...Let's build a pinball machine!

Mission Pinball Framework (MPF) is an open source, cross-platform software for powering real pinball machines in restaurants, bars, arcades, and elsewhere. MPF is developed by fun people under the MIT license, and supported by a vibrant pinball-loving community. It is a work in progress we are actively developing. We review commits weekly.

You can use MPF to power your own custom-built machine, or to update software in existing Williams, Bally, Stern, or Data East pinball machines. MPF interfaces with machines via modern pinball controller hardware, including (but not limited to):

• Multimorphic P-ROC or P3-ROC systems
• FAST Pinball controllers
• Open Pinball Project (OPP) open source hardware
• Stern SPIKE pinball systems

MPF is written in Python 3. It is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux using the same code and configurations.

See also the MPF Media Controller (based on Kivy), which is used to control graphics and sounds, including high-res LCD displays, classic DMDs, and modern RGB LED DMDs.
