1 Introduction

Capcom turned it hand to Pinball in 1995?. The company brough its electronics experience from designing video games, and the Capcom platform included a number of technological advances ignored by mainstream manufacturers. In particular, Capcom made extensive use of surface-mount parts and moved to the high performance 68xxx 32-bit processor.

2 Games

  • Flipper Football
  • Airborne
  • Breakshot
  • Pinball Magic
  • Big Bang Bar
  • Kingpin

3 Technical Info

Things like Data East's controller board was a copy of William's System 11 with some changes would go here.

4 Problems and Fixes

4.1 Power Driver Issues

This may not apply to some, as MPU might have been part of it.

4.2 MPU Issues

4.3 Power Supply Issues

4.4 Display Driver Board

Possibly doesn't apply to some, can't think of an example.

5 Game Specific Problems and Fixes

Example would be servo controller on Independence Day pinball

Capcom used tiny connectors to the ball trough opto boards. Carefully wrap a small cable tie around it and it stays put better.

Capcom also used too fine a wire for switches. Easy to have one break off, which in turn can make that switch and others not work. First thing to check for when a switch doesn't work. LTG :)
