Awesome!based on my notes, according to the service manuals for each of these games (so it's possible they're incorrect): IT's also possible different cab variants use different I/OsHow many JVS drivers even use a Type 1 I/O?
Sega JVS I/O Type 1: 837-13551-92
Hikaru - Star Wars Arcade Racer
NAOMI - Jambo Safari
NAOMI2 - Club Kart
NAOMI2 - Initial D Arcade Stage 1
NAOMI2 - Initial D Arcade Stage 2
NAOMI2 - Initial D Arcade Stage 3
NAOMI2 - Kings of Route 66
NAOMI2 - Wild Riders
Chihiro - Outrun 2
Sega JVS to JAMMA I/O: 838-13683-02
Hikaru - NASCAR Arcade
NAOMI - Crazy Taxi
Sega JVS I/O Type 2: 837-13844-02
NAOMI - F355 Challenge
NAOMI - F355 Challenge 2
NAOMI - Wave Runner GP
TriForce - F-Zero AX
Sega JVS I/O Type 1.5: 837-14505
Lindbergh - Outrun 2 Special Tours
Sega JVS I/O Type 3: 837-14572
Lindbergh - Hummer
RingWide - Sega Racing Classic
So an ultimate solution would accommodate connectors from a Type 2, but not sure if I want to have to manage that.
As far as the Type 1's go:
Hikaru - Star Wars Arcade Racer (probably a bad candidate for other games - not worth matching up wiring in my opinion)
NAOMI - Jambo Safari (checked off the list - compatible with OR2 wiring - though lacking a couple of lamp outputs)
NAOMI2 - Club Kart (checked off the list - compatible with OR2 wiring - no shifter, probably a bad candidate without modifications)
NAOMI2 - Initial D Arcade Stage 1 (checked off the list - compatible with OR2 wiring)
NAOMI2 - Initial D Arcade Stage 2 (checked off the list - compatible with OR2 wiring)
NAOMI2 - Initial D Arcade Stage 3 (checked off the list - compatible with OR2 wiring)
NAOMI2 - Kings of Route 66 (probably a bad candidate for other games - not worth matching up wiring in my opinion)
NAOMI2 - Wild Riders (probably a bad candidate for other games - not worth matching up wiring in my opinion)
Chihiro - Outrun 2 (check!)
So there are 2 scenarios I can think of, depending on the cab you have:
1. You have a decent, compatible driving cab and want to play as many drivers as possible, with maybe the potential to have some kind of way to casually play the few other non-standard racing games, like maybe Wild Riders or Wave Runner, in your cab. I can see a valid case for trying to remap controls to work with these games. If you already have the hardware and enough analog controls to make these games playable, why not?
2. You have a non-standard cab, like Wild Riders or Wave Runner. Are you really going to seriously get into trying to boot standard driving games in your cab? I can imagine it would be a novel thing to boot up once in a while, but should i really put effort into accommodating for those cabs?
As far as Type 3's go, am i correct that the 60-pin and 26-pin connectors are pin for pin compatible with Type 1? It looks like all they have in addition is an extra output connector, and I have hard time imagining many drivers needing that many outputs beyond the 6 present in the 60-pin connector.
