Installation Instructions
=====
Note: arcade roms from Outrun version B are required to run this homebrew!

- Launch the bubble, enjoy Outrun in almost perfect 60 fps.

Changelog

• support non-fullscreen modes

1.03

WOAH! way out dude! any change that there is/could be a psp version?

 

[rsn8887]

I think there's an SDL port for PSP, so it might be possible. It would be interesting to see the fps on PSP

This is really awesome. Outrun is one of most favorite arcade games, and Cannonball has some very nice improvements to an already really fun game. Thanks for the effort!

PS - With a bit of fiddling, I was able to get it compiled under Ubuntu 14.04 with OpenGL (which isn't surprising since it's supposed to work with Debian and Raspberry PI). Without OpenGL, on high res + 60fps ~50% of one core is busy in Xorg, which is always fun...

Outrun is one of my fav Arcade games
And one of most impressive Arcades ever with After Burner II and Galaxy Force II (the 60fps scaling is still impressive)
Nice job man

With 1.5 version at 16:9 I have slowdown when race starts.

Any fix or is to much for vita?

Enchanced mode is very slow too.

Won't run. Just goes back to the main screen.

EDIT - Sorted!!!!
