See this ancient thread, it has some diagrams and stuff. But basically for the buttons you want duplicating you will want to use a similar cable to the ground loop cable, IE cable from ipac to NO on CPO Button1 then onto NO on Pinball button1 Repeat this with button 2, 3 and 4. I presume you can reprogram the software to use the same keypress for upper flippers as magnasaves.

Also my crap diagram attached
PL1:
I'm working on a clear and easy-to-follow wiring diagram.
Will post it soon.

Unfortunately, VP/FP is definitely not as easily configurable as MAME.
Redefining those keys would be a real pain IIRC.

PL1:
Just remembered these diagrams that should clear it all up.
If you're using MAME player buttons with 3 terminals, you can wire them "backwards" like this.
If you're using buttons like Ultimarc's Goldleaf that only have two terminals, this is a way to wire it using two diodes so that the flipper can trigger both inputs, but the associated MAME player buttons won't trigger the other when you press it.

Sorry guys I never got back to you's. I ended up getting 4 buttons so I'll see how it goes.
Shouldn't be to hard.
Does it matter what buttons you wire the pinball buttons in conjunction with?
So I'll just connect the pinball buttons to P1 buttons 1234?
Thanks again big help!
DickTurpin:
Cant you double up using your main buttons for select in the front end and things?
