This is my Vita port of Cannonball, an enhanced Outrun engine by djyt.

NOTE: Arcade roms for Outrun Version B are required to run this engine. The roms are NOT included in the download (see installation instructions).

A detailed Manual and FAQ are here: https://github.com/djyt/cannonball/wiki.

Requirements

• Game Data Files.

Installation Instructions

Arcade roms from Outrun version B are required to run this homebrew, they are not included.

• Install the .vpk
• Extract the contents of data.zip into ux0:data/ (it is just two folders and an info file for roms)
• Obtain the arcade roms for Outrun Version B and extract them into ux0:data/cannonball/roms
• Launch the bubble, enjoy Outrun in almost perfect 60 fps.

Vita Controls

Note: Buttons can be re-mapped in menu

• L = insert coin
• Square = start
• Triangle = gas / enter letter on hi-score screen
• Circle = brake
• Cross = change gears
• Select = change in-game camera
• R = menu Dpad = menu navigation and digital steering wheel controls
• Left stick = analog steering wheel if analog is set to ON or WHEEL ONLY, otherwise this is digital.
• Right stick = analog gas/brake if analog is set to ON

Notes about Vita version

• Default difficulty is set to easy, but can be changed to normal or hard in the menu.
• The game runs at full speed with almost constant 60 fps. The exception is some slowdown at the beginning of the race. That slowdown can also be eliminated by turning of widescreen mode in the menu, but then the picture is a bit smaller. The high-resolution hack should not be enabled, it causes too much slow-down.
