Just trying it out on my A1200/040. I'm getting an average of about 16FPS, which is okay. It sometimes gets to 25, and sometimes to 12.

The main thing that's missing (which I'm quite surprised by) is joystick control. Could an option be added for a 1 button joystick, since this is what 100% of people with Amigas will have? Up to accelerate, down to brake, fire to change gear.

At the moment I can't brake, so some corners I just crash on.

That's slower than some get with an 030. What's the accelerator card out of interest?

One button joystick support - something I'll address in a future version yes. In the meantime, Megadrive/Master System pads work if you have one. Or obviously there's keyboard support too.

It's an Apollo 1240 25Mhz with 32Mb RAM. Sysinfo says the RAM is running at 29.3 Mb/s. It also says "32 Bit Power-Burstmode-FastRAM"

I can play DOOM and Alien Breed 3D II okay, so I was expecting it to be a bit quicker, especially after I read the readme about the speed.

Interesting. And to confirm you're running the binary obtained from here, not the WHDLoad version?

It's always difficult to provide a guarantee of speed considering there's a lot of different configurations out there, but I would hope you were getting better than what you've reported. It sounds slower than I would expect.

Yes, it's the one from here (outrun_amiga_edition_v09.zip).
I tried it with no startup and just setpatch. I may have gained 1 FPS, as it was showing 17 FPS for a lot of the first level instead of 16.

Saving the scores, would be good, too.

Well done, it's quite an achievement.
