Using the XBOX Series X Controller or equivalent I found the following to be the Button mappings in Visual Pinball:

 

Button 1 - A

Button 2 - B

Button 3 - X

Button 4 - Y

Button 5 - Top Left

Button 6 - Top Right

Button 7 - Back/Select

Button 8 - Start

Button 9 - L3

Button 10 - R3

 

I went through the rest up to 24 and I could not find any that worked for the triggers, which would have been ideal.  I hope this helps someone mapping theirs as it takes out all the guesswork.

The triggers are not buttons, they are analog axis
you would want to use antimicro to convert those to left and right control if you want to use them as the magnasave/secondary flipper buttons


If you feel the need to empty your wallet in my direction, i don't have any way to receive it anyways

Kind of stuck here.  Downloaded Antimicro, installed it, and I have mapped the Controller, then saved it as Default.

I see in Visual Pinball where I would set each Magnasave as a "flipper," but not sure how to set that in Antimicro.

 

Edit:  In Visual Pinball I have L Flipper set to L Cntrl, and R Flipper set to R Cntrl.  Buttons under each set to (none).

In Antimicro I clicked on L Trigger mapping and selected Cntrl, and for R Trigger I set Right Cntrl.  Hit OK in Visual Pinball, and Saved in Antimicro, but still can't get them to work.

 

Solution:  It's working now.  I guess I just needed to keep Antimicro running.

leave antimicro run yes

 

but id recommend
Left shoulder button = left flipper
Right shoulder button = right flipper

Left trigger = L Ctrl (in anti micro)

Right trigger = R Ctrl (in antimicro)

 

Then you can better play tables that have independent flippers, or actually have magnasave buttons.

 

Unless i am misunderstanding what you did?
