10 (internal number) names it 'KING DROP RESET'. No playfield placement: the drop-target reset coil sits under the KING bank; the table has no single object for it and a centroid of the four targets would be invented.

  • PIN Drop Target Reset
    Device evidence and notes

    ROM Solenoid Test prints S07 - PIN DROP RESET, drive BRN-VIO J14/13.7, supply VIO 50V; selecting it fired public 7. ROM I/O record 9 (internal number) names it 'PIN DROP RESET'. No playfield placement: the drop-target reset coil sits under the PIN bank; the table has no single object for it and a centroid of the three targets would be invented.

  • Left Ramp Entrance
    Device evidence and notes

    ROM Solenoid Test prints S14 - RAMP, drive GRN-BLU J18/17.7, supply VIO 50V; selecting it fired public 14. ROM I/O record 26 (internal number) names it 'RAMP'. Krellan: 'Left Ramp Entrance Raise (reveals entrance to Hideout when raised)'. The ramp-down-feedback scenario shows the ROM's software loop: with switch 47 open it drives this coil for about 1.3 s, rests about 1.0 s and repeats (9 drives in 30 s), stops once 47 closes, and resumes when 47 reopens. Whether the lift is a latch that each drive toggles (as the retained script lineage models it) or needs its drive held is not documented. No playfield placement: the table raises the ramp with an invisible helper flipper parked beyond the table edge (LeftRampFlipper, x > 1).

  • Right Ramp Flasher
    Device evidence and notes

    ROM Solenoid Test prints S22 - R. RAMP FLASHER, drive VIO-BLU J21/20.6, supply RED 20V B; selecting it fired public 22. ROM I/O record 2 (internal number) names it 'R. RAMP FLASHER'. The retained script lineage names the routine it binds to 23 RightRampFlash (`SolCallback(23) = "RightRampFlash"`), but that routine lights a light beside the Hotel Lex building, which fits the ROM's 23 BUILDING FLASHER; its only object for 22 is a wide glow light near the right ramp's exit. The routine names mislead, and the objects agree with the ROM names by position. No playfield placement: the table drives only f22 from it, a light near the right ramp's exit with an 800 falloff (every other flasher light in the table has 300 or less) and no flasher dome at it, and no source locates the physical bulb.

  • Left Orbit (East) Flasher
    Device evidence and notes

    ROM Solenoid Test prints S29 - L.ORBIT (EAST) FLASHER, drive GRY-GRN J25/24.6, supply RED 20V B; selecting it fired public 29. ROM I/O record 19 (internal number) names it 'L.ORBIT (EAST) FLASHER'. Krellan: 'Flasher under East light (right orbit)'. See conflict.flasher-29-orbit-side: the ROM's own name points at the left orbit while calling it EAST, and Krellan puts it under the East light at the right orbit. No playfield placement: its orbit side is the open conflict conflict.flasher-29-orbit-side.

Evidence needed to settle conflicts

  • Flasher 29 orbit side

    locate the flasher-29 socket on a real machine or in a photograph of one (Krellan's retained photo set, or an owner's inspection).
