THE CABINET EXPERIENCE
Controls, force feedback & lamps
Choose your connected board or local controls in Arcade IO, then use this game's Controls and output settings to match your cabinet.
| Controls | Cabinet inputs Wheel, accelerator, brake, Shift up/down, four view controls, Start, coins and operator controls. VR 4 uses the existing Tunes binding. |
|---|---|
| Force feedback | Supported Original shell and race forces are routed through the EUROPA interface. Configure your feedback device and verify direction in the test menu; no parallel-port card is required for the interface. |
| Lamps & lighting | EUROPA lamp outputs Original lamp channels pass through the cabinet output mapping. Select bindings that match your cabinet's Start, view and other fitted lights. |
Force feedback needs a compatible feedback device. Physical lighting needs a connected board with the appropriate outputs. Use the original game's test menu to check your mapping.
MAKE IT YOURS
Display & things to know
Use the supported NSE release and its original display setup.
- This profile targets Daytona Championship USA NSE, not the earlier Daytona arcade games.
- Launch the shell rather than the race executable directly.
