pinmame.stern-mpu200
PinMAME reports logical active state on this platform. A consumer must not invert again. Whether a real switch is normally closed stays recorded per device as a physical fact, so a recreation can build the right hardware without changing what the emulator reports.
pinmame.input.switch
Public switches 1-40 are the five-column by eight-return matrix. Self-test, CPU diagnostic, and sound diagnostic are -7 through -5. VPinMAME exposes the four generic flipper-button positions at 81-84; Ali uses lower-right 82 and lower-left 84.
physical.input.direct
No stable transport — these are physical identities the public API does not carry.
Addresses 1 and 2 are profile-local identities for left and right flipper end-of-stroke contacts. These contacts switch the dual-winding flipper circuits directly and are not PinMAME switch addresses.
pinmame.input.dip
pinmame.output.solenoid
The decoder exposes public outputs 1-15; value 16 is an unaddressable decoder slot. PinMAME exposes the four continuous outputs at 17-20. Generic VPinMAME flipper callbacks expose lower-right at 46 and lower-left at 48. Physical service-diagnostic numbering is game wiring and remains a machine-level alias.
pinmame.output.lamp
The LDA-100 has sixty discrete SCR outputs, not a lamp matrix. PinMAME's four groups contain public values 1-15, 17-31, 33-47, and 49-63; 16, 32, 48, and 64 are unaddressable decoder slots.

Address ranges, transports and normalisation rules live in one profile file. If PinMAME exposes a group this profile does not describe — or describes wrongly — the fix belongs there.
