Rigged up Naomi 2/Initial D3 in my NASCAR Deluxe cab.

So I've had a NASCAR Deluxe for about a year and while it's neat, having one cab that is that huge which can only run one game is kind of weak. Sooo, I studied the NASCAR/Initial D wiring and figured it wouldn't be too hard to get Initial D (and other Naomi 1/2 racing games) going in the NASCAR cab. First I got an Initial D complete wiring harness off Ebay, pulled the needed wiring, then nabbed a mini driver board off Ebay (40 bucks, not too bad). I swapped out the NASCAR driver board for the Initial D-type mini driver board, added an interface board from an Initial D, wired it all up, turned it on, and yaaaay, it works. I'll rig up the up/down shifter to the 1st/2nd gear. The biggest hassle was the 6 pin wiring harness that runs from the Naomi 2 to the mini driver board, I just bought male/female molex connectors and made a 4 foot extension for that harness. It'll be cool to try other Naomi 1/2 games in the cab.
