Sega Racer

Not a dedicated machine but a conversion which I’ve just finished revamping.
Original conversion from a Cruis’ USA cab had an Arcade CRT in it and played MAME, SM2 & 3 games.
The monitor went pop unfortunately though, so I went with an LED for reliability. It now just plays more modern Teknoparrot racing games.

That’s cool man ..
😁👍…
I have tecknoparrt on a crt at moment and loving it ..
About to sort my sega multi r-tuned with multi ffb from aganyte

Thanks … yea TP runs some great games. How do they look on a CRT?
Good luck with the project, sounds decent 👌

Yeh decent on a crt ..
Decent on lcd too ..
these Lindbergh games go up pretty hi on the Rez but I’m enjoying 1024 x740 vga crt.
Out run
Initial D8 infinity
Sega rally 3
And ford racing ( sierra cosworth is cool )

I’m finding that if I tweak ffb in initial d / game / ffb gui

It seems to effect my other games ffb settings also.

Like the other day initial d was fine .
But tonight ffb was hard to figure out for initial D.
It kept pulling way to strong ?

Pm me if you wamt
To share your ffb setting visa versa ..

Are you using Logitech steering ?

 

[Jolly-west]

Looks great 🤩 … I do miss my old Arcade CRT’s tbh but just became too unreliable.
I use the original Happ Active Steering assembly with a Immersion Touchsense FFB PCB (Global VR racers, NFS etc..)
It uses its own immersion software in the drivers for gain, damper, centre spring etc… settings.
I am using the FFBPlugin as well, but have gain settings quite low on most games as it’s too much. Try lowering the Global Force setting in FFBPlugin settings if it’s too strong.
Not sure why changing your settings in one game is effecting another though. Might have something to do with the Logitech software.
Are you on the TP discord?

 

[Retroman839]

Do you subscribe to get the ffb pluggin ?

Tp discord yes
I did for JB software for light gun

 

[Jolly-west]

I don’t have a TP subscription, that’s why I use FFBplugin.
FFBblaster is the newer subscription based FFB TP service, with more supported games and an improved fully reworked system.
Best place to ask for help is definitely on the TP discord, it has the FFB help channels towards the bottom of it.

Cool I’m going to check it out
But I’m actually getting ready to do my r tuned twin with ffb multi pcb from Seb & aganyte gamoover.com

Have you still got this cab @Jolly-west or do I remember seeing someone else with it now?
Was looking at your work on it with the Immersion Boards but I noticed the one you put in this had a lot more stuff on it and I'm wondering if I can at least add a chip and some resistors to this Immersion board I got so can have separate pedals but could do with info on the resisters
Cheers

 

[Jolly-west]

Yea I’ve still got it.
I didn’t realise at the time but I got lucky with my boards as they came fully populated, so I’ve never had to add anything to them.
Access to mine isn’t great unfortunately, especially as the boards are on top of each other.
I think you can add components to the boards, but not sure what tbh, there seems to be a lot of different versions out there.
Here’s a BYOAC page about them from Badmouth;

The picture on your page is pretty good but can't quite see the resistors numbers, I see one guy was saying he added the missing LM324 and R22/R72 but doesn't say what resisters he fitted not clear it was working. in the setup it already shows separate pedals indicating firmware is ready and the data from middle pin of pot goes to LM324 so deffo won't work without that but how many resistors are needed to make it work, the 2 mentioned of a few more

I have the later all in one pcb fully populated which goes down similar path as they have 3 inputs but connection for 4th (clutch) but unlike these showing 3 analogue inputs they do already show 4 so I think a different firmware version is all thats needed

its just that small area around infront of the 2 caps and LM324 I could do with a really good photo of as without seperate pedals it's not working on some emulators
From the bigger Photo i downloaded I think I can work out R22 and R72 as i can make out some and just about make out others and on my pcb confirms i'm right
Can see R85 is 104 and confirms that on mine
R3 is 000 which mine is
R83 is 104
R10 is 103 which match to mine
So R72 looks like it says 105 and it's yellow numbers and on mine there R16/R70 are 105 in yellow
I think R22 is 243 and R18/R14 are 243 on mine

Mine doesn't have R71 or R24 but it does have 1 on R25

 

[Jolly-west]

Nice work to figure all that out.
I’ll take a close up photo of that area around the caps tonight and post it here.

I'm going to try it like the other guy on arcade controls site, found a LM324 on old pc motherboard, just got an smd 105 off a old controller board from work and found a 243 smd on another scrap board so just doing resistors now and i'll test it, those values go to same pins on other LM324 so they are correct

 

[Bods]

It only flippin works with a pot connected to separate accelerator now
was hoping though it would let you switch between combined and separate in game board settings but doesn't, just wondering if yours would and maybe more resistors would work or maybe they just don't. could use relay and switch to swap between them but i'll test games out with them separate first as teknoparrot wouldn't play ball with it combined gas/brake

 

[Jolly-west]

Hopefully the photos attached show the resistor values you need.
I’ve also added a photo of the immersion software, where I choose to operate pedals separately.
All the racing games in TP work as they should with this checked.
Did you use the immersion driver software that is attached to the BYOAC link I posted above?

 

[Bods]

Thanks for that matey, it's a shame the photos shrink in size, can just about make them out but it's working perfectly with these bits added anyway so you're other photo was big help :0)
