I recently picked up a couple of drivers after a bit of a road trip... one is a Cruising Exotica and the other a Cart Fury. Both were non-operational when I picked them up.

Getting the machines home and a chance to poke through them what I determined was:

(1) The Cart Fury monitor chassis was bad. The flyback is shot.
(2) I was told the Exotica's monitor worked but needed a rebuild... after moving the Exotica's chassis to the Cart Fury (both use the same Neotec monitor) it was a pleasure to see the chassis worked great ... no rebuild necessary.
(3) The power supplies on both machines were shot. The Cart Fury PS was completely dead doing "nothing"... not even the tiny bump of the fan you can oftentimes see with dead ATX style PS's... the Exotica PS did put out voltages but they were very iffy... and would oftentimes just shut down.
(4) Unfortunately... the Exotica PCB is dead... one of the non-repairable/replaceable chips that controls the graphics is bad. :(

Well... at least that gave me a good excuse to pull the Exotica monitor chassis to use for the Cart Fury. After getting a new Power Supply and installing the working chassis, Cart Fury is up and running. I have a cap kit, flyback and HOT coming for the Neotec... I have a power supply for it... and I purchased a working PCB. I think I may drill a hole in the door and install an 80MM fan blowing at the PCB where the heatsinked chip that went bad in my current PCB is located...

Anyway... without further ado...

BTW... the marquee is cracked... anyone know who may have this marquee image? I can't find it on the GameonGrafix site...
 
Got to love driving games! Someday I hope to add one to our collection, Nice looking game you just got! I can see many hours racing happening. :)
 
Loving that Cart Fury! Yours looks to be very nice condition too. I have yet to play that title, but have always wanted to. What's the handling like? Is it more arcade or sim?
 
It's in decent shape... for being a routed game. It's by no means perfect though. It plays nice. The gameplay is decidedly arcade, though there is a simulation mode that makes things a little more "sensitive". That said, open wheel cars are just about destroyed when they make contact with the wall... or one another... no matter how light... not the case with the game.

:)

The "boost" button is what makes the game. Your boost is replenished each lap, but if you pull the lap under a certain time you get a super boost which vibrates the screen and the wheel and shoots flames out of your "tread".... it's a much better "shake" than the Outrun shake...the vibrating screen ads too it.

There are a few "short cuts"... through the pits, etc... but nothing like Rush The Rock.

There are a few times you become airborne on some tracks. And there are a bunch of tracks (17 in all I think it is)....

It has a hard drive... I'm going to likely look in to a CF card replacement (like my Rush The Rock)... I don't much dig hard drives... especially 12 year old ones... I wonder how hard it would be to make an exact copy of the HD and run a new HD in the cab... I have an 80GB drive here I could use (new)...if it'll even take an 80GB drive.

Sounds like fun! CART was my second favorite racing series BITD, (F1 is king). I even owned some stock in the series. And I still HATE Tony George, he is a true putz.
I'd do the CF card upgrade too.
 
If you do the CF drive on cart fury , let us know. Im curious to see if CF will work on that game. That system is hit or miss, I cant get CF to work on 2049, but it does work on Blitz/showtime. I dont have a cart Fury to try it on. I never tried on road burners either.

Hmmm... I'll update this thread when I know if it'll work or not.
 
If I had one bitch it would be that there seems to be no way to set the number of laps. I'd love to set the number of laps about 4x of what stock is...
 
That would be awesome...

Please let me know.

Thanks!

well I have one, but i think it is for the deluxe version. there is a slight crease in it. If you can use it, You can have it for $15 shipped (that covers shipping and a Chinese lunch). it is nos, but flawed with that crease.

If you can't use it, try Mike over at Arcade Services ([email protected]). He's got a buttload of Midway/Atari stuff.

Yeah... that is CLOSE... but not quite... I am sure that is for the deluxe model.

:(

Bummer... thanks for the offer though... I'd have been all over it if it would fit.

I'll give Mike a try.

Thanks!
