Polarity is already normalised

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.

Technical details for Coin-door, switch-matrix, and flipper inputsSource-derived address behavior and exceptions

Cabinet inputs

Addresses 1-8 are the four coin inputs and four coin-door service buttons.

Matrix inputs

Public matrix addresses use WPC column/row notation 11-88; values ending in 9 or 0 are not matrix positions.

Generic flipper inputs

The generic flipper column is 111-118 in EOS/button pairs. Pre-Fliptronics games can map their physical EOS switches into the regular matrix while retaining generic cabinet-button inputs.

CPU-board option and country configuration bits

Public addresses Behavior
1-28 Standard drivers.
29-30 J111 state outputs.
31 The real pre-Fliptronic Game-On solenoid, controlled by WPC_GILAMPS bit 7 through the power-driver relay chain to the cabinet switch and flippers.
32 Constant zero.
34, 36, 46, 48 Generic flipper callbacks: upper-right, upper-left, lower-right, and lower-left, respectively.

Explicit unused positions continue through the first custom-output boundary at 50.

Eight-by-eight controlled-lamp matrix

Legal addresses

Transports
  • libpinmamechannel=lamp
  • controller_plugingroup_id=512 · contract_revision=a6f6d7266d30

PinMAME applies wpc_sw2m/wpc_m2sw conversion to lamps. ChangedLamps therefore reports public matrix addresses 11-88 rather than sequential indices 1-64.

Evidence

Something wrong or missing?

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.

Cite a source for anything you change — a manual page, a line in a working VPX script, PinMAME source, or a reading from the machine's own service menu. Claims without provenance cannot be validated.
