Legacy sources disagree on label: 'ROM Started' versus 'Flasher - Jackpot'.

What would settle it

this machine's own printed Solenoid/Flasher table, no copy of which is currently retained, or a LibPinMAME trace against a legal bop_l7 ROM observing whether public 19 pulses like a flasher or holds for the duration of a game; pinned core.h's WPC solenoid numbering and wpc.c's WPC_GILAMPS handling put this pre-Fliptronic generation's real game-on relay at public 31, inside the 29-31 state range rather than anywhere in the 1-28 driver range.

14 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.

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 - source-derived recreation knowledge requiring validation

Overview

Legacy evidence identifies this candidate as Williams (1991). 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/bop.json#/_source/confidence_notes: High confidence on switches/coils. No Const sw* definitions in script — switches identified from _Hit/_UnHit subs, Controller.Switch() calls, PulseSw calls, and trough init. Custom nFozzy trough (not cvpmTrough) with 3 balls at sw27/sw26/sw25(ballrelease). Head mechanism uses cvpmMyMech with sol 27 (direction) and sol 28 (motor), switch 67 (head position). Solenoids 17-24 are flashers — 17 (Billions) and 19 (Jackpot) route through SetLamp to Lampz; 18 (left ramp) and 20 (skill shot) use custom flash subs; 21-24 are dome flashers on the helmet. Solenoids 27/28 are head motor (PROC only via SolCallback, non-PROC uses cvpmMyMech). Solenoid 40 (FlipperRelay) is PROC-only. Flipper coils use framework constants (sLRFlipper=46, sLLFlipper=48 from core.vbs). Cabinet flipper switches 11/12 set directly in KeyDown/KeyUp. UseSolenoids=2 (FastFlips), UseLamps=0, UseSync=1. Script supports both PinMAME and PROC modes. Lamp assignments from Lampz.MassAssign — comprehensive coverage of inserts 11-68, helmet/backglass lamps 71-88, GI at 91-108. Backglass body lamps 71-78 and 81-85 are VR-only. Switch 100 is rubber band impact sensor (PulseSw 100 from multiple wall_Hit subs).

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.
