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 (1992). 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/hook.json#/lamps/59._note: Also NFadeLm 114, s114a. Driven by solenoid 14 via SetLamp.
  • games/hook.json#/_source/confidence_notes: High confidence on switches/coils. No Const sw* definitions — switches identified from _Hit/_UnHit subs, Controller.Switch() calls, PulseSw calls, and cvpmTrough/cvpmDropTarget/cvpmBallStack setup. Lamp IDs from NFadeL/NFadeLm calls in lamp update sub. Trough is 3-ball cvpmTrough with switches 13,12,11 and entry switch 10. GI Relay (sol 11) is inverted — enabled=true cuts GI, enabled=false turns GI on. Solenoids 7,10,16-21,23-24 unused/commented out. Solenoids 17-21 commented as bumpers/slings but handled by VPX physics. Flasher solenoids 25-32 map to Flash 1B-8B. Solenoids 9,12 use custom flash subs (not SetLamp). Sol 14 uses SetLamp 114 for RightVUK flasher. Sol 26 uses SetLamp 92 (Flash 2B), sol 29 uses SetLamp 95 (Flash 5B). Bumper1B/2B/3B pulse sw33/35/34 respectively AND separate Sw33/Sw34/Sw35 targets also pulse same switches — same switch numbers used for both bumpers and stand-up targets. Sw32 is skill shot kicker (cvpmBallStack). Sw47 is subway entrance. Sw48 is PowerScoop (kicker). Sw51 is left VUK. Sw36/37 are ramp switches. Sw40 is right ramp.

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.
