      Hi all!
      trying my best to have cannonball working, with no luck.

      Long story short: I messed a lot trying to find correct rom, but after a while I realized, using windows cannonball port, that the rom itself was correct (Rev.B, outrun.zip from latest mame romset).

      Looking at runcommand.log what I can see is :

      Parameters:
      Executing: pushd /opt/retropie/ports/cannonball; /opt/retropie/ports/cannonball/cannonball; popd
      /opt/retropie/ports/cannonball ~
      /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 1255: 15014 Illegal instruction /opt/retropie/ports/cannonball/cannonball

      So seems some sort of "illegal instruction" (??).
      SD is ok and fsck gone without errors.
      Pi3 with latest retropie (4.6)

      Any clues ? :)
      Thks!

        Did you unpack the ROM (outrun.zip) in \\retropie\roms\ports\cannonball ?

          Yep, everything's in place.

          I had more confirmation that the rom content itself is correct because if I try to pick an older / wrong rom (and unpack it in the correct folder) I get a crc warning at cannonball startup in runcommand.log.

            Strange, that should work. Can you try updating the package (cannonball) from source and re-try ?

              IIRC I installed from binary, will try building from source :)

                No luck at all.
                Even compiling from source didn't work: Illegal instruction" and back to ES. :(

                That's really bad, lr-mame 2003 runs outrun with hugly fps and dedicated "emulator" isn't working: any idea to save an outrun fan to get it working an a brand new bartop ? ;)

                  advmame runs Outrun pretty well. I don't know why canonball doesn't like your ROMs (which I assume is the cause of the segfault), I tried running it and it works fine (on a Pi4, though, but the software is identical).

                    I also never had any issues with cannonball on my pi 3 nor 4, so I'm puzzled. Advmame is indeed a good option, but if you want to dig into this and have a spare SD card I'd suggest setting up a new instance from the latest image and then install cannonball.

                    You mention you're on the latest 4.6 RetroPie but can you detail where it started from? Did you install from the latest 4.6 image? Did you upgrade from an old one?

                        So I've copied the 5 zip files from mame2010

                        outrunb.zip  outrundx.zip  outruno.zip  outrunra.zip  outrun.zip

                        with just outrun.zip extracted I get the message:

                        cannot open rom: epr-10381a.132

                        managed to get all the files from all those zips and then get "illegal instruction"
