Out Run Progress & Renegade
🕑 Added 2022-07-22 17:22:52 +0000 UTCShort update this week to tell you that work on the Out Run system continues. The game currently boots to a halt, although the service menu works. Too bad the built-in checks cannot find any problems with the core. I have moved my attention to Super Hang On, which is like Out Run but shares the sprites chip with System 16B. This one boots and goes through the demo loop, but the road is just a straight line, so it isn’t playable yet. Only the FM music works perfectly at the moment and PCM support is on its way. We have a good chance of having Super Hang On working in a week.
As part of the research done for Out Run, a bug in the System 16B mapper became clear. Fixing it prevented a situation where Golden Axe would halt in level 2. The files in JTBIN were updated with the fix a few days ago.
On the schematics front, we finished Gun Bird 2 and we went to an older system for a change. We have got about 50% of Renegade done now (see the attached PDF file). This system would be easy to port to FPGA if it wasn’t for the MCU. I think there is one version of the game that doesn’t use an MCU. We may start from that one.
That’s all for this week.

Breve actualización de esta semana para decirles que el trabajo en el sistema Out Run continúa. El juego actualmente se detiene, aunque el menú de servicio funciona. Lástima que las comprobaciones integradas no puedan encontrar ningún problema con el núcleo. He movido mi atención a Super Hang On, que es como Out Run pero comparte el chip de sprites con System 16B. Este arranca y pasa por el ciclo de demostración, pero el camino es solo una línea recta, por lo que aún no se puede jugar. Solo la música FM funciona perfectamente en este momento y el soporte PCM está en camino. Tenemos buenas posibilidades de que Super Hang On funcione en una semana.
Como parte de la investigación realizada para Out Run, quedó claro un error en el mapeador System 16B. Arreglarlo evitó una situación en la que Golden Axe se detuviera en el nivel 2. Los archivos en JTBIN se actualizaron con la corrección hace unos días.
En cuanto a los esquemas, terminamos Gun Bird 2 y pasamos a un sistema más antiguo para variar. Ya hemos terminado alrededor del 50 % de Renegade (consulte el archivo PDF adjunto). Este sistema sería fácil de portar a FPGA si no fuera por la MCU. Creo que hay una versión del juego que no usa MCU. Podemos empezar por ese.
Eso es todo por esta semana.

今週の短い更新で、OutRunシステムでの作業が継続していることがわかります。サービスメニューは機能しますが、ゲームは現在停止しています。残念ながら、組み込みのチェックではコアの問題を見つけることができません。私はスーパーハングオンに注意を向けました。これはアウトランに似ていますが、スプライトチップをシステム16Bと共有しています。これは起動してデモループを通過しますが、道路は直線であるため、まだ再生できません。現時点ではFM音楽のみが完全に機能し、PCMサポートが進行中です。スーパーハングオンが1週間で機能する可能性は十分にあります。
Out Runで行われた調査の一環として、System16Bマッパーのバグが明らかになりました。これを修正すると、Golden Axeがレベル2で停止する状況が回避されました。JTBINのファイルは、数日前に修正されて更新されました。
回路図の面では、Gun Bird 2を完成させ、古いシステムに変更を加えました。レネゲードの約50％が完了しました（添付のPDFファイルを参照）。このシステムは、MCUがなければ、FPGAに簡単に移植できます。 MCUを使用しないバージョンのゲームがあると思います。それから始めるかもしれません。
今週は以上です。

Thank you for the work you do! I hate to bring it up but Golden Axe still breaks at level 2 and currently displays some garbage during the demo artwork. Hopefully this will continue to be resolved as Outrun is cracked.

Well, as has been mentioned by more than one person, work done on the Pocket versions of these cores is not exclusive to that system and could lead to squashed bugs and improved versions of the cores for all systems. So even that is not 100% accurate.
There is nothing "weird" about that movement. I understand that owners of other devices want the cores too. When people start working on other devices, the device they are already working on might loose focus. So it's a perfectly normal movement. It troubles me too, that there might be less focus and releases for the MiSTer... splitting work power is never good.

I joined specifically to support the idea of you working on Pocket cores. Looks like there is some weird negative movement against Pocket and Analogue?

I've been reading his blog entries. It's very interesting!

Have you contacted Chris White from the Out Run Enhanced project? Perhaps a collaboration with him can get the ball rolling on the FPGA core for Out Run.
This is really exciting, Outrun and Super Hang-On are two of my favourites although I’m terrible at both. Looking forward to playing the in due course. Thanks for all your hard work

So looking forward to playing both OutRun & Super Hang-On on MiSTer!

Thank you for all your hard work

ok, thanks for all the work !

I think After Burner will work ok. Although Out Run is proving hard to fit in a MiST device. The MiSTer is fine, though.

Maybe I should have start from Hang On. I was actually working on Out Run and Super Hang On happens to share the CPU board with it.

Oh now this is very cool stuff. The super scaler games were some of my favorites. Is it too early to speculate on the X and Y board games like After Burner or Power Drift? Or are those just vastly too different to guess at this time? I know Sega’s solution to everything for a while was to just throw more 68ks at things so I could see how those might get a little hairy.

Absolutely awesome! Renegade is a classic and those amazing 8 bit ports that followed, very pleased your working on renegade!
Pierre-Emmanuel Martin
awesome ! Just one question : why work on "Super Hang On" and not "Hang On" first ?
