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 - machine identity plus candidate-only I/O attachments. Playfield devices, wiring, mechanisms, and behavior are evidenced only as unverified candidates.

This record was promoted from the generated catalog stub stub.pinmame.harl_a40 by the catalog-wide identity pass of 2026-08-29. The promotion resolves machine identity and carries the catalog's residual driver grouping over unchanged, the platform and device attachments below were added by the 2026-08-29/30 candidate passes and assert nothing beyond candidate provenance. Every requirement in the definition's coverage.missing is genuinely outstanding.

Identity

  • PinMAME catalog: root driver harl_a40, description "Harley-Davidson (Stern, 4.00)", manufacturer "Stern", catalog year "2004".
  • OPDB record G56lO-MDXpW (IPDB 4455) names this machine "Harley Davidson" (Stern, manufacture date 1999-01-01); the resolved identity rests on the agreement of the PinMAME catalog and this reviewed mapping.
  • The definition's driver list is exactly the clone tree PinMAME declares under harl_a40; whether every listed driver really runs on this physical machine is unverified.

Drivers this record holds

  • harl_a18 (2003, Stern, clone of harl_a40).
  • harl_a30 (2004, Stern, clone of harl_a40).
  • harl_a40 (2004, Stern).
  • harl_f18 (2003, Stern, clone of harl_a40).
  • harl_f30 (2004, Stern, clone of harl_a40).
  • harl_f40 (2004, Stern, clone of harl_a40).
  • harl_g18 (2003, Stern, clone of harl_a40).
  • harl_g30 (2004, Stern, clone of harl_a40).
  • harl_g40 (2004, Stern, clone of harl_a40).
  • harl_i18 (2003, Stern, clone of harl_a40).
  • harl_i30 (2004, Stern, clone of harl_a40).
  • harl_i40 (2004, Stern, clone of harl_a40).
  • harl_l18 (2003, Stern, clone of harl_a40).
  • harl_l30 (2004, Stern, clone of harl_a40).
  • harl_l40 (2004, Stern, clone of harl_a40).

VPX script candidates (candidate)

  • 2 retained community table script(s) declare this machine's driver; their extracted switch/lamp/solenoid/GI candidates are carried as 44 candidate devices. When curator work weighs sources, a retained script outranks emulator-derived candidates for runtime semantics, but every device here is still a candidate until a known-working table is verified against this exact physical machine.

What a curator must establish next

Controller platform from the pinned PinMAME driver source; full input, output, and display enumeration with semantic names; physical wiring and polarity; mechanism inventory and behavior; variant differences across the clone tree; recreation knowledge from a manual, schematic, or known-working table; runtime provenance; and a normalized spatial placement for every physical device. No manual, schematic, or runtime-harness evidence is retained for this machine yet; the candidate sections above are the only retained I/O evidence so far.

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.
