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.sharkt 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
sharkt, description "Shark (Taito)", manufacturer "Taito", catalog year "1982". - No OPDB record is mapped for this driver in
machines/opdb_id.csv, so the name above comes from the PinMAME catalog alone and is unverified. - The definition's driver list is exactly the clone tree PinMAME declares under
sharkt; whether every listed driver really runs on this physical machine is unverified.
Drivers this record holds
sharkt(1982, Taito).
VPX script candidates (candidate)
- 1 retained community table script(s) declare this machine's driver; their extracted switch/lamp/solenoid/GI candidates are carried as 27 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.
