Profile

MPF (Mission Pinball Framework) is an open-source software framework created by FAST hardware developers that enables communication between FAST boards and pinball game logic. It is widely used in homebrew pinball machine development for programming rules and control logic, as demonstrated across multiple custom builds including Monster League Hockey, The Invaders, and Mad Max Fury Road. While versatile and freely available to the community, some developers have criticized it for efficiency compared to proprietary alternatives.
