@ojideagu i just did out of curiosity.. and your wrong go look up current sega hardware or even 1999 hardware and you'll see it is, unless your refering to the outrun engine of 1986 against a game made in 2002? which you cant really do.. besides did you look at v-rally 3 for the gba? its basically a sprite not even a real 3d car model, plus there was no V-Rally 3 in the arcade im sure it would be as better or equal to the ps2 port if there was.
@jr2nd Wrong, V-rally is 90% 3D texture mapped, only the Car is not. I'm talking about 1986 hardware, the Outrun arcade machine. You claimed that arcade was more powerful than the GBA. Well the V-Rally 3D is a texture mapped 3D engine that no Sega Hardware could do in 1986.
@ojideagu thats what i said the CAR is a sprite not a real 3d model.. but anyway you cant compare a 1986 12mhz engine to a 2001 16mhz hand held console due to the better technology involved, thats like comparing a spectrum 48k to an amiga 1200.. no where did i say 1986 hardware was better? i said IF sega released v-rally 3 arcade in 2002 then the hardware would be better obviously.
@jr2nd The car is a minor issue, everything else is 3D and texture mapped. Still way beyond 1986 Sega arcades. I was comparing it because you were making out the GBA should not be able to do Outrun.
@ojideagu try re-reading what my original comment was.. it didnt say it couldnt, i was amazed it could... also amazing how bloody hard it is to get looking at ebay+amazon -.-
Gameboy advance is a very powerful system. The music on it matches every arcade game that plays on it. The processor is pretty powerful. I read that sprite count for gba is over 4,000 sprites! Thats alot of sprites!!
The GBA version is a decent rendition of OutRun, but not as good as SEGA's original super-scaler arcade game (1986) or the following arcade-quality ports:
@RareAspie i still got it. i got the japanese import version, as that one has also remixes of the outrun musics. i still play this game once in a while. it took 10 years before outrun (1986) became arcade perfect at home on the saturn (1996). thanks sega, better late than never :-)
i prefer the genesis one older bigger better.this is okay but the sound is muffled and the graphics are bit charp edged and so GBA is almost fully 32 bit console running on like 16mhz and they could have done a perfect job still fun to have i must admit this isnt that worse.
I like the GBA version (Sega Arcade Gallery) a lot better, mainly because the sprite graphics had a scaling effect, not just a sprite swap when the images came closer to your face.
The only problems I have with it is that the music sounds like a shitty MIDI track, and the colors seem a bit faded to.
I downloaded the GBA rom just to play OutRun, and I was disappointed that the game would freeze upon finishing a race. D:
@aryinc not that strange, as the saturn was developped with sprite scaling in mind. the gba is not from sega, en nintendo have superb games of their own, but they never did sprite scaling like sega did. still, the snes had some cool mode 7 effects too :-D
@aryinc indeed, i don't see the gba as a 32 bit hand held :-D but i felt this conversion turned out reasonably, especially considering it's just a hand held.
defnitly .nomad version is better only a nomad ain't that great for a handheld.then let's say genesis version.saturn version rules the japanese one i mean.
@aryinc indeed. i have the japanese saturn version of OutRun. as a matter of fact, i only bought the saturn after hearing that game would get released on it ;-D LOL.
that and the saturn has allot more to offer.i like the system very much.i've got a load of games on it from need for speed to street fighter vs xmen really awesome.i also had it modded so it could play anything any regio and 60hz.i love them 2d games on the system they're like no other.
yess i bought a modded saturn from consolepassion. i think i couldn't fix that job myself the fully modding,since saturn is alittle bit more difficult then sega genesis,wich i also have fully modded.genesis is doable i can give you the info aoutthat but saturn,no way i'm starting that.
I never got that GBA cartridge (though I'd still buy it if I saw it for the near arcade-perfect versions of the games), I just meant that several Sega arcade games from the mid-through-late 1980's used the exact same "GET READY" digitized voice effect.
I guess they thought it wasn't worth re-recording it for each individual game.
How did you record the video output from the GBA? Did you use something like the Gameboy Player for Gamecube, or is this being run through an emulator?
@JasonLee543 Also, if it can emulate (note - I said EMULATE) Sega Genesis, then why GBA would be less powerful than the OutRun arcade machine?
xan1242 3 months ago
@xan1242
are (were) you saying Game Boy Advance could
emulate Genesis/MD sounds like you're mistaken?
GBA was less powerful than Out Run arcade game
since Out Run had (has) 2 x 68000 CPU 12.5 MHz
GBA had (has) a weaker 17 MHz CPU ARM7TDMI
Out Run 320 x 224 pixels vs GBA 240 x 160 pixels
Game Boy Advance weaker Dual 8-bit stereo sound
Out Run arcade audio chips YM2151 + PCM 15 kHz
JasonLee310 3 weeks ago
@xan1242
Game Boy Advance didn't have the Zilog Z80 microprecessor
no surprise 32-bit version of Out Run on GBA sounded inferior
compared to Out Run on Sega Mega Drive and/or Sega Saturn
JasonLee310 3 weeks ago
@JasonLee543 Yeah, but clock speeds do not matter - the GBA's CPU is 32 bit, while the x68k is 16-bit.
