Midway Rally-X board pinouts being the exact same as the Namco New Rally-X boards. I imported a Namco New Rally-X board from Brazil and was super antsy to plug in the edge connector for fear of sending 12v into some Namco customs or something.
Saw the board on eBay about a month ago and knew I had to have it. Played a lot of New Rally-X on the Namco Museum compilation on the PS1 when I was like 5-8 years old. So I figured I'd have the Midway Rally-X board and Namco New Rally-X board in the same cabinet but was going through all the trouble of going down the rabbit hole and realized I could just plug the thing into either board. I was certain pre-JAMMA that Midway did something weird to the pinout or something after acquiring the license. So I watched @GothGirl's Rally-X video again from a few years ago and realized "wait…she just…she just plugs up either one?!"
TLDR I love when things are easy sometimes. Plus I'm really happy to have a dedicated Namco New Rally-X board.
