CannonBall - Enhanced Outrun Engine Released
Still salty about the original Outrun port all those years ago?
You're in luck - I decided to port over CannonBall - OutRun engine to the Amiga. Of course you need a seriously fast Amiga to play this - A500 or A600 with Vampire 2/Gold 2 core or better recommended:D Available on Aminet now. - http://aminet.net/package/game/race/CannonBall Gameplay Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yVqB13EtZg |

Nice work Lantus360. Watched your video clip earlier today and was quite impressed.
|
nice game, even if it require mame roms.
better to have a full porting on open-source game, but however, great job |
Cannonball is fully open source. It uses the MAME ROMs for the graphics and level layouts, and for interpreting the music/sound data.
|
Looks nice but it seems my A600 with a furia is not enough to run it as I get an error message about missing video.
|
Only RTG is supported at this time. I may look at including AGA in a later build
Id actually be interested on how well it runs on an fast 040/060 + RTG setup |

Next you have the audio part to deal with..... It's not even sure that a 060 can cope with the arcade version. |
It's maybe time for a clockport FM soundcard (fitted with an YM2151).
There are dozen of PCM soundcards on the Amiga, but not any FM... :mad |
i tried on winuae (but with no jit, cpu_speed=max and cycle_exact=false) and i can play at about 19/20 fps. not bad
But i think that on real 68040 also with RTG could be much slower. |

But honestly, if you have support for MIDI output, that's all you need, then you can connect a MIDI module that is exactly a 2151 or something else/better. So, can Cannonbal be made to use MIDI OUT for music instead? |
FM is not MIDI. It's quite possible that the game stores its music as OPL commands.
|
For a decent Outrun in low powered machines i really don't see too much alternatives that a rewrite from scratch in assembly or a hack of one of the existing racing games... :/

Stuff like the MIDIbox SID lets you play SIDs to them through MIDI, so it IS possible. Since plenty of FM modules are already available, it would be a better chance than waiting for anybody to create an FM soundcard for the Amiga clockport. |
Kudos lantus360 for finally applying water to the most ancient Amiga-ST burn.

EDIT: Oops, it requires a 24bit mode, that wasn't documented... So: http://i.imgur.com/OKGNygn.png http://i.imgur.com/7nyJL5n.png Between 5 and 10 FPS, input lag is extreme. pretty much unplayable. Thats on a 68060 + CV64. |
what spec Amiga are you trying it on?
it could also mean you have the incorrect ROM version. there are no CRC checks at this time |
