Nice to see you do Model 2 attract modes from real hardware. Have you hooked up or modded any pots based wheels to play this one, or do you have an actual SR1995 cabinet? I know it won't play correctly in an SR2 cabinet as it's different feedback, plus Model 2A is an absolute picky board when it comes to power (way more pickier than Model 2B and Cs). Outside the PS2 port, having the original PCB is actually the best way to play some of these Model 2A games, as the current emulation suffers from AI bugs within the CPU. Likewise with Manx TT Superbike.

I did buy a Sega Rally twin some years ago from an Arcade operator, I paid him for the cabinet and I said I'd collect it at a later date. But I had no space and I took longer than expected to collect the cabinet. After a while the Operator sold the cabinet to someone else as he also needed the space, but, he gave me quite a few things as compensation and sold me a twin Daytona cabinet for a great price. I made sure to collect the Daytona USA asap though! lol A year or two later I bought the whole insides of a single Sega Rally cabinet that was parted out from a twin, I bought it from a friend on a UK arcade message forum. I haven't tinkered with the hardware much, all I've done is make a custom power loom that connects to a Lindbergh PSU. I've not encountered any issues whilst powering the Model 2 2A stack with the Lindbergh PSU, it only uses 5v so a good PSU with a strong adjustable 5v rail is required, otherwise yes, if you use a substandard non voltage adjustable PSU you will encounter issues. I may try and get the hardware running with the original FFB at some point, but not for a while. I have so many projects to do and the Sega Rally is not at the top of my list. I'm sure I've seen someone use a Sega Dreamcast Race Controller with a custom gear change PCB that allows you to use the buttons on the Race Controller as a sequential shifter. Not sure where I've seen that, maybe it was a seller on Yahoo Auctions Japan, I can't remember. Thanks.

Yes, I have done that, interfacing my own wheel with the gear change PCB. The Upright Sega Rally cabinet made by Deith Leisure had an official one. I have two of them that I assembled myself; nem on Arcade Projects has them shared. One is in my Japanese Le Mans 24 1p cabinet, which actually has a Model 3 drive board so it's easy to play 4-speed Sega games with an up-down shifter! And you can do it without cutting the loom. :) Two downsides: there is no neutral, and I have found Scud Race will software-lock itself if you go ridiculously crazy with the gears (the game actually throws a Data Access Exception error when a certain combination of switches is pressed), but Daytona 2 is absolutely flawless with the PCB. I would eventually like to run my Sega Rally 2A stack inside an Arcade1Up, possibly by gutting the Fast & Furious version and running a video converter to the monitor, on top of wiring the pots and buttons directly to the motherboard. It should theoretically be doable since controls are all run by JST connectors. I do like the force feedback but the spring center feedback is also a nice touch for people like me who go for fast lap times. Model 3 is same pinout, only force feedback is different and obviously a 3.3v power supply
