I had the same problem with my setup and I was able to find a solution but it is very strange and requires you to sacrifice player 1 controls.
With the system set up and turned on, music will play if you hold left on player one joystick. It sounds strange but for my setup, with the P1 joystick...
Just wondering if you could use some chip quick and remove the extra ram and other surface mounted components over to a working Xbox board. That might be easier with no programming necessary.
I read a brief article once somewhere that mentioned someone successfully patching the dongle to where it will skip the FF test but I couldn't come across it again.
As I'm typing this, I see another person on a different site talking about how a file located in the "START" file seems to be...
Thanks for the message. I've replied to your DM.
It took some work but I was able to figure out all of the pinouts and get the board running 100%
If possible though, it would be awesome if you could post the pinouts here or online somewhere for others who may need to get their boards running...

The thing about this board is that I cant seem to find the inputs for the joystick controls.
The game may require a "D/A Convertor" ? as it is written in the schematics to control the X...
You can handle the pitch by using an analog joystick (like a replacement one from a PS1 controller) and mount it to the steering wheel.
Using your left thumb, you can control the pitch.
I've wired this up on my own setup to use F-Zero AX
If you have some good clear pictures of the board (especially the motherboard top & bottom) that will help. Please post them here. The M72 hardware issue could be as simple as the ribbon cables not being securely making contact, bent pins on the bottom of the motherboard or a cut trace. Upload...
Trackball wiring Sega's 834-6180-01 I/O
I wanted to add to this thread including the trackball pinouts for the Sega 834-6180. I recently decided to make a Sega Sonic The Hedgehog arcade game and had some fun looking on the net for the pins so I decided to make up some pictures here that will...
