Stunt Car Racer running at a super smooth 50/60fps on the Amiga? [BETA UPDATE]

Within the late 80’s, Geoff Crammond launched the unbelievable sport of ‘ Stunt Automotive Racer ‘. It concerned you the participant, racing round a 3D observe in a primary particular person view utilizing a automobile which had increase capabilities. It was additionally one of many biggest racing video games ever launched and what made it so nice was the truth that all the tracks have been like rollercoasters, with such harmful driving and unbelievable heights concerned it might’ve killed anybody if it was actual life. However this month as a little bit of a shock, a coder by the identify of Vesuri appears to be engaged on an Amiga model of Stunt Automotive Racer that is operating at a easy 50/60fps. One thing Amiga house owners have been wanting for a really very long time.

Both its blind nostalgia or one thing else however I’ve by no means had an issue with the body fee within the sport, besides again in 2016 there was a variety of house owners hoping for a easy 50/60fps body fee and choices of £400. Actually in line with one consumer, a part of the rationale he even purchased a 68060 on the time was the hope that SCR would break the ~15fps body fee it was mounted to. That hope did not bear fruit on the time, however with this newest tease there’s hope we could lastly see a 50/60fps Stunt Automotive Racer on the Amiga…

(This can be a comparability with the A500 aspect by aspect (WinUAE) – VincentGR)

UPDATE Checking my feedback feed early this morning I used to be instructed by Vesuri, that not solely is there a brand new video supplied above, however there is a new up to date beta giving us an early tease of this tremendous easy Stunt Automotive Racer that’s coming to the Amiga sooner or later within the close to future.

The modification is distributed as a WHDLoad slave file. A Stunt Automotive Racer WHDLoad set up is required.
It’s nonetheless a piece in progress. Contemplate it a beta model.
Supply code will probably be distributed as soon as it’s now not a piece in progress.

How one can use it?

Patch Notes :

Sadly my earlier replace was a bit rushed, sorry about that. This is a brand new model that ought to repair all the larger points I am conscious of:
Recreation was nonetheless operating in NTSC
Draw bridge was not animating as anticipated
Backside line of the third proper flame animation body was corrupted
Hopefully every other crashes and corrupted graphics on the finish of a race
