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  Available on Aminet now. - http://aminet.net/package/game/race/CannonBall Gameplay Video - [ Show youtube player ] |

Nice work Lantus360. Watched your video clip earlier today and was quite impressed.

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...

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:   Between 5 and 10 FPS, input lag is extreme. pretty much unplayable. Thats on a 68060 + CV64. Last edited by Locutus; 10 April 2017 at 19:38. |

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 |
