This is a Vita and Switch port of Cannonball, an enhanced Outrun engine by djyt.
A detailed Manual and FAQ are here.
Note: Arcade roms for Outrun Version B are required to run this engine. The roms are not included in the download (see installation instructions).
Installation
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.
User guide
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.
Also, buttons can be re-mapped in menu.
