Looking for some advice on my Initial D.
I bought it not working, only one side of a formerly 2 player setup. I got it up and running fine for a while. The steering was always a little off, it would be a little jumpy when selecting a car make - kind of moving back and forth between two options on its own. It wasn't bad enough to affect driving in game though. However, after a few game crashes due to a faulty gpu fan on the mobo, the steering has now become extra jumpy. It's kind of jerking all over while trying to select a car make or select a stage to race. And when the race starts I can see the front tires of my car jerking left and right very subtly, i can feel the slight vibration from it in the wheel. It's bad enough now to have a negative affect on driving in game.
I've replaced the 5k steering pot, which didn't help. Do I need to look into the feedback motor as well, or is something else at fault here? I've switched I/0 boards with my Crackin Dj arcade, both seem fine. Is the steering pcb messed up maybe? When I look at input in test mode the steering, brake, and gas volume readings are moving back and forth a bit in value. I'm not sure if that's normal.
I'm open to any help or suggestions. Love the game just getting frustrated with sinking more money into it.
