Sega/Stern Whitestar

Public input ranges

Whitestar uses PinMAME's sequential switch conversion.

Addresses 85-87 are explicit generic flipper-column holes.

Polarity

The platform leaves the per-game invSw mask zero, so physical normally-closed/opto construction remains a per-game evidence question. inversion_applied_by_emulator only states that consumers must not re-invert the public API state.

Main and flipper outputs

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:

PinMAME synthesizes each canonical callback's hold state whenever its power bit is active, so a recreation must not create duplicate flipper devices.

Synthetic and auxiliary outputs

• 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.

Controlled-lamp matrix

Whitestar reports the eight-by-ten controlled-lamp matrix as sequential public addresses 1-80, with addresses ordered across the eight columns before advancing to the next return row.

Shared transport ceiling

PinMAME sizes this shared transport to 64 + (lampCol * 8). src/wpc/bowlgames.c declares lampCol=34 in coinGameData, shared by the titanic and monopred coin-dropper drivers, hence the platform profile ceiling of 336.

A machine definition must enumerate only addresses its own hardware declaration and game-specific driver writes establish; the profile ceiling never creates physical devices.
