Hi all

I am trying to connect an 8 player Daytona USA 2 PE plus live monitor. So in total 9 boards. After all is connected and powered on they successfully connect and show the message to have 8 seats available for play. Few seconds later the connection gets interrupted, all go back to menu screen and try to connect again.

My first try was to run them separate with 4-5 players what was working fine on all machines. So general boards and cables seem ok on all.

After couple hours of swapping boards, cables, connections, etc I noticed all works fine if up to 7 boards connected. As soon as number 8 is added the issue starts. It doesn't matters which 7 are connected to work fine so the issue seems not related to a single machine.

So thought may total cable length is an issue but same issue happens with shorter cables by connecting boards directly to each other instead of going through backside of cab.

As far as I know Daytona USA 2 supports up to 16 players.

Maybe someone else did run into a similar issue already or has an idea why it does not let me connect more than 7?
