Since I don't use Windows, I can only test the game on real hardware
Er, not true? plus4emu can be complied and run on Linux or Mac, to my knowledge so does YapeSDL and, of course, you could use WINE to run YAPE as a last resort.

It shows the message and returns to BASIC.

The game will display that message on VICE but it will still load and play correctly. I think you just press space for the turbo.

 Re: Turbo OutRun with a steering wheel

You need to first make the joystick port compatible with Atari, using the second circuit on this page: https://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/documents/projects/interfaces/plus4joy/plus4joy.html
You can then make it compatible with PC joysticks using this circuit:

The steering wheel (and any PC joystick) works as a digital joystick with 1 fire button. The second button is wired to "up" via a diode, and in the game I use it to accelerate.
I don't know how to activate the turbo. I tried to run the game on VICE and it showed the message "This emulator is not supported. Use yape...". Since I don't use Windows, I can only test the game on real hardware, but unfortunately I don't have the space to keep the Plus/4 always connected. Next time I can connect it, I'll figure out how to activate the turbo.

 Re: Turbo OutRun with a steering wheel

Very cool stuff happy Nice to see Turbo Outrun running. My question: is turning the turbo on/off mapped to some feature of the wheel?

Yeah but the control method still looks digital to me. With a SIDcard we could actually have analog control. I think it would be cool to try and implement mouse control.

@TCFS, what do you think? happy

That is cool, well done!

What is the interface circuitry doing?
