Warning

This is the documentation the latest work-in-progress version of MPF!

This is the documentation for MPF 0.56, which is the “dev” (next) release of MPF that is a work-in-progress. This is probably ok, and means you’ll be on the latest, cutting-edge version of MPF.

However, if you want a more stable version, select the v:stable version from the lower-left corner of this page, which is the most recent version that is not getting new updates.

If you are new to MPF, we have recently rewritten the installation process which only applies to this “latest” 0.56, so you probably want to stay here because the prior installation process doesn’t work on the latest OS and Python versions.

The MPF Cookbook

The MPF cookbook contains recipes (how to guides) which show you how you would implement complex features in your pinball machines using MPF.

Here are the recipes that are done:

• The Addams Family: Mansion Awards
• Attack From Mars: Super Jets
• Indiana Jones: Rollover Lanes (with Lane Change)
• Batman 66: Gadgets Targets
• Modifying the Game mode: Dual launch devices
• Skillshots with Lane Change
• Skillshots with Auto-Rotate
• Sequential Drop Bank Targets

If you’ve ever played a game and wondered, “How would I do that?” then let us know and we’ll write a recipe for it! And here’s what’s on our to-do list:

• Attack from Mars: 5-Way Combo
• Red & Ted’s RoadShow: Bulldozer hits to ball lock & multiball
• Red & Ted’s RoadShow: City modes
• Centigrade 37: Flip-flopping groups of lit targets
• Judge Dredd DeadWorld ball lock and multiball
• Demolition Man Crane elevator & unloader
