Daytona Championship USA NSE

Bring the speedway home.

ControlsCabinet inputs

Wheel, accelerator, brake, Shift up/down, four view controls, Start, coins and operator controls. VR 4 uses the existing Tunes binding.

Force feedbackSupported

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 & lightingEUROPA 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.
