GottFA80_Plus V2 — Full version (CPU + integrated sound board)

All-in-one replacement CPU board with integrated sound for Gottlieb System 80, 80A and (audio on 3 titles) System 80B pinball machines. Replaces the MPU + Driver + power supply in one Plug & Play board, with true Freeplay, the original Gottlieb ROMs interpreted in the FPGA, and the original audio built in — no software emulation, no battery, scores saved.

  • System 80A: all games
  • System 80B: Bounty Hunter, Chicago Cubs Triple Play and Tag Team only. For any other 80B, choose the Light version (no sound).

Key features

  • Plug & Play — no A1-J4 / A3-J1 cable needed.
  • Replaces MPU + Driver + power supply (System 80 & 80A).
  • True Freeplay; reliable (no freeze, no battery, scores saved).
  • Original ROMs interpreted in the FPGA; original audio integrated.
  • Respects original functions: dipswitches, Slam control.

80B note: do not use the GottFA80_Plus integrated power supply on 80B games.

FA·CONTROL: test your pinball from your phone

This board comes with FA·CONTROL, our Wi-Fi service tool. Open a web browser on your phone, tablet or laptop and test your machine part by part. No app to install, no extra hardware.

The FA·CONTROL home screen in a web browser, with buttons for lamps, coils, switches, game RAM, sound, displays, Wi-Fi, names, FPGA and self-test.

The real FA·CONTROL home screen: every test is one click away.

What you can do from your browser

Lamps
Switch any lamp on or off to spot a dead bulb or a faulty lamp circuit.
Coils
Fire any coil on its own to check the coil and its drive circuit.
Switches
Watch every switch react live as you press it on the playfield.
Displays
Drive the score displays to check every digit and segment.
Sounds
Play the game's sounds one by one to check the sound side.
Game memory
Read the game's memory live while it plays, for advanced troubleshooting.
Names
Load a names file for your game, so tests show real names instead of numbers.
Wi-Fi & updates
Put the board on your home Wi-Fi and install new firmware versions.
Self-test
Run the board's self-test in one click.

Switch test on a Gottlieb: press a switch on the playfield and watch it light up on screen.

How it works

  1. Power on the machine.
  2. Connect your phone or laptop to the board over Wi-Fi. Once the board is on your home Wi-Fi, you'll find it at pstore-1.local.
  3. Open FA·CONTROL and pick a test. FA·CONTROL takes control of the board while you test, so nothing fires on its own. Release control and the game plays again.

Stand at the playfield with your phone in hand and test one part at a time, instead of going back and forth to the test buttons in the coin door.

FA·CONTROL is our version of the LISY pinball service tool. It runs on the Smart FA, the FPGA module we design, make and assemble ourselves, and on its ESP32 Wi-Fi chip, and it speaks the protocol of the open LISY project (lisy.dev). Available on the GottFA80_Plus (Light and Full) and the WillFA7: free, included with the board, and improved through free updates.
