Sega Daytona USA - to other driving games

OldFoo · Post by **OldFoo** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 8:00 pm

I have a 3rd Sega Daytona USA cabinet. It has a bad main board.

Instead of getting the main-board fixed I am wondering if I can convert the cabinet to a different driving game.

I would like to make it into a Crazy Taxi or Emergency Call Ambulance.

I am guessing I would need a "Sega I/O Board 837-13551" (which I have out of a HOD2).

Is this possible or would it be such a drastic amount of work that it would be better to just find a Crazy Taxi?

Can be done but Lots of work, you need way more then just the Jvs i/o.

You need complete jvs wiring, a drive board for CT (else no FF), a jvs or model 3 forcefeedback unit, also your monitor will only be able to display 15khz as a daytona monitor only does 15-24 khz ingeneral. You need a psu suitable for jvs (or mod the existing one).

Just plugging in another model 2 game also is alot of work (Sega Rally for instance) as for starters the wiring is COMPLETELY different

I have 2 extra monitors that are 15/24 switchable. I also may be able to get a High Res monitor into the cabinet.

I have several Naomi PSU units.

So I would still need wiring harness or I would have to build one (not a lot of fun but doable)

I forgot about the FF board. I would need to obtain one of those as well.

Like Jiggy says, this is no easy job though I've never actually tried it. SkiDog on here was selling the guts of an iD cab so maybe have a look there for the wiring - no ff board required for CT as the game doesn't support ff (not officially anyway).

Good luck and report back if you give it a try
