Hi,
today, we are proud to announce support for the LISY platform in the Mission Pinball Framework (MPF).
The Linux Interface for Gottlieb SYstem (LISY) completely replaces the MPU in a Gottlieb system 1 or 80 machine for less than 100 bucks.
It allows you to play your original ROM using PinMAME and to run custom code using MPF by just changing a DIP switch.
No further modifications to your hardware are needed.
Starting with firmware version 4.02, LISY can act as a hardware interface to Gottlieb machines in MPF (current dev version; future 0.50 release).
Your custom game can either run on a separate PC and connect using USB or serial (very useful during development) or it can run directly on the LISY MPU itself (no extra hardware needed).
All Gottlieb system 1/80 peripherals are supported: 7-segment displays/20-segment alpha numeric displays, switches on the switch matrix, lights, coils, coils on lamp drivers (such as flipper enable and tilt relay) and sound with the original sounds.
Furthermore, you can run the MPF media manager on a separate PC to play custom sounds or add a LCD or DMD.
Thanks to bontango for all the excellent work on the LISY firmware. You can get the hardware and hardware documentation at www.lisy80.com. The MPF documentation about LISY and Gottlieb System 1/80 can be found at http://docs.missionpinball.org/en/latest/hardware/lisy/index.html.
