4 ROM sets resolve to this machine. Clones share the definition unless a hardware difference is listed.

Controller platform

pinmame.stern

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 Stern (1980). 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/quicksilver.json#/_source/confidence_notes: High confidence extraction from VPW VBScript by MetaTed (with apophis, somatik, Sixtoe assistance). Platform detected as Stern pre-S11 era via LoadVPM '01560000','Stern.VBS',3.26. ROM name 'quicksic' from cGameName constant. Switches identified through multiple mechanisms: Controller.Switch() on/off calls for wire triggers and rollovers (sw17-20, sw28, sw29, sw33-37, sw39), vpmTimer.PulseSw for momentary switches (bumpers sw9-11, spinners sw4-5, slingshots sw20-21, scoring rubbers sw38), and custom STHit/DTHit class methods for standup targets (sw14-16, sw25-27, sw40) and drop targets (sw21-24, sw30-32). Trough is minimal single-ball cvpmBallStack design with bsTrough.InitSw using only sw33 as the outhole switch, with BallRelease kicker for eject (sol 10). No multi-ball trough stacking -- this is a 1980 Stern single-ball drain with bsTrough.Balls=1. Kicker/saucer at sw29 uses manual ball position tracking (KickerBall29 variable, timer-based wiggle prevention) with KickBall physics function for eject (sol 9 via bsKicker callback). Drop targets use elaborate Rothbauerw DTHit/DTAnimate class system with Controller.Switch(switchid)=1 on drop and =0 on raise. Green bank (sw21-24) reset by sol 7 (GreenDropsUp), yellow bank (sw30-32) reset by sol 8 (YellowDropsUp). Note sw20 is dual-purpose: fires from both LeftSlingShot_Slingshot event and sw20 wire trigger (Controller.Switch on/off). Similarly sw21 fires from RightSlingShot_Slingshot AND as green drop target 1. This likely reflects the actual Stern Quicksilver switch matrix where multiple playfield features share switch numbers. SolCallback(6)='SolKnocker' is commented out. SolCallback(19)='FlipperRelay' is commented out. Lamps use vpmMapLights with InsertLamps collection -- individual lamp IDs identified from VLM lightmap array names (BL_L_L01 through BL_L_L62). Five backglass flasher lamps handled via LampCallback/UpdateMultipleLamps: lamp 45 (Game Over), lamp 13 (High Score To Date), lamp 63 (Match), lamp 61 (Tilt), lamp 11 (Shoot Again) -- these drive VPX objects go, hstd, ma, tilt, sa respectively. GI is always on (UseGI=0, GI lights forced to state=1 at init). Flipper solenoids via Stern.VBS framework constants sLRFlipper and sLLFlipper (standard Stern values 16 and 18).

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.
