CannonBoard - original Outrun machine to PC interface

(1/1)

BadMouth:
Thanks to Felsir for linking to Reassembler's Cannonball blog in his 80's Arcade Racer thread.
I hadn't checked it out in a while and see that Reassembler is up to another epic project.

Well Fed Games:
This comes out, driving mechanism gears get cheaper... after I part out my Outrun cab.  :-\ Such an awesome project though, and needed... Outrun cabs (even working) are somewhat reasonably priced but parts have been super expensive.

Howard_Casto:
Yeah he mentioned this to me quite a while ago.  Hopefully I can eventually add mamehooker support to the device so people with outrun machines can run ALL sega racers on it.
