Some dude apparently reverse-engineered arcade OutRun (I'm assuming), porting it over to Windows, OSX, and Linux, and added widescreen support, 2x resolution support, true 60fps (arcade version alternates between updating the track and updating the sprites every frame, lol), force feedback, and some other stuff.

And he's working on a level editor, pretty wild!

This is probably now the best way to play OutRun.

This feels weird. I like it, but it takes some time to get used to it.

This really isn't the thread for reminiscing about PAX hotel room activities.

Pretty neat. The already great sense of motion is definitely improved for the denser object population and the higher framerate. The music sounds a little off, though, especially Magical Sound Shower.

At least you can make custom soundtracks.
I hope this continues to improve.
I'd love to see a 15 stage continuous route like in C2C.

I'd love seeing Super Hang-on & Turbo Out Run support added, with these games being on the same Sega board. Maybe even triple monitor support later.
The Pandora port looks amazing, but I'd really be interested in a PSP one. The author didn't have a PSP, but said it should be real easy due to SDL.

Some video of Cannonball in action.

I don't think it is playing nice with the analog stick on my 360 pad. Steering is weird. And I can't set the analog triggers to gas and brake. Otherwise, this is awesome!

Weird. Mine could have used dead zone adjustment (like with many games paired with a more worn controller), but gas and break worked fine.

I read something about split-axis controls in the documentation, and it seems like a ymmv thing.
I blame the archaic way direct input handles game controllers. The needs of a few niche flight sims outweigh the needs of the many, apparently.
I can't use my arcade stick because it won't let me map steering to the "POV hat".
