*Ahem* Let me re-compose myself...

There is no chance of the PSP running the Model 2 version of Daytona USA. It doesn't even work on the PC version of MAME. Model 2 is quite beefy for the PSP to emulate as it has to emulate using no hardware acceleration for the 3D. Virtua Fighter 2 is also Model 2.

Sega Model 2 hardware

damn that sucks, its my favorite arcade game

then is there a way to convert it to something else and use it on a different rom/iso emulator???

No. As far as I remember, Daytona USA is running on Model 2A hardware, which has an undocumented chip (some sort of math processor), so don't expect it to be emulated anytime soon. It's been at a standstill for a couple of years.

edit: There's the Sega Saturn version, which also sucks donkey balls and the Saturn is a beast of a system to emulate, tough luck there. Theres also the PC version, which ...sucks donkey balls. Your best chance is a port from Sega. Which probably won't happen, the PSP doesnt need any more racers.
