Converting Daytona USA 2 twin to PC/Xbox 360
Boomslang:
Hi Guys,
I loved my Daytona USA 2 twin but one of the video boards crapped out and became hard to get and expensive, so I made the decision to convert to PC/Xbox 360. I started removing everything last week leaving just the frame and cleaned out both machines. Installed 2 32" LCD monitors in and utilized the original bezel around the monitor by cutting out the grills etc and filled the mess left with plastic putty to make smooth walls etc again and sanded/painted. I've got 2 Fanatec GT2 Wheels and I didn't want to cut the dash out so I have made up a couple extension shafts so I don't have too. I chose not to keep the original Sega Pedals and instead inverted the pedals from Logitech G25's and attached to panel. I haven't decided on what shifter I will use yet as I don't like the Logitech shifter or the Fanatec Shifters much
Ill post some pics soon once everything is basically finished maybe over next couple weeks
I have a question I'm hoping someone can answer....On the Daytona 2 twin I have a topper which had a flouro lights on the far left and right side which lit up when that player was in 1st position. Does Sega Model 2 Emulator or Supermodel Emulator etc have the ability to transmit outputs or such so that I can still use this? It was a cool feature which I would like to keep if possible

I would use the original 4 speed Daytona shifters hacked through a jamma to USB or game pad.
My ridge racer 2 has the leader lights also, I never even looked into how to make them work.

Yeah I did consider using the 4 speed shifter but I want the ability for 6 gears + reverse as I won't be just using Arcade 4 speed games. Since my wheel works on Xbox 360/PS3 and PC

Yes, but it requires some extra software.
Both require Howard Casto's MAMEHooker: http://dragonking.arcadecontrols.com/static.php?page=aboutmamehooker
Sega Model 2 Emulator will also require his Troubleshooter 2 (Shoot Harder): http://dragonking.arcadecontrols.com/static.php?page=aboutTS2
(currently Troubleshooter 2 only works with version 1.0 of M2emulator)
I'm not sure what build added outputs to supermodel. It may have been an interim since the last official release, so track down the most recent SVN build. If Bart holds to tradition, he'll make a new official release on April 1st.

what do I need from mamehooker etc to then send the power to the lights on topper? There must be some kinda controller or such which operates a relay or something?
