Note that there is a complete drop-in replacement solution if pinball 2000 computer components were not repairable. The owner's game manual is a handy resource to have for general game operation, game settings & diagnostics, switch & lamp matrices, fuse lists, circuit boards and parts, playfield assemblies, some basic schematics, and wiring diagrams.īe aware that although rare, some factory documentation contains errors in schematics, wiring, switch/lamp matrices, and solenoid assignments.ĭetails for board and cabinet schematics and theory of operation guides for pinball 2000 games can be found in game manuals and the Schematic Manual. Schematics for each game are essential in tracing down connections to lamps, switches, and solenoids.

* Denotes a game that was never produced 2.1 Recommended Documentation 2.1.1 Manuals & Schematics Only two games were released using the P2K platform, with 2 or 3 in development when Williams ceased production. The MediaGX did not sell well, and the boards and chips are now hard to find. Unfortunately, the software requires the Cyrix MediaGX CPU for its display.

There are two proprietary components, the PRISM card, which contains the roms and booted the PC without a hard disk, and an audio amp. To be able to handle both the pinball and video aspects of the game, the designers of Pinball 2000 used a commercial off the shelf PC based on a unique graphics and CPU processor, the Cyrix MediaGX. This is known as the Pepper's Ghost effect. Using a 19' arcade monitor (CGA Resolution) and special playfield glass that is coated to reflect the image, it created the illusion of holographic images on the playfield. This system was a hybrid of conventional pinball with a video aspect. The reasons for why Williams ceased production are highly debated and more information can be found here. This was the last system used in a pinball machine before Williams ceased production of pinball machines. Pinball 2000 (P2K) was the answer to a failing pinball industry. 6.1 Light Saber on SW:E1 Will not Light.4.10.2 Modifying The Original Audio Amplifier.
