...and the result is here

Ok, back on the topic

So I got the same TV model than the one in the cab #1.

I dismantle it, and I fix the tube + chassis inside the original Daytona monitor frame :

Jesus! Dust

Let us this air compressor :

Far better

Let's fix all that stuff inside the cab #2

Now, both cabs' have the same display

I hope I'll get he same tube/chassis in place tommorow !!
touching wood...

OK, it's time to prepare the panel #2

There it is

Of course, I'll do the same job than previously : hacking the hardware of this Logitech Racing Wheel

..alll the details of it, if you plan to do the same

Ok, I'm connecting the original Daytona wheel pot on the Logitech board, instead the original Logitech one. Same value...so ... it works

For the buttons (up/down, start, change view, and A,B,X,Y), I'm looking for each track on the boards...

...and I hack them like this. Don't forget to use your hot glue gun to protect the soldering, like this

Ok, all the buttons are now 'hacked'

DarthNuno · « **Reply #51 on:** January 26, 2009, 07:08:12 PM »

OK, the *bad* thing regarding the panel #2 is ... the condition of some buttons

Some of them are impossible to push... someone used a lighter or something, and use it on the buttons

Hopefully, I've founded two buttons *brand new* (and very expensive by the way

) : the blue and the green.

The yellow one, on the previous picture is useless : it doesn't match with this button panel... it's a button for other SEGA games, like Space Harrier for example.

So I'm still looking for others buttons : the big rounded yellow, and the yellow square + red square. If you know where to buy them, please let me know

regarding the buttons, what size are they in mm.
i found these at arcadeshop.de but i feel sure you must know the site, so i fear they arent the correct ones. anyway
worth a try

polaris · « **Reply #53 on:** January 28, 2009, 03:17:35 PM »

hmm, looking again, i see the rear of that button is quite specific, i wonder if you could hack new fronts onto the old connectors, the front of the buttons from arcadeshop look correct at least

DarthNuno · « **Reply #54 on:** January 28, 2009, 05:38:48 PM »

Thanks for the link Polaris

I'll check if the size/shape is the same.
I'll also check the price again at http://www.namusco.be. I've got theses two buttons (red+green square)

..from them. I'm sure they still have new ones, but I know it's expensive

That's the reason why I'm looking for other place to buy them

OK, back to work

Before to hack the gear shifter, let's clean the 'gear box'. I remove the shifter and ... hey?!... 2€ ... I'm rich

Let's remove all the panel now

Ouch... dust (cough cough)

After cleaning the stuff... let's put a *BRAND* new panel

you'll be able to hack to shift gear this time ?

good work, as usual...

Expect to pay at least 500€ for a *working* Daytona USA twin. Don't go for more than 700€ ... but of course, if this game it on your 'must have' list and the condition of the game is very good, it's up to you

...but once again, there's no real quotation on arcade games... so the price is between 0€ (something we can be very lucky) to .... hum ... a lot of money $:-\$ So many factors

Well, I'm already able the hack the shit gear up/down electronic signals from the XBOX hardware, but the original Daytona panel has a 4 gears box (with 3 switches), with no middle position

. It would require to change it into a 'UP/DOWN' gear box (the one from an original OutRun2 panel for example).

So I'm doing the same thing than the cab #1. It'll use the shift gear for the usual up/down controls, inside the game menu for example.
Check this video, at approx 30 seconds from the start

Let's put back the gear box :

Time to hack the pedals... Ouch ... Dirty

Done

No more surprise so far ... Working perfectly, like the first cab'

Of course the pedals need to be cleaned
