So I bought this converted Bally Elektra, the seller didn't make this so he knew nothing about it. Anyway, now I'm trying to power this beast. It's got 5 Phidget control Boards, that basically turn the signals in and outputs into usb signals. Today I connected it to my pc, installed the needed library and it did work. So now I can control the pinball with my pc!

Question now is how to continue, all the examples I see are based on existing boards/brands.

First I thought to use Scratch to program a game, but not sure of these usb signals are supported

Then maybe use the MPF route, does that support usb in and outputs?

Any help appreciated!

Still in need for help, Mission Pinball Framework also looks like it might not support this (simple i/o usb) board
