Battle Gear conversion project

[Peabo]

I just picked up a Battle Gear cabinet today and I managed to get all the controls with it.  I intend to run emulated arcade racing and pc racing games in this cabinet.  I've done some searching and reading and it looks like to use these controls with emulators I need to make a L2M2 interface?  Most of the threads about this are over 2 years old, is still the best option?  Is there anyone making these boards?

Anyhow, here's some pictures of my junk right now.

L2M2 interface is only for Sega Model 1 and Model 2 steering setups.
It won't work for your Battle Gear cab.

Post some pics of your force feedback hardware.

There is a reason most people just end up dropping a PC wheel into the cab.

The hardware is all Happ controls.  I'll take a photos of the hardware

Scroll down to the pic of the Happ ffb setup in the driving cab info thread:

Easiest way is to use an immersion ffb board from an arcade machine that was based around a windows PC.
They are hard to find though.

Aganyte, the creator of the L2M2 board also created a board for Happ setups.  I don't know of anyone who has tried it, but he says it works great and doesn't have any of the issues that the servo amplifier hack has.

All these are there in the driving cab info thread.
