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.

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 :)
