OutRun: Amiga Edition

> What Is This?

An optimized port of SEGA's 1986 arcade game OutRun, utilizing the original 68000 assembly code, to mid-spec Commodore Amiga computers.

Whilst small compromises have been made to accommodate differences between the arcade hardware and the Amiga - this looks and plays almost identical to the original.

This is not an emulator. Nor is it based on Cannonball, MAME,  or any existing project. It is a ground up rewrite in assembler, with a focus on performance. 

This game requires the original graphics and audio data from the arcade ROMs. These are not included, and you must source them yourself.

• 🐍 A python script to convert the arcade graphics & audio to Amiga format

A1200	Vampire 1200 V2	Full speed @ 30 fps

• Tested with Kickstart 3.0 - 3.2.3, and also 3.9.

This should work on other configurations, but the above are hardware tested at the point of writing. 

> Installation

Full instructions are provided in the bundled readme.txt, but the arcade ROMs (not included) must be converted to a format suitable for the Amiga with the supplied Python script.

The folder structure, should then be transferred to a folder on your Amiga.

You'll need a small amount of familiarity with the Amiga to get this running. It will, of course, work on WinUAE and similar emulators if configured correctly. 

> Controls

The game can be played on a keyboard or a 2-button joystick/pad, or even a combination of the two. CD32 compatible controllers are also supported.

> Support The Project!

You're welcome to use this completely free of charge! However, if you’d like to support the project and future updates, you have the option to contribute any amount you wish when downloading the files. 

This project is the culmination of years of (mostly enjoyable) work, and your support not only helps fund further development but also helps me reassure my family that those long hours were well spent!

Although digital software is not valued in the same way as physical hardware, it still involves a serious amount of cycles to produce. ❤️
