I'm not playing much Amiga games anymore, to be honest. And I have an arcade machine with MAME sitting here, including Outrun.
But I'm following most developments of new Amiga games, as I'm amazed what's still possible to achieve with the Amiga. And with that I mean vanilla Amigas, with maybe just RAM expansions. So although there's now two ports in development I'm more interested in the development of OutRun AGA . |

With Adrian on board, graphics conversion has really taken off, now in 32 colour mode. Quick picture off my mobile, sorry. Haven’t had time to update the HUD layer palette. (Yes we know the Palm tree base is too green). Last edited by agermose; 04 April 2024 at 23:51. |

the startline is not really critical in the game. What's important is the game itself.
You can resort to hacks just for the start line. More generally, I often found me "lucky" when doing ports as in-game parts are sometimes less demanding than title screens where there are several independent layers that must be emulated (big title screen, text...) For example in Moon Patrol (obviously comparable to Outrun ) I had to hardcode the Title, which has originally using 8x8 tiles. Redrawing them each frame over the mountain layers, with "cookie cut" mode was too taxing. Instead I blitted an assembled copy. Since there are no enemies during the title screen, it runs properly. |

As you said, the solution may involve hacks, or removing objects. Looking forward to Moon patrol. Played it a lot on my c64, and as much as I could in the arcades. Last edited by agermose; 05 April 2024 at 08:19. |

Yes, its a lot of fun converting the graphics with as few compromises as possible and always chasing arcade accuracy too- I'm a stickler for details.
Its a joy to see it running on Amiga- I'm sure when the time is right agermose will share a video of progress. |

Keep up the work ! Do you plan to add a colour swap (the grey on the wheel) to make us think the wheels are turning ? |

Wow - looks brilliant! Ferraris are now like buses - you wait 30 years for one and two come at once.

Yes, I was thinking colour cycling as it looks like on the video that there is two clear colours on the wheels.

As Adrian said we discussed it. We would have to sacrifice 2 colours designated to it. It’s a 5 minute job to code, but right now I think we need the colours elsewhere.
