Dunno if you're still updating this, but I've encountered a minor issue with my settings not saving properly. Windows 7, latest version of the core. The config.xml (which is in the default RetroArch directory instead of the cannonball folder?) says that my settings are correct, but every time I boot the game, high-res mode is turned off, etc. The desktop version linked below works just fine, so it's something about this core not reading the XML correctly.

Also, if you weren't aware, this fork seems to be better updated since I don't think the original dev is working on this anymore.

This desktop version that you can grab pre-compiled here seems to be based on that. It has more features, the credits function works properly, it has the widescreen tilemap, etc.

Per default, my gamepad is configured in an awkward way. Left is "insert coin" (which, btw, will insert all 9 credits instantaneously), right is "select item / start", Start is "Gear" etc (these description relations are: My Gamepad "Function in game"). Right Shoulder button will return to menu.

I can rebind these in the RetroArch GUI, but some have effect, some don't. I can not move gear away from start button, for example. I can not move "start" and "insert coint" to "start" and "select" buttons, away from the D-PAD. However, I can move the "return to menu" -key (which can be quite intrusive in the shoulder button as that is way too easy to press accidentally).

The game is very awkward, almost impossible to play.

[libretro ERROR] Cannot open file: res/tilemap.bin
[libretro ERROR] Cannot open file: res/tilepatch.bin
Is the error I get

For some reason its looking for the folder/files for the widescreen patch in Retroarchs home folder instead of the content directory

Working example: C:\Users\jetup13\AppData\Roaming\RetroArch\res

Non-working: C:\Users\jetup13\AppData\Roaming\RetroArch\downloads\CannonBall\res

This needs to be moved to the content directory

Hi,
The core freezes after the initial menu.
In the setup file, when I bypass the menu, the core freezes at launch
I'd like so much to play Outrun with Cannonball Enhancements on my WiiU :)
If you need more information, ask me. I'll do my best to help you.
Thank you in advance

Cannonball can optionally use two binary files for fixing some graphics in widescreen mode. Conveniently, these files can be downloaded with the Retroarch content downloader which downloads these files and other instructions. These files are packaged in a directory called res/ which is a subdirectory in the directory where the Outrun roms should be placed.

The issue is that the core does not load the files in res/, unless the current working directory where Retroarch is run from is the same directory where res/ is.

The core should search for res/* in the same directory where it is loading roms from.

Noticed on Retroarch Linux from Testing PPA on Kubuntu 18.04.

The xml config files created might be better off in $HOME/.config/retroarch/system/cannonball
or something like that.

I have been trying to add custom music tracks to Cannonball in the Windows main Retroarch release, and no paths used, or config.xml details seem to trigger custom tracks. Is this a feature in the Retroarch core?

Hi there,

Am I the only who noticed that pressing the credits button once gives live 4-9 credits?

Gear only works if I leave it at the default map to A and X button. If I go to quickmenu->controls and try to remap Gear to any other button, it doesn't work.

I can remap other buttons fine, e.g. Change View, Coin etc. those all can be remapped. But not Gear.

Hi there,

Could this core please be updated to latest sources from upstream in https://github.com/djyt/cannonball ?

There have been major changes, including graphics drawing inaccuracies being fixed.
Please, don't let this awesome core lag behind :)

I have the core files from CannonBall.zip (had to extract manually because extracting archives seems to be nonworking on Wii U) and a verified revision B romset. I can see the Cannonball menu, change my video and audio settings, etc. But as soon as I select "Play Game" the whole system locks up and I need a hard power off.
