I have a working Hard Drivin sit down cab. Im looking to hook up my Cruisin USA board to this cabinet. Aside form some creative wiring, will the controls(steering wheel, shifter, gas, brake)swap over from the hard drivin to the Cruisin game?
 
Feedback wont work, I dont think steering will work right either, brake wont work unless the machine has been modified with a switch or a pot and last but not least the shifter wont work either.

May as well not do it.

Yeah, but the feedback doesnt work any way. Its a beater machine, Im just trying to figure out if I can somehow wire both games into the same cabinet, and use the same controls for both games.

All I really want is the gas and steering, and a start button! SInce I already have the medium res monitor in the cabinet, I thought it would be easy this way.

I didnt know if the older parts from hard drivin would transfer over to a modern board like the Cruisin USA.
 
I think that the steering pot on the HD is 100k or 10k or 10 turn, something along those lines. Cruisin uses a 5k 270 degree pot so both games wont play well with the same controls. The only things that will work is the monitor, the gas pedal and the switches.

Theres also the AC voltage requirements of Cruisin for the audio amps that you cant supply from the HD harness.

Good point.

I could always use my pole position cab and replace everything with Cruisin parts, too. SInce Pole Position is on the fritz. Or I could just search for an empty Cruisin cabinet
 
The steering assy in Pole wont work with Cruisin either. You'll also need a monitor and theres still the AC power supply issue for the sound section of the Cruisin board.
 
YEs, I realize that. I mean just using the cabinet for the sake of having a driving cabinet. I can replace whatever doesnt work with Cruisin parts. I just need the right pots and a steering unit. I have a switching power supply for the board. I kinda figured I wouldnt be able to do a plug and play with the cabs that I have.
 
The power supply that I'm reffering to is actually a 12-0-12 AC transformer or 6-0-6, I dont recall which. It supplies AC voltage to the audio amplifiers on the logic board. I suppose you could wire it to 12VDC if it is 12-0-12.
