This is some of the raw footage from the making of my recent(ish) '35 Years of Outrun' mega documentary, which you can find here:

This Outrun 2 twin cabinet was a pretty awesome local find (especially as the majority of stuff in this arcade was just redemption machines), and it was great to get some real arcade footage to use in the video. And I took a LOT of video of the cabinet just running in its attract mode, just to make sure I had plenty for the documentary.

Unfortunately though, the steering was a bit knackered on both sides - way too loose and no centering motor & no ffb. The steering was so loose it actually made trying to select the right car really tricky... The brake pedal (on both sides) was weird too. It worked, but it was just like a solid block that didn't actually move at all. It didn't even have a little bit of up and down 'give' like an arcade button, you just touched your foot on it and the brakes happened.

I was also trying to play one handed which didn't help. The CRTs had also been swapped out for LCD monitors that were in the wrong aspect ratio. Still great to see one of these in the wild again though. It's been a looooong time...

There might be a bit of spicy language in places in this...
