Hi everyone,

In my Pinball I use an EG STARTS board to which I have connected the various buttons to play the PINBALL X boards.

I would like to add another EG STARTS card,

add extra buttons and have control of the setup of those boards like Attack & Revenge From Mars (Bally 1999) via the service keys.

Visual Pinball can use up to 24 different buttons but I don't understand how to do it, I'll let you understand better.

If I connect 2 EG STARTS boards,

the first with 10 connected buttons and the second with 5 connected buttons, they will have the first 5 buttons in common, for example if I associate the COINS with the first card door 1, second card OPEN DORS door 1, if I press the button both functions are activated at the same time.

How can I solve it? Is there an ini file where both EG STARS cards can be mapped without having problems with a common port number but with a different assigned command?

thanks for your help

Yes this is very difficult if you use the same board. 
Even with Joytokey or similar software it will happen often that the two boards are swapped or otherwise mixed up .. it's nearly impossible to avoid since they will get getting the same hardware ID from Windows. 

Recommend you get another USB encoder by a different brand.
