![]() ![]() So the experience won't be always 100% perfect and authentic, but this will give you the opportunity to play way more games than what a dedicated cabinet can generally offer. Or another example is if you have a cabinet that only has two pedals while you want to play one of the rare games that requires having three. The same some games have commands that can be triggered directly from the wheel (turbo, dash, drift, etc), if you don't have such buttons you may end up having to use buttons available somewhere else. If you have a cabinet that only has two buttons available and the game requires more than that to perfectly enjoy the experience then you won't unless you make some modifications on your panel to add these buttons. The very nature of racing arcade cabinet will necessarily make things not 100% perfect. The solution provided by the Gamoover community is really great, but there are no magic. Thank you and hope this will help the community. Hence I will also reserve the next ten answers (I guess this should be large) to have enough room to detail my experience (including pictures) and I will delete the unused reserved messages at the end if they ended up being unnecessary.įeel free to ask any questions while I write the "tutorial" or even after so that I can add more needed details if necessary. I'll try to detail my experience as much as possible, and I will come edit my original messages while progressing on the upgrade on my cabinet but also to include answers to some questions that may be asked in this thread so that it stays a simple reading experience for someone that would just start looking at that thread. I will detail here, my experience including who to contact, where to get the different necessary hardware, what they are meant and designed for, what I paid for and what I received, what I had to do in the case of my racing arcade cabinet (Initial D 8 - Infinity Stage) that is to say the different steps including design flaws I've seen or issues I encountered and how I tackled them, and of course, finally, what was the result. The hardware and its associated software solutions can be already used in large distinct use cases which I will mention but not necessarily detail them all. The project started about a year ago and has shown significant progresses that I wanted to create this thread as a step by step tutorial illustrated with my very own experience so that it could be shared to a larger community of users (as of today there is not a single piece of information available in English and even in French it is very scattered). This thread is to detail my experience using some hardware and software made by a French arcade community named "Gamoover" which is available on their forum and that would allow Sega arcade cabinets owners to upgrade them in a non-disruptive manner so that they become somehow universal. ![]()
