Hi there, I have a problem and really hope someone can help me, otherwise I threw away a lot of money...:cry:
I have a Initial D cab and always wanted to play SEGA Rally 3, but have no space for more cabs.
So, after some years I now had the chance and bought a Europe R with both games. I knew I needed the UK/USB - I/O, and bought that too. Thought that´s it...but that I/O has other plugs. Look similar on photos, but are different.
In every thread I saw I needed the UK I/O, but nowhere a comment that it has other plugs, I'm completely lost now.
So, can someone help me? Is there a adapter or something like that?
Or just the plug-types/names and a wiring diagram, then I could make one on my own, as I´m pretty sure the wiring is the same.
Hope someone can help me, I was so glad I finally could play SEGA Rally (and GRID, as many people say it is even bestter), and now just sadness.

I don’t have much experience with racing games more fighting games I/O boards but if you post some pictures of I/O board on here we try at least figure out what type it is :)

The USB I/O in the SR3 has smaller 50 Pin JST Connector
Conversion cables could be made but what about monitor and FFB

The Power is wired different with 12v and 5v

Also Monitor could be an issue with Euro R games being widescreen if you have standard Initial D CRT as its very low Res VGA and you won't get any FFB

Interesting on this I/O it uses a different RA connector too.

How many pins are on the small connector if you don’t mind me asking? 🙂

Many thanks

Feedback on Grid will be fine on Initial D4/5/6/7/8 cabinet, just use serial port.

Sega Rally 3 feedback will also work with my inpout32 to Lind FFB wrapper (as will Showdown/Ford Racing/Daytona 3) - I love Rally 3, but the god damn happ feedback was awful on rally 3 - probably the worst from all the driving games I've messed around with.

The I/O will always be a problem, there was a guy in Spain who used to make Sega USB I/O with the same pinouts/connectors as the JVS version, and they could be just drop in, but sadly I don't think he makes them anymore. Made in Europe by Obi Wan - I have one I use on my test rig.

Wow so many replies, thank you very much. I have the common JVS Type 3 and another USB-I/O than on the photo above, wich also has a "normal" USB connector. I know the FFB works, I saw a photo with all atachments needed, all was the same wih my Initial D except the EuropeR and the USB-I/O. I have a Initial D 8, so Monitor is no problem too. Sadly I didn´t download it, and now I can´t find it anymore. I can make a photo of my UK-I/O the next days, but the connectors are the same, so I think it is not really necessary?
Thank you for the diagram. I think I will make a conversion cable, if such a cable does not exist- does anybody know where I can get the plugs?
Thank you all, Mitch.
