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.monopoly 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 monopoly, description "Monopoly (3.20)", manufacturer "Stern", catalog year "2001".
  • OPDB record G48w3-Mq1Zk (IPDB 4505) names this machine "Monopoly" (Stern, manufacture date 2001-09-01); 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 monopoly; whether every listed driver really runs on this physical machine is unverified.

Drivers this record holds

  • monoi251 (2002, Stern, clone of monopoly).
  • monop233 (2002, Stern, clone of monopoly).
  • monop251 (2002, Stern, clone of monopoly).
  • monop301 (2002, Stern, clone of monopoly).
  • monopole (2002, Stern, clone of monopoly).
  • monopolf (2002, Stern, clone of monopoly).
  • monopolg (2002, Stern, clone of monopoly).
  • monopoli (2002, Stern, clone of monopoly).
  • monopoll (2002, Stern, clone of monopoly).
  • monopoly (2001, Stern).

PinMAME source contract (candidate)

  • The pinned PinMAME source declares monopoly at src/wpc/sims/se/prelim/monopoly.c:441 with machine module de_mSES1; no platform is declared (the de_mSES1 module serves several manufacturers and this record's catalog manufacturer (Stern) is not Data East).
  • The driver source's named switch/solenoid symbols are carried as 23 candidate devices in the definition.

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.
