WiFlip

WiFlip GUI
wiflip plainview

Introduction

WiFlip is a multiplatform communication tool for wireless controlling WiFlip devices.

With WiFlip, one can control Gottlieb and Recel pinballs, once a pps4 clone has been installed in replacement of the original MPU or PPS4 chip. PPS4 and MPU clones are available at pps4.fr. They are all compatible with WiFlip.

Typical application, is diagnostic and maintenance of pinballs, reprogrammation of game version, and much more

WiFlip is developped with python 3.something and source code is available from github at https://github.com/garzol/wiflip.git

Info! It goes without saying that your pinball is always 100% operable even if the wifi communication is not established, or there is no computer next to it. Typical use cases for WiFlip are pinball diagnostic and repair, game reprogramming, or non volatile memory accesses.

Several Win64 builds are available from the table below. They were generated with pyinstaller, and packed in an installer thanks to the excellent innosetup tool

How to check SHA digests

Presented SHA256 are those corresponding to the installer executables, not the final applications, neither their zip containers.

To recalculate and compare SHAs on your computer, execute the following command:

Windows
Get-FileHash /path/to/file | Format-List
Mac
shasum -a 256 /path/to/file

Mac specifics

On MACOS, you will have to go to Parameters->Confidentiality... And then, specifically give execution permissions to WiFlip. WiFlip is experimental, and there is currently no plan to register this application with Apple. Nevertheless, you can check the SHA256 digest to make sure what you get is was you think you get.

WiFlip signature

All WiFlip applications are (self)signed. Self signature is not like peeing in a fiddle or cumbing the giraffe... Because the corresponding public certificate is downloadable from the github of the project. It can be compared with the certificate which is included in the app itself. Therefore it is reliable, even though Windows will not agree with this and complain all the time. So you will have to unlock the protections from Windows in order to download the files. This is safe, whatever the computer will tell you. These protections are only there to force developpers to spend their money for nothing other than to fatten up billionaires who are already far too fat.

Install with pip

You can also give a try to command 

pip install wiflip
It depends whether yoi know about pip and your python installation is standard. Otherwise it could become a nightmare to go that way... If you succeeded in installing WiFlip this way, you can start the application with one of the following calls (from the console):
wiflip
wiflip-zero
