As far as the program logic goes –
it’s pretty simple. It just creates a menu and then fills in the
parameters for RAM, ROMs, etc. So there could definitely be other issues such
as the virtual machine not being 100% correct, or the board requiring a disable
watchdog line. Personally I’ve never worked on Outrun.

James,

I helped him straighten it out to where the
script would compile properly without errors. Can there still be
"hidden" errors? My tested scripts seem to run OK, but I don't
have an Outrun board to check this one with.

Just to be clear… any script
generated by tech.quarterarcade.com (I am assuming this is what Tony means by
“tried to get the outrun script from fide to run”) should be looked
over by the operator and adjusted appropriately. It’s just a starting
point, and it is frequently incorrect because the virtual machines in MAME
aren’t 100% accurate. Also, the script generator isn’t smart enough
to always generate legal subroutine names… that’s what you get for
free web-based utilities J

I think this was covered before, but
based on recent postings, I’d like to re-emphasize the point …

Also, FWIW, I have never used the LEARN
function…. Because the schemas and the MAME source code tell you a lot
more than LEARN can.

Good luck.

(I’m glad to hear that several
people are using FIDE. It’s possible in the future if the PODs get a
software driver that I’d update the software and fix a lot of things I
wasn’t happy with….)

JB
