Controller platform
pinmame.dataeast

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.

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 Data East (1991). 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/batman.json#/lamps/66._note: Mapped from solenoid 28.
  • games/batman.json#/lamps/67._note: Mapped from solenoid 29. Callback Flash129 drives 4 dome flasher fade sequences.
  • games/batman.json#/lamps/68._note: Mapped from solenoid 30. Also has Flasher6a, Flasher6c. Bulb filament and material swap effects.
  • games/batman.json#/lamps/69._note: Mapped from solenoid 31. Also has FlasherLight7b/c/d/e.
  • games/batman.json#/lamps/70._note: Mapped from solenoid 32. Custom Flash132 sub with museum fading. Objects commented out — uses callback only.
  • games/batman.json#/_source/confidence_notes: High confidence on switches/coils. No Const sw* definitions — switches identified from _Hit/_UnHit subs, Controller.Switch() calls, and PulseSw calls. Lamp IDs from Lampz.MassAssign() calls. Trough is 3-ball cvpmTrough with switches 11-13 and entry switch 10. Solenoid 16 (Bar Motor) handled via cvpmMech — not in SolCallback but consumed by framework. Solenoids 5, 7, 10 unused. Solenoids 15-21 commented out — handled by VPX physics (bumpers, slingshots). Flasher solenoids use SetLamp with 100+ lamp IDs for Lampz integration. GI Relay (sol 11) is inverted — enabled cuts GI circuit. Sw36/37/38 are Joker face switches (eyes and mouth) using Controller.Switch on/off (not PulseSw). Sw50/51 are bar mechanism position switches set via cvpmMech. Sw53 set by ball tracking code when ball is above right scoop.

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.
