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 Gottlieb (1995). 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/stargate.json#/_source/confidence_notes: High confidence extraction from VPW v2.0 VBScript by mcarter78/Sixtoe/Rothbauerw/Apophis team. Platform detected as GTS3 from LoadVPM '03060000', 'GTS3.VBS', 3.10 call. ROM identified as 'stargat5' from Const cGameName. Trough is custom physical design (not cvpmTrough) using three VPX kicker objects (swTrough1, swTrough2, swTrough3) plus Drain kicker, with a manual UpdateTrough cascade timer that shifts balls between positions. Switch 34 tracks swTrough3 occupancy (ball ready) and switch 24 tracks Drain occupancy. SolRelease (sol 28) ejects from swTrough1, SolTrough (sol 29) kicks from Drain. Three VUKs: sw33 (right, kicked by sol 12 VukTopPop), sw23 (center, kicked by sol 11 BotPop), sw80 (left, kicked by sol 10 LeftPop). Glider mechanism uses two motor solenoids (sol 23 LR motor, sol 24 forward motor) driving a GliderTimer animation that sets sw21 (home position) and sw30 (right limit position) via position calculations. Pyramid mechanism (sol 16) uses LeftFlipper1 VPX object with sw102 set via delayed timer. Diverter (sol 13) uses Flipper1 VPX object and sets sw101 for position feedback. Guardian targets (sol 14 left, sol 15 right) are pivot targets that physically open/close to reveal/block sw116/sw117 standup targets. Drop targets: 3-bank left (sw17/27/37, reset sol 17), 2-bank top (sw26/36, reset sol 18), single right (sw35, reset sol 19, trip sol 20). Kicking targets sw14/15/16 use Rothbauerw KickingTarget class with animated rebound. Bumpers use PulseSw (sw10=Bumper1 bottom, sw11=Bumper2 top). Slingshots use PulseSw (sw12=left, sw13=right). Flipper solenoids from GTS3 framework constants: sLRFlipper (right), sLLFlipper (left), sURFlipper (upper right). Lamps identified from vpmMapLights AllLamps and BL_L_ lightmap arrays: L0, L5-L7, L11-L17, L21-L27, L32-L37, L41-L47, L55-L57, L65-L67, L71-L77, L81-L87, plus flasher lamps L120-L125 mapped to f0-f5 VPX light objects, and backglass lamps L90, L92, L112, L126. GI controlled by sol 31 (GIState, inverted -- Not Enabled = GI on). Backbox GI via sol 26 (SolBBGI). Rope lights via sol 22 (SolBGRopeLights). Six commented-out solenoids: 1-4 (bumpers/slingshots handled by VPX physics), 5-7 (kicking target kickbacks), 21 (not used), 25 (not used), 27 (ticket dispenser), 32 (game over relay). Wire trigger switches sw31/sw111-sw115 use Controller.Switch on/off pattern with wire animation. Ramp triggers sw90/sw100/sw110 use PulseSw. Pyramid subway switch sw91 uses PulseSw. Tournament mode switch sw5 set by RightMagnaSave key and TournamentTimer auto-set at startup. Switch sw6 (FrontDoor) set by TournamentTimer.

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.
