Sega Model 3 at Home

Post by Blades »

Hello,

Long time lurker here. I want to bring a Model 3 game home, specifically Sega Super GT. The emulators are lacking and the timing is very off.

I don't know what this could possibly entail. What would I need at a minimum?

Hi,
Scud Race (Super GT) is lacking on supermodel?
I modified a Scud Race cabinet based on this Emulator, in my opinion the Game runs perfect, throught the Widescreen and Full HD Option it even Looks 10x better than the original. The only compromise is, that linking is (atm) not possible.
I have the Scud Race original Gameboard at home, too.

Monitor that supports 24kHz or an upscaler that does
Power Supply that supports 3.3v, 5v, 12v
Some kind of IO interface for the controls - both digital and analog
Analog Steering Wheel
4 Gear Shifter with 3 Switches
Analog Pedals

I made my own setup to play at home that is universal across all of my driving PCBs with multiple gear shifters for different publishers' standards.

This is perfect. How much did all that run you?

Also, what is the game itself? Is it a board? I have no idea.

Supermodel runs too fast, and the music plays too slow. This can be checked with a stopwatch and the original soundtrack.

The steering wheel and pedals are XBOX 360 ones. They cost me something like $100 back in the day, not sure how much it would cost now but you need the older models which actually use analog pots.

The gear shifter is an original from a Daytona USA cabinet, you will have to look on eBay for it but probably $50+.

Mod work was done by my wife.

The Model 3 PCB is usually in a large metal shield case. Scud Race uses an additional sound board in addition to this. As someone else posted, I do not recommend starting with this game. You need a high level of knowledge to understand everything and get it working.

I have no interest in other arcade games. This is the only one.

What kind of mod work was necessary?

You might be better off actually buying the cab entirely, instead of the boardset and attempting to mod home controls for it, especially if you don't have any experience doing anything similar. Would you have room for the upright version? Although I've never seen a US Super GT upright, so if it was never released that way where you are, that might not be feasible.

I just have no interest in having a giant cab.

Thank you all.

Hello everyone.

I still haven't been able to figure out what I need. According to the linked thread, the first thing I should get is a PCB.

If that's right, where can I look for one?

From that thread, I think I will also need:

-Power Unit
-Console Steering Wheel

How can I get the video and audio signal from the board? It seems that in the thread, the person isn't using a converter.

Thanks all.

It really doesn't seem like you've understood what people have told you in this thread. Go download the game Manual and if you can't figure out the wiring schematic, stop now.

Power you can probably convert an ATX PSU, video is via a VGA type connector, but it outputs at 25khz, so you need a monitor that will handle that, or some sort of scaler to up to VGA or down to 15khz.

Audio is line out, so needs to go via a stereo amplifier.

Main thing is you need to build a wiring loom and you'll need a load of NH connectors and a decent wiring diagram.

As people say, it's not as plug & play as JAMMA, buy certainly not impossible, especially if you're good at soldering.
