Sega/Stern Whitestar

Whitestar uses PinMAME's sequential switch conversion. Public 1-64 are the eight-by-eight playfield/cabinet matrix. Public -3 is coin-door memory protect, -2/-1/0 are the red/green/black coin-door service buttons, 81-84 are right EOS/right button/left EOS/left button, and 88 supplies the fifth dedicated input used by games with an upper flipper. Addresses 85-87 are explicit generic flipper-column holes.

The physical SW300 country selector consumes the low five bits. The eight-address LibPinMAME DIP contract is retained so definitions can enumerate the complete public bank and mark bits 6-8 unused.

Physical main-board Q1-Q14 and Q17-Q32 retain their public numbers. Physical Q15/Q16 are removed from public 15/16 and exposed through legacy lower-flipper pairs: Q16 right at power-phase address 45 and canonical callback 46, Q15 left at power-phase address 47 and canonical callback 48. PinMAME synthesizes each canonical callback's hold state whenever its power bit is active, so a recreation must not create duplicate flipper devices. Public 15 is PinMAME's synthetic fast-flip/game-on state and public 16 is its unused companion slot. Whitestar auxiliary boards use 33-36; board 520-5068-01 exposes three outputs at 33-35 and leaves 36 unused. Addresses 37-44 are reserved compatibility holes, 49 is the simulation shooter slot, and 50 is reserved.

Whitestar reports eight drive columns by ten return rows as sequential public addresses 1-80, with addresses ordered across the eight columns before advancing to the next return row. Game-specific LED or mini-display compatibility data can use additional layouts or explicitly documented compatibility channels rather than being mistaken for matrix lamps.

PinMAME exposes Whitestar's GI relay as aggregate channel 0 even when the cabinet has several separately fused physical illumination strings behind that relay.
