Im about to pickup a Cruis'n USA and was wondering if I could swap out Cruis'n world and Exotica boards.
 
just from looking at them I'd say that they use the same controls and buttons. Also all three are Jamma boards and those are easy to swap.

I have no experience doing this but usually when something is Jamma the only issues you have are unique control schemes.
 
USA and World are direct board swaps: Single board, ... Piece 'O Cake.

Exotica is a WHOLE other matter.

There an Exotica upgrade kit that will convert a USA cab,
but it has several key additional components.

For one thing I believe the driver/steering board is different,
and the wiring harness needs several additional power lines.

The monitor however is the same for all 3 games.

You can run the "Jamma portion" of an Exotica PCB directly in USA cab,
but the controls (steering/pedals) won't work without the full upgrade kit.

I actually had a complete Exotica boardset ready to transplant into my USA cab,
but I was missing a few key parts, so I sold the boardset (...awhile ago...)
and upgraded to World instead.

I'd still like and Exotica one day....
