What are the differences between the original Daytona USA and Daytona USA Limited Edition? Are the boards the same? Can you link a Limited to an original?

Same exact software, just in a more compact cabinet design. Not much special about it...What are the differences between the original Daytona USA and Daytona USA Limited Edition? Are the boards the same? Can you link a Limited to an original?
Gotcha, thanks. A limited in what seams to be really nice condition poped up nearby for $300. I just wanted to make sure I could link it with other daytonas if I ever found one.Same exact software, just in a more compact cabinet design. Not much special about it...
I'd buy that. Hard to find Daytonas without a million plays on them.Gotcha, thanks. A limited in what seams to be really nice condition poped up nearby for $300. I just wanted to make sure I could link it with other daytonas if I ever found one.
I bought it, and like you said the sideart is peeling off, but I have found HQ scans and I think I can have new side art made. The wells gardner has been swapped out for a MakVision/WeiYa of some kind, currently collapsed but it is at least burn free, I should be able to get it going. The powersupply in it is also dead and not the original, I'm going to see if I have a PC power supply with high enough watts to replace it. My plan from the start was to find a twin to go with it, with daytona the more the merrier lol.The boards are the same and you can link LEs with any other cab type. I think most of these had a later rev of software that adds a Sega Saturn promotion to the attract mode. If you don't turn it off when linking with a machine that doesn't have it, it'll throw off syncing the attract screens up, but it still links fine otherwise. It can be disabled in GAME SYSTEM menu.
I personally dislike the LE cabs - they're one of the harder cabs out there to move without assistance. They also shipped with a WG monitor (a downgrade from the twin's Nanaos) and the steering wheel shaft is different than all other cab versions (twins/DX/Special) as it will only accommodate the plastic Happ wheel the shipped with. If you're a Daytona player like me then you might want the original foam rubber wheel, but if you aren't, then no loss. Lots of twins out there were converted to the Happ wheel but those still have the splined shaft that accepts the OEM wheel.
They're harder to find than twins, so if you want a linked rig, you might want to get a twin when you find one, but at $300 it's worth a buy even if it doesn't work. I usually buy these to scrap for parts to keep twins going. The boards not being under the seat means they're always clean & in great shape. LE cabs are often in fairly poor cosmetic shape, the side art likes to peel off them and the marquees usually yellow.
Shoot lol, I wish I saw this first. I ordered a different one off of arcadeshop.com friday. it said it was for daytona but it had a different connector I was just going to swap them, the one you linked was quite a bit cheaper too. Oh well live and learn.Just buy a 200W 9-pin PSU from TQ, Betson, Happ, AS or whoever for $45.
Doesn't matter where you order from since they're all made by the same company (Twinfly) in Taiwan. These work in any game with a 9-pin molex--all US-built Daytona cab types originally came with a 150W XT-style supply, but the form factor doesn't matter. These are smaller (AT-style) and will plug directly in with no hacking.

They are a direct plug-in for VR as well, if you didn't hack out the original 9-pin molex. All the US-built model 1 & 2 games use the same 9-pin molex standard of those $45 supplies. Japanese-built stuff use different [very high quality] supplies with unique wiring that should just be capped and retained. I often find I need to replace the game side's male pins in the 9-pin molex connectors as I'm seeing some decent drop across them. Tarnished pins and broken strands in the wire at the crimp.I had to get all hacktastic to replace a power supply in my virtua racing. Now I'm wondering if these are a direct drop in.
