Converting Daytona USA 2 twin to PC/Xbox 360

<< < (2/2)

You'll want to buy something like a PacDrive to get USB based light output from your PC (make sure you check software compatibility first) after that you'll likely need to hook it up to a relay to switch the lights on and of since the Pac Drive itself wont be able to power your lights.

chance are the arcade machine had a light driver or relay board in it that you might be able to hook the pacdrive up to instead of using a relay since the original arcade hardware would have had the same issue.

I'm currently working through a similar issue on my Dance Dance Revolution machine and I was able to just tap into the original light control board for a fairly streamlined setup.

Small update: Attempted to extend shaft length on fanatec gt2 wheels but wasn't happy with the result. So put wheels back together and cut out dash instead. A lot happier with the result. Had troubles with one of my wheels where it stopped taking pedal input, so had to replace the wheel too. Daytona 2 twin is up and running but with no shifters yet and now one of my pcs keeps doing BSOD  :angry:

Also got 2 other racing simulators setup with 2 logitech g25 wheels but using original sega pedals and swapped out potentiometers to 10k ohm to work with g25 wheels. 4 player setup now !! With 4 seperate pcs

I wanna setup 4 lights for leader light to flash when that player is in lead, not sure if I can do this with only 1 ledwiz and mamehooker or if I need ledwiz per pc.

I'll post some pics soon

Howard_Casto:
It entirely depends upon the output(s) themselves.  If the outputs for all 4 drivers are all reported by one machine (unlikely) you could use one, otherwise, you'll need one per machine. 

But a ledwiz to control only 4 lamps is a bit overkill.  You may want to try a parallel port interface or something similar.
