If you assign the gear shift to a button in MiSTer, it works like this: You hold down the button for low gear, release for high gear. When you're below around 170 km/h, hold the button to accelerate faster, when you're above, release it to gain top speed.
The game runs at a staggered 30 FPS, although it doesn't seem completely consistent. In even frames, the road is updated, in odd frames, the roadside bitmap elements are updated.
The MiSTer implementation of OutRun now seems to work almost flawlessly. I now started playing it for real for the first time. It's way more enjoyable than I thought.
I played a bit of this on my birthday at Bip Bip Bar in Copenhagen.
I played again at Bip Bip Bar. It's crazy how much this machine shakes when you go off road. Also, I love the feeling of going from low gear to high gear and see the smoke from the tires. Such a great feeling.
