Cannonball - The Enhanced Outrun Engine

(1/3) > >>

BadMouth:
Analog support has been added to Cannonball.  :applaud:
I just saw this update and haven't tried it yet.   (I will tonight!)

This isn't an emulator, but a complete rewrite in C++ by someone with a deep understanding of the game.
However, it requires MAME roms for the graphics and sound.



Cannonball is a program which allows you to play an enhanced version of Yu Suzuki's seminal arcade racer, OutRun, on a variety of systems:

60 fps gameplay (smoother than the original game)
True widescreen mode (extend the play area by 25%)
High Resolution mode (improves sprite scaling)
Time Trial Mode
Cheats
Customisable Music
High Score Saving
Western, Japanese & prototype track support
Analog & Digital controllers supported
Fixes bugs present in the original game

Cross-posting this to the "Official list of PC Games" thread so it doesn't get lost, very cool.

Absolutely awesome! One of my favorite games as a kid, I loved the fact you could choose your soundtrack on the car radio, lol good memories.

BadMouth:
Gave this a spin on my driving cab last night.
It feels polished for a work in process.

Everything works as it should.  The only thing I had an issue with was that a 2nd joystick couldn't be mapped to the shifter.
It could be worked around with an autohotkey script, but I have a feeling multiple devices will be supported in a future build.
Can't wait for force feedback to be added.

Definitely a must have for anyone with a widescreen driving setup.

One day hopefully I'll build one of these for Arcade and PC.... too many projects, not enough brain cells
