Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:1273336 | Original/Reproduction: Original |
| Country/Region of Manufacture: France |
The PI-1 board is a direct replacement board for the original Gottlieb System 1 CPU board. It is professionally manufactured, built around a modern and fast MPU. Thanks to its strong reliability, its many new & innovative features and its multilingual menus (6 languages available), its success has kept growing since its creation in 2001. The PI-1 is able to bring back to life all 16 games of this great Gottlieb System 1 pinball series plus some European derivative kits . Each game ...plays 100% like the original Gottlieb MPU board. No compromise was ever made and will never be. Some errors made in the original software were identified on certain games and can even be patched, via on-display menus.
FEATURES:One board fits all games: forget all about specific game proms and DIP switches to setThe printed circuit boards (PCB) are integrally gold-plated for an even longer durability and almost zero-wear of the edge connectorsAll integrated circuits (ICs) are socketted (mostly on machine tool sockets) hence easily replaceable without need for specific tools, making maintenance easy and at a much lower costIntegral hardware protections against the most common failures, such as high voltage shorts from playfield coils & switches and, against faults from the main power supply: prevention of most common & destructive failuresAdditional advanced software protection against hang-up and data loss by built-in watchdogEnergy saving board which drains less than 10% of the original board's current on +5V line: the power supply does not even heat up anymoreSet of monitoring lights for CPU activity and +5VAll game data (a.k.a. "bookkeeping") stored in a non-volatile memory, no more battery leakage & corrosionMost recent versions embed an extra set of monitoring lights for all 8 coils and status of outhole and slam switches: more diagnostics to fix faulty games' playfieldsTwo additional header connectors for A1J6/A1J7 in case the original ones were too corroded to be usable still; the wires can then be rerouted onto those new headersAll connectors are double sided; in case the lower side solder pad is damaged it is possible to restore the contact with a double-sided edge connectorEntirely driven by text-style menus, no more obscure DIP SwitchesClearly readable on-display configuration menus & various messages available in French, English, German, Portuguese, Italian & SpanishInstallation manual (downloadable) in English with fully detailed yet simple explanations (so that anyone should be able to install the board)
Loads of new exciting features that may be enabled or disabled at will for full original game compatibility:Playfield attract mode to scroll playfield lamps in game over as on modern gamesSkill shot upon ball launch: a precise target must be scored (randomly chosen among a given list for each game) to earn a bonus that increases with each successMultiple extra ball, several extra balls can be accumulated per each ball in playChance ball, gives the ball back if lost within a given timeTop 5 high scores table with names and scrolling displayUnlimited credits mode, no need for coins or to open up the coin door to add more playsExpert game level (points divided by 10 after 900, 000 points)1-million points awardCounts & displays score over 1, 000, 000 points; the scores display no longer rolls back to zero after 999, 9902 different tilt sensitivitiesAnimated playfield lamps, the lamps of certain targets and rollovers flash briefly when scoredPrevious scores remembered at power-upBonus up to 39, 000 on certain gamesProvision for alternate game rulesThe Special feature can give 50, 000 points or the extra ball feature can give 10, 000 points: great for tournaments!A confirmation is now asked if the CREDIT button has been pressed to abort the game in play and restart a new one (kids..)Idle (power saving) mode that turns off the playfield lamps without any user's action for a long time
