    Most of these arcade rigs use proprietary systems, so in many cases the easiest way to get control of them is to ditch and replace that, but of course that is often expensive.

    Years ago @Thanos provided the means to jailbreak some of these arcade rigs, but no longer does so.

    Thank you for replay. Its seems possible to access all computors inside to add movies and edit the code. I havent been able to see the movement files though

    How does simtools work, what is between the software and the actuator? I guess a controller but does the controller need to be a spesific supported type?

    Maybe simtools will work for me, but im no quite sure how the software will find the actuators

    Please see the FAQs for SimTools manual and other details: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/simtools-settings-tips-and-tricks.18/category

    SimTools needs to be able to 'communicate' with control hardware and code, in other words get information in a known format. That is the issue with proprietary systems, they don't release details on how to communicate.
