im still trying to figure out where to put the front left and right speakers..i could build them into the underneath of the top of the screen bezel or put them in the marquee...

Ok, so no problems running the M2 or supermodel emulators? I'm having a hard time with demul (naomi/atomiswave) with my i5 650
-
No they run well, havent tried demul so cant really say , i did try initial d but it doesnt run that good anyway.
-
Looking great man.
-
nice!
I guess you use a model 2 dash board (daytona/ sega rally ) for the use of L2M2?
Why don't you post in the driving section ?
-
Looks sweet so far. :cheers:
Why don't you post in the driving section ?
Projects belong in the Project Announcements subforum so the uninitiated who don't peruse the driving cab subforum can see them.
This was part of the discussion before creating the driving cab subforum.
I haven't bothered moving the ones posted in the driving cab subforum because I figured it could use the extra content for now.
That might change in the future.
The original idea was for the build thread to be here, and then have a single pic and link in the Driving Cab projects sticky.

Damn that looks perfect.

Have you thought about trying to squeeze the speakers in elsewhere? The model 2 cabs had the speakers firing into a pair of horn shaped boxes that ended in a narrow slot on each side of the monitor. You might be able to pull off something similar above or below the flatscreen.
-
cheers :)
im thinking of putting the speakers in the screen bezel, in the cavity between the top of the screen and the top part of the bezel. ill take the speakers out of their orinigal housing and mount them at the top of the bezel.

just a small update, managed to source some sega vr buttons, courtesy of northwest off ukvac forum

here is the finished panel:
couldn't quite get the lighting right, it was in a brightly lit room, but the camera on my phone just didn't like it...

just need a new vr panel sticker..
What are you planning on doing for that?
I should have some tracings I did of originals along with a few mock-ups in various states of completion.
They'd just be in .png format. (they are in paint.net files currently)
Not sure how helpful they would be, but it's a useable outline anyway.
I could post them if you're interested.
If you're just going to go with a new old stock sticker, then I guess they wouldn't be of any use.

well after a couple of teething problems with the monitor , I can see light at the end of the tunnel....
ive fitted my old bezel which has a nasty crack in it at the top, due to the missus treading on it when I left it in the hall way....I think ive got 1 sorted from Vamino...just need to pick it up....
The transformer is causing a wobbly picture so need to re-locate it....I hope that's all it is.....any way a few pics from today...

Damn is that well done! :notworthy: Wish I had the space for dedicated cab like these!
My only nitpick (due to my "ocd" with art and colors) is the yellow of your Vr buttons sticker... It just clash. But I know it's really hard to match colors. Very impressive work! :cheers:
-
Decided to attempt the seat back repair.....
there was a chunk missing out of the top left corner , and once i removed the black paint the other side had a few cracks aswell......
so ive used some epoxy putty on both sides to cover the missing broken piece and try to give the other corner some strength and prevent it from breaking off or creating more cracks.....next is to prime the area and paint it......im only going to paint the corners as i dont want the repair to stand out too much...or else it would need the complete seat back re-painting....

had these from muddymusic on UKVAC, just need to finish the seat back and get them stuck on....

Fantastic.
:applaud:
-
ok managed to fix the broken seat back at the top on both sides, but spraying it fluorscent yellow was just a pain, it stood out a mile, so decided to spray the top piece black to where the top sega sticker would be going:

This really is the most well done racing cab conversion I've seen in a long time. You should be proud :notworthy:
-
bumping this hoping you can re-upload the pictures. I started to build a sit down cab but Im thinking about just converting my Daytona USA2 instead.
I'd like to see what you did so I can maybe do the same and just make new harnessed and the like to keep it reversible.
-
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:
(http://i.imgur.com/GLAtGXU.jpg)
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:

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....

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......
-
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....

first time i played it with proper ffb....whooooo feedback when you go over the rumble strips
-
Well i got my brother to 3d print a box to house volume control, test, service and credit button
(http://i.imgur.com/A7K3VLG.jpg)
-
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
(http://i.imgur.com/29pV3Dl.jpg)
-
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.....
