Turbo Out Run upright & cockpit

[DarthNuno]

18th october 2005

Well, a nice deal... this time : 2 arcade games, the same games, but in different version :

Sega's Turbo Out Run cockpit & upright version

... Well, this is a uncommon roadtrip    

Because I didn't participate      

This roadtrip is done by ... my wife & my mother with his husband          

Ok, here's the upright version :



And the cockipt version :



... Nice, a guy is cleaning the cockpit



Ok, Freddy ( my mother's husband ) will discover the two 'items' I've asked him to bring me back      



... my mother is watching...    



The loading :

















Ok, it's time to give the €€€



I've no more empty space at home right now, and the gaming room is not finished yet, so ...  the two games is guarded by Sam, friend of mine -of course- & great arcade game lover too  

This is Sam    :



Well, not a good Out Run player        :



See an out run inside an out run        



Now, I'm trying the thing  



Ok, it's running fine... Let's check the other one :



Yeeeaaawww



Sam's turn...



Turbo Out Run ManiaaaaaAAAAA        





The cockpit has a great shape, isn't it ?



... also like the Red Ferrari  



the 'identity cart' for the cockpit'  



... and the SN for the upright :



Hey, cool, that's why the Bass was so great when playing the cockpit version... a subwoofer !



Inside the cockpit :



... it looks like a lot of humans played that game    



and inside the upright, yeah   The originalgame & monitor  manual are there  



A lot of dust, as usual...



Ok, the next step is to bring them back at home, once the gaming room will be ready

OUTRUN..best driving game of the 16 bit area!!
TURBO OUTRUN..hey drive an F40..yeahhh!!!and beat that shitty porsche!!!
OUTRUNNERS..choose from about 10 different drivers and their cars..very funny game!!    
OUTRUN  2...a follow up of the best arcade racer..good but not that good

If you ever see an racer from sega,give it a go,you won't regret it.

Hey Codex, thanks.. and welcome back  

[Codex]

Hi DarthNuno,

Thx.

Let's try it in english...   , I remember back in the days playing OutRun on the upright version, then OutRun on my Game Gear, I spend a lot of time on that game. Outrun was one of my favorites "racing game".

The Playstation 2, "Sega Agees 2500 Series vol. 13 - Outrun" is very nice too, it's a kind of "remasterised" version of OutRun and it incluedes the original version too... Sega Agees 2500 Series vol. 13 - Outrun was only released in Japan, there is no PAL version of this game. And here we go with some pictures:

OutRun 2 for Xbox is awesome too... very very nice, like the arcade version, with little games...

I have the chance to have both consoles, PS2 & Xbox to play Outrun...

See yaa!

"Sega Agees 2500 Series vol. 13 - Outrun"

Thanks for these informations Codex  

This vol.13 sounds very interessting, even if I can play Out Run with Mame    
Anyway I'm curious to play the Enhanced version of Out Run    

I guess I'll put an Xbox in the Turbo OutRun cockipt, in order to try Out Run II  

[Codex]

Hi,

De rien.

Do you have an Xbox too?! Sounds interesting... You can do a lot with, run some emus (MameOx, Kawa-X), run movies (.avi, .mpeg, .divx etc...) with Xbmc and of course play some cool arcade games...

My Turbo Out Run pcb is now... dead  

...and I don't like to see an unused cab inside my lair  

So, let's bring back from death that cockpit cab'  

A racing cab' has analog controls... let's give a try to the ULTIMARC's A-PAC :



OK, it's very easy  

Now I need an ULTIMARC's Arcade VGA 2, in order to use a computer on a real arcade monitor or TV...

Here's some test with my old Commodore Amiga Monitor :



Let's remove the dead Turbo Out Run pcb...



...and check If there's place enough to put PC hardware inside...



It's fine ! Now let's test on the original arcade monitor...



OK, great  

Now, the most boring part... check all the wires... and name them  



A view of a pot' :



...what a mess ...



Ok, now that cab can play original Out Run & Turbo Out Run... but what about the latest Out Run released in Arcade ? Yes I'm talking about ... OUT RUN 2          

It should be possible because the engine of this cab is now... a computer  
Ok, but for running the latest SEGA driving game, I really need a more powerfull processor... let's try an AMD Athlon 2,4GHz processor...



By the way, this is the first time i'm doing some works on that cockpit... and I never cleaned it    Ok, let's do that now :



...once the monitor is removed, I have now access to pedals pots :



...and I'll be able to clean the screen too...



Done        Now... it's playing time      



So, that cab play now :

Out Run, Turbo Out Run... and Out Run 2006 : Coast to Coast      

But, better than words, check out this video :

Like the work on the Turbo Cockpit

I've just won one of these, is it easy to get the monitor section off and the roof part, I want to try and get it in my Ford S-Max to save hiring a van, I think with those parts off I would fit

Cheers

Hi Bods,

Congrats for your new cab  
Removing the top  is easy, the monitor too... but  it can take some times (maybe 20 minutes if I remember well)

Have fun ... and don't forget to post the roadtrip    

[arcadefever]

never saw that topic before   nice RT

[Bods]

Thanks

I am going to collect this weekend coming, I hope I get the monitor off ok and it fits in my car

I shall try and remember my Camera

Nothing special... just water + soap, and finishing with clear water
