I picked up a component cable adapter for my Elgato HD video capture device on eBay! Finally, I've been able to do some far better quality 480p HD video capture of the Japanese bonus stages in Outrun 2 running on my softmodded original Xbox. This is a big step up from the blurry low res mess I used to get when I was capturing gameplay with the shitty composite cable cable device I used to use, back when I was using an RCA/SCART cable before upgrading to Component.

The Japanese version of Outrun 2 on the Xbox is more accurate to the arcade original version of Daytona USA 2: Power Edition's Challenge course. There are some significant differences between this version and the western version.

The game starts on the right section of the track in the Japanese game. In the Western one it starts further back than Daytona USA 2 did. Starting further back on the track is less accurate to the arcade version, but it does make it easier to tackle the first proper corner you get to, because in the JPN version you don't have enough run up to get up to speed to initiate a proper full speed gear drift if you're using manual.

The bunki is covered over as you move from the first part (Joypolis 2020 Amusement Park - advanced) to the second part (Virtua City expert), like in the arcade version of Daytona USA 2. In the western game is just looks like a regular Outrun 2 bunki. This is a big, big improvement.

You come out of the bunki in the right area in the JPN version (which actually makes it much harder), than you did in the western game. The western game brings you out into a slightly different, earlier part of Virtua city, which is a little easier to navigate... this actually means that although the JPN version is more arcade accurate, you do actually get more bang for your buck as far as the Daytona 2 expert stage goes in the western game, including the big U turn at the end of it by the Great Central Station.
