FreeWPC is a software framework for writing new software for 1990's Bally/Williams pinball machines. The framework allows you to build your own ROM images, define your own game rules, incorporate dot matrix animations, design lamp shows, and so on.

Features

  • Common APIs for controlling pinball hardware
  • Examples of new games for machines like Twilight Zone and World Cup Soccer
  • Contains its own standalone operating system for running directly on real pinball hardware
  • Written portability so that other pinball hardware may be supported in the future
  • Can also be compiled to run directly on your development machine for testing
