Daytona USA 2 Cab Conversion

[terminator2k2]

Well I decided to convert my mame machine into a dedicated OutRun 2 SP Arcade machine , using Arcade Components.....

So the search began for a chihiro Type 3 , which I got with a power supply and a I/O Board...

when I tried testing the system, the I/O Board was faulty...So I got one off Mo @ Videotronics....

I got a Compact Flash Card and a IDE to compact flash adapter from Ebay and put Outrun 2 SP on there....

I updated the firmware of the chihiro using an update from DarkSoft and netbooted it to the Chihiro....This allowed any compact flash to work on the chihiro...

I got a Zero Pic chip off Terry (BBZ149)

So I ordered a load of connectors from RS:



I then made up the complete loom for Outrun 2 using a online manual...

At this point all was up and running using my model 2 dash which is now owned by Rich....

I got a Model 3 Dash off Ian....Cheers mate....I would love to have seen some of the folks faces when we were stripping the thing in the back of my van lol on a busy Saturday dinner time on a very busy car park lol

Just testing a few things in the cab:

Ive since tidied up the cabling and got a chihiro power extension and a midi Drive Board...

I got a Ferrari centre cap and Bolts and a vr sticker off muddy.....

Well today I connected up the Midi Drive board and filmed it live and its Alive.....

well just a small update.....ive been doing the battery backup mod as done by a few members on here....

pictures not the best.....This will be mounted on the rear of the cab in the empty space....

[terminator2k2]

ive just added these lol....overkill???





well at least i know my battery is working.....the original wouldnt keep the game and settings as soon as i powered off and back on again......

[terminator2k2]

I got some end plates for the foot plate , so decided to put some ribbed rubber matting on there.....ive seen it done like this on a few cabs , but cant remember where haha

I couldnt find the coach bolts to fit the foot plate, but arcade world sell these which do the trick perfectly....just need to cut them down....

[terminator2k2]

got my naomi 2 today to try out  pi net booter and card emu.....works a treat


! No longer available

first time i played it with proper ffb....whooooo feedback when you go over the rumble strips

[terminator2k2]

Well i got my brother to 3d print a box to house volume control, test, service and credit button

[terminator2k2]

ive had the metal part stripped where the pedals are as it was looking quite bad after i put the foot plate in.......plus i had to remove the front end to get the naomi in.....will be re-sprayed

[terminator2k2]

After keep having to open up the cab to swap over the vga cable, power cables , i/o board usb cable , drive board cable, audio cables every time i wanted to swap between the chihro and the naomi 2.......I came up with a plan to automate it by just pressing a switch on the back of the cab....
i used a relay board to switch the usb and drive board cables...2 x 30 amp relays for the 3.3v and 5v feeds....and a vga auto switcher to switch the video and audio.....
the relays are switched by wiring the grounds through a on/off switch......and its working great.....
i will be powering down the cab , then switching the relays on or off.....that way there shouldnt be any arcing in the relays by switching them while the naomi power is live.....
