Daedalus R7 Released!

greg | August 13, 2006

StrmnNrmn has just released Daedalus R7; – the quickly maturing Nintendo 64 (N64) emulator for the PSP. R7 comes packed with many great improvements, as per the changelog below:

  • [^] Avoid checking for interrupts in dynarec code in most situations.
  • [^] Optimise dynarec Load/Store instructions to avoid checking for interrupts directly.
  • [^] Implemented the remaining 32-bit integer instructions in the dynarec.
  • [^] Implemented the remaining commong load/store instructions in the dynarec.
  • [^] Implemented JAL/JR in dynarec.
  • [^] Optimised various texture cache related features.
  • [^] Added various known value optimisations to the dynarec engine.
  • [^] Link together blocks even when they exit with branch likely instructions.
  • [+] Added option to allow frequency of texture update checks to be reduced.
  • [+] Added the ability to configure buttons
  • [!] Fixed a couple of compatibility issues caused by the dynarec.
  • [!] Fixed a couple of issues related to self-modifying code and the dynarec.
  • [!] Fixed issues with the framerate counter flickering.

Here’s what StrmnNrmn has to say about Release 7:

The main emphasis has been on improving the framerate of as many roms as possible, but I’ve also made some significant fixes to the dynarec engine which should improve compatibility for a few roms where this was causing problems before.

There are two settings you should be aware of if you’re looking at getting the fastest possible framerate. The first is on the global settings page (that’s the one you see on the main menu as soon as you boot up). You’ll want to set ‘Tesselate Large Triangles’ to No here. The next option that helps boost the framerate is set ‘Texture Update Check’ to Disabled on the Rom Settings screen. A combination of these two options give a significant speedup in various roms.

In R7 I’ve also added the ability to define your own custom controller configurations. You can define a new controller mapping by adding a new .ini file to the Daedalus/ControllerConfigs directory. There are a few examples in there already, and I’ll look at posting a brief tutorial up here sometime soon. If you come up with a new mapping you think would be useful then email me (my address is in the readme.txt) and I’ll post it up here and add it to a later release.

StrmnNrmn has gone beyond the call of duty and has yet again reached another astonishing feat. A sincere thanks from PSP Hacks for such an impressive release!

Ya u need to disable the large triangle option to make it faster it got to 20 fps in game!!!! Its already incredible!!! Now we only need sound. I’m sure the next version will include it, can’t wait for it. And some more roms compatible and its gonna be awesome. Just keep up the good work. My psp won’t be a paperweight :P

its getting better but if anyone thinks it will ever have full speed and full sound your crazy i just dont see this thing ever really being playable. i sure hope im proved wrong but that rarelly happens

I agree with EATME, The PSP processor will never be powerful enough to do what we want the N64 emulator to do. I want Multi, I want sound, R7 doesn’t even have full framerate yet!!!

What are the steps to get Mario 64 to 20 fps?

 
Comment by julian
2006-08-14 13:20:24

How does the save function work? i had the feeling that it would be activated after pressing select, but no. If i just save in mario after getting the first star when i load r7 up again the save game is not there.
:( please help

ps: to get mario @ 20fps….. in setting turn tesselate triangles to “OFF”, then select the rom and load it. you are now at another settings menu… select “texture update check” and set it to disable…. your now good to go

Great work but I can never see this being playable .

All I want is a decent GBA emu and ill be happy .

will this thing have wifi support? or will it be awhile till StrmnNrmn can make that possible?

Its still at its early stages. But People who say it won’t be perfect aren’t completly wrong. Even the Xbox can’t emulate the N64 perfectly.

this is great news! i just hope that conkers bad fur day will be able to run…. also, i think this has great potential, but for right now i would be in agreement with people who say that the best thing to do is to continue to get the framerates up so that this thing will be able to handle sound when it becomes reality. and yes, multiplayer would kick-ass :-)

not true!!! its all a matter of beign able to understand the n64 codin and translating it…..so its just a matter of finding out a rout for the psp in wich it will fully understand the n64 codings…

Wow alot of people in here are very pesimistic if that’s how you spell it. People do crazy things all the time, i’m damned sure that eh’ll get it to full speed soon enough. All you have to do is wait.

@junkmonkey

Are you kidding me? Of course it doesn’t have full framerate, do you have any idea how young of an emulator this is?? You have to take into consideration how long this has been out, and that there is ONE person working on the project, heck SnesTYL was out for around two years before being full speed with sound etc etc. and that was with a team of coders. So, for the amount of progress the one coder has made for Daedalus is amazing.

after it loaded you dont need the memory card

I think that is why it goes slower than the original system

the original system was always because it cant work without the game after it started so it went faster

If it was always loading it would have sound and go faster

@ adam

You might be right :O or maybe totally wrong lol. I don’t know alot about programming but I know emulating a console is really complicated.

@ Tyrian

Do you know what emulation is at least? Just think about it Xbox can’t even emulate the N64 perfectly.

Anybody know how to save in Mario 64? The battery back up save does not work, so i’m just wondering if there’s a ’state save’. Thanks.
