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

Controller platform
pinmame.wpc

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 Williams (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/congo.json#/coils/23._inferred_type: mechanism
  • games/congo.json#/coils/23._note: Drops/raises LeftPost and LeftPost_invis. Plays buzz sound when energized.

  • games/congo.json#/coils/24._inferred_type: ball_management
  • games/congo.json#/coils/24._note: Ejects from bsMystery (cvpmSaucer at sw37).
  • games/congo.json#/_source/confidence_notes: High confidence on switches/coils from Controller.Switch() calls, PulseSw calls, and SolCallback/SolModCallback assignments. No Const sw* declarations in table script — all switches referenced by raw number. Lamp IDs from NFadeL/NFadeLm/NFadeLwF calls in UpdateLamps. Flashers (coils 17-21, 25-28) use SolModCallback with SetModLamp/SetModLampm routines or custom Sol28 callback. Trough is a 4-ball cvpmTrough with switches 32-35 and eject via BallRelease kicker (solenoid 9, fires PulseSw 31). Volcano is a separate cvpmTrough (switches 41-43, sol 6). Two-way popper (bsAmyVuk) is cvpmSaucer on switch 53 with two kick directions (sol 3 up, sol 4 down). Mystery saucer (sw37, sol 34) and Map saucer (sw38, sol 22). Upper left flipper present (sULFlipper=34), no upper right flipper. Grey Gorilla mechanism driven by solenoids 15/16. Header comment says Williams 1988 but game is actually Williams 1995.

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.
