hmm, maybe you have the wrong outrun.zip?
They work well with the original Cannonball; I do have the additional ROMs that Cannonball supports (fixed audio):

opr-10268.99I tried it again without the Dinothawr core and it ran fine, I noticed that when the Dinothawr core is removed when I select the cannonball.game it then displays Cannonball with a little rocket ship icon next to it and then selecting that launches the game.
Also managed to catch the end of the Command Prompt (this is displayed when I quit out by pressing Esc):
[INFO] [Font]: Using font rendering back end: freetype.
I had to record my screen using my phone to catch that, it displays really quickly, and screen recording software just shows a blank screen during that moment.
So for whatever reason, removing the Dinothawr core is solving the issue for now.
Hi, I just realised you mentioned updating the Core Info files; I must have missed it before 
I have updated the Core Info files, and now when I choose to open cannonball.game it asks which core I would like to open it with and the options are Cannonball or Dinothawr.
So it must have needed the Core Info files to allow the option to choose the correct core 
Phew, thanks again for your help

I’ve been trying to launch Cannonball either manually in RetroArch by loading that core, or from a command line with retroarch.exe -L cannoball_libretro.dll and I see errors that it cannot find certain files even though I unzipped everything from outrun.zip into my system\cannonball\ folder. I’ve tried different versions of the rom, along with a modified version specifically for cannonball with new tracks and the audio fixes.

According to the documentation I have all the files needed there and then so. Here is what the directory looks like.
You need to make an empty file in your folder and rename it into Cannonball.game.
Launch it with the core then it should work.
If you are still having trouble, here are the MD5 values of the files I have installed if it helps:

Sorry to bump an old thread…
If I run the dummy file (cannonball.game) it runs just fine, but from the “contentless core” playlist it fails to launch.

That was weird! I already had the cannonball folder copied in /system, after reading your post I deleted it and copied over again and it actually worked! 
no idea why it wasn’t working before, nonetheless it is solved now!
Thanks! 
Ah, good to hear it’s working for you
