Hi ! Here's the first prototype of my IO board replacement for use with an emulator.

https://github.com/Maillouski/M2-IO-Emulator-Board

It even got a video amp if the input video signal is not strong enough to drive the CRT correctly.

This is what I was tinkering with the emulator for and this thread was helpful in getting it to a 'functional enough' state.  This is in my basement for now but it's a 4 Player LAN Party exhibition setup for Vintage Computer Fest Montreal where it'll be running typical LAN party games from 20 or more years ago.  But I thought it'd be fun to have Daytona USA ready to go as a bonus cause it'd be fun to see 4 players actually enjoying it's networked function.  There's player instruction cards for the gamepad mappings, all is just copied from the Xbox Live Arcade port layout.  And for fun, the RGB in the peripherals changes to match the player car when Daytona is running.

... like one vent on the bottom rear one on the top plenty?

Aye, inlet and outlet.

Where does the CRT go?

Sorry for the necro question, I came across this thread trying to resolve the 'cars flicking in Daytona with network play' thing and the conclusion seems to be 'there's no real fix' but have any of you tried it on a VRR/FreeSync capable display?

With FrameSkip and FrameSync to 1, I had flickering.  Vsync was off since I was using 180hz FreeSync displays, but I decided to turn it on and voila?  The framerate is a bit funny, it's 58fps, then jumps for a moment every few seconds, but nothing flickers and the audio doesn't seem to desync either.

Honestly, this topic will never be closed until the issue is resolved; it’s been nearly 13 years since the first post, and a lot has happened since then, MAME emulating Model 2 decently, and just a few days ago, teknoparrot also running Model 2 games great (I hope teknoparrot sorts this out once and for all). Still, it would be interesting if you posted a video of the result and a mini-tutorial here.

Agreed. I'm currently fooling around with this custom ARM HW that is able to run Daytona at full 60FPS without a sweat. It runs natively on it. Minimal linux Kernel + Daytona Emulation code with many fixes. It natively boots into Daytona. There's just the Kernel and the emulator. No Operating System. It acts just like a real arcade.

No network issue. No flickering/lagging/synchro issue.

It currently workj with USB steering and I'm going to develop a PCB to interface with the DriveBoard, IO Board PreAmp, and the most difficult, the original CRT (if you don't want to use LVDS or HDMI output). The soundboard will not be needed anymore.
Oh, native 16:9 also. Color is perfect, too.

I want to build this so I can still enjoy my real cabinet without the fear of getting a Soundboard or CPU stack to stop working.

wow wow, this has potential! Please document it on YouTube or GitHub; it could be the solution for many who are still struggling with the Link System, If you manage to enable native resolution for CRTs, FFB, and output lights, I’ll ditch MAME and the Model 2 emulator the very next day.

Yes. I will release everything on Github once tested.

I’m about 90% done with the IO Board replacement PCB.

A native Daytona USA recomp project was recently released that offers support for FFB, widescreen, and what interests us most, a link system support; I haven't tested it and don't know if it's stable, but I think it's promising, considering it's open source. I hope SailorSat can explore this project.

anyone know how best to contact Glen about his products, I have tried email, FB but no response on anything.

Any help appreciated.

hmm. he usually responds. post on his youtube page.

I was looking at the facebook app through the Quest 3 yesterday, you can look at facebook in passthrough mode with a big screen floating in front of you. I was shocked to see every image that anyone posted was 3D! It was AI that was doing it and it was good. The pictures all looked like they were taken with a left and right eye 3D camera. This sent me into a rabbit hole. I was like can you do this with video as well? I downloaded an experimental program called Pop3D. It essentially links your headset to your desktop PC and on your PC Graphic card it runs AI models to make your entire content on your desktop to become 3D. I was looking at all kinds of stuff, I was looking at google maps street view now with depth, I was looking at zillows 3d home tours now with depth. I put on anime and porn. The AI model just knows what needs to be in the foreground and what needs to be in the background on any image. There does seem to be a little lag when I am streaming it from my desktop. I was going to start playing WOW forever next month, I wonder if I can use this to make the game more immersive.

Posting a post so I can PM a PM.
