Daedalus R11 Is Near!
greg | April 30, 2007
StrmnNrmn shares some details as he prepares for the next iteration of his Nintendo 64 emulator. After refactoring how Daedalus handles textures, R11 shows a 5-10% speed enhancement — quite impressive!
But, the most noteworthy fact, 8MB can now be permanently allocated for the Expansion Pak! And if you’re [in the EDT timezone] reading this now: 1) you’re up too late, and 2) Daedalus R11 will also include the added benefit of remembering individual rom preferences!
A few finishing touches remain and StrmnNrmn should have R11 out the door this upcoming weekend.
The most significant change I’ve made is to fix a memory leak in the texture cache. I mentioned last week that I’d discovered that the texture cache was the biggest culprit for soaking up memory. It turned out that despite my fixes and support for 4-bit and 8-bit palettised textures, I was still running out of memory in certain situations. I did a bit more investigating, and discovered a resource leak that had been in the texture cache since it was first written (probably 7 or 8 years ago now!)
In the meantime, check out Daedalus R10.

1st post :) deadlus sux hard
Okay, when you port a gamecube emulator to the psp with 100% compatibility then you can talk. daedalus has Super Mario 64 and thats all I really need. If you need to cum in your pants with golden eye and zelda and other heavy stuff. And when others thought it was impossible for the n64 to be playable on the psp, daedalus proved em wrong. I bet he’s gonna prove us wrong again when he finds all the answers and fixes everything. When he gets 100% compatibility and speed who will be the one talking?
“gamecube emulator to the psp”
Hey man.. thats mean…
I already made a gamecube emulator and it works perfect. 100% psp capability.
ZOMG WERE LINK UR MY GOD!@!!@21
…
Shut up.
Get a life, write your own code then.
Go get laid.
Tool.
deadulus is shit nuthin works
lemme see the source code to your n64 emulator
he doesn’t fucking have one. the point is, you’re allowed to express your opinions on something, that’s the whole point of these comments. i’m sick of people saying, “well where’s YOUR daedalus, blah blah blah” stfu.
Again, go get laid.
Tool.
I hope its playable. Nice job/try anyways..
no you suck hard its works great u n00b lets see you make better then huh
i hope south park works
sweet
WOW! 5% speed improvement? That means 10.5 fps instead of 10 fps without sound? AMAZING!
5-10%…
most games have more than 10 fps without sound anyway. Without sound and with frameskip, you can go to around 35 fps. 5-10% more with 35fps is 36.75-38.5, which is better. still, he is updating it with 5-10% more each time over the last 3 or 4 updates of daedalus. thats between 30-40% faster (actually more than triple with frameskip and the major update)
Are you being sarcastic?
Daedalus on PSP rocks!, this is going to be amazing! looking forward to the update. lets see if they can create a N64 emulator on the DS, I bet it wont be as good as this!
impossible DS to PSP is like comparing Wii to PS3…
I know the games option still making the nintendos consoles win these battle but PSP is only the first generation of portables to sony but as the most powerful portable, PS3 still on first year Wont loose the faith… SFF (Sony Fanboy Forever)
good work, and please take your time!
Sweet, I love this emulator. Just a matter of time before everything runs full speed :)
the problem with the people that badmouth Daedalus is a) that they are un gratefull wankers b) they have know idea whatsoever how much work is involved with a project like this c) that they exist at all…im very much looking foreward to this, even if the compatibility isnt an better im happy faffing with mario and, oooo yeh micro machines works aswell, good shit! keep up the great work StrmnNrmn! :D as a side note, when pod racer game works that will be excessively cool, i remembeer playin the demo on my old old old pc so many years ago haha oh the memorys
Two words:
Spell Check.
heres another two words: you fuck, oh wait, sorry i ment phuck yuo :)
HEY u guys wanna stop being a bunch of DICK FUCKS???? do u know how much time and effort is put into making daedalus?? or maybe u are a bunch of noobed out 12 years olds who cant fucking remember what an n64 really is, it was one of the best systems ever sure the graphics weren’t as good as some other systems but it had some of the best games ever to come out, people all over the fucking world still play goldeneye, there still hasnt been a better zelda then ocarina of time and super smash bros. was one of the best fighting games ever created much more fun than mortal kombat (not to bash it at all) and there are many more games that people are going to be fucking happy to play, you guys shouldnt take unless you make a better progress then StrmnNrmn on your own emulator if u want og ahead and try to port gamecube to psp if u even can find a code to start with
what does “noobed out” mean?
how about posting a comment related to the thread. jackass..
good work StrmnNrmn
4 words dip “GRAND THEFT AUTO 3″ which blew n64 back to the stone-age!! that 1 game is the dopest EVER!!!! you need to RESPECT THAT YOU STUPID STUPID JACKASS!!!! GRAND THEFT AUTO SAN ANDREAS SOLD MORE COPIES OF THAT 1 GAME THAN WHAT THERE WAS OF PS2 SYSTEMS IN THE USA.
I BEAT GTA! I STILL PLAY IT!! MY N64 SITS AWAITING THE DAY WHEN SOMEONE SAYS “HEY I’LL GIVE YOU $20 FOR IT.” and I say “SOLD!!”
WHY DON’T YOU JUST STICK TO POSTING COMMENTS ON “N64-HACKS” OH CUZ THERE ISN’T ONE!!!!
PLAYSTATION 4 LIFE, BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Listen, you guys really need to wise up. This is an open source project that is being worked on. Notice that there hasn’t been a final release of the product. Do you think Microsoft Windows worked as well as it does when it was first released? HA! Yet you still use it considering all the bugs and problems. Give it time… the project will be stream lining soon enough. Also, don’t bash it unless you understand the complications for porting games to different consoles. so… STFU! :)
By the way, windows sucks.
Oh my god. You are such a tool. Don’t be a hater, just roll with it, for fucks sake.
with that resource leak fixed, will more roms be compatible?? i hope so…
I`m directing this to all of those Fanboys who think this thing will ever run at full speed(w/wo sound. WAKE UP!!! you`ll miss your schoolbus.
sweet hope goldeneye will load up :) i think its about 8mb in size
“Wow…” to some of the comments on here on how much it sucks. How many of you know C++? I mean at least what the heck it means; nonetheless, knowing how to use it. Not that Daedalus is written in that language, since I have no idea.
In addition, this shows the problem with releasing software early. It tarnishes the creator’s reputation in the future even if the program is eventually completed and fully working.
You don’t like it? Don’t play it. It’s as simple as that. I loved R10, and I can’t wait for R11.. Keep up the good work StrmnNrm; ignore the haters.
Ouch. I downloaded it and I erased it from my card, Im not going to be a dickhead about it. If you dont like it dont use it. I do hope it makes full speed one day.
It’s more or less theoretically impossible for this emulator to ever run at full speed. The object is to tweak it to the point where it is at least playable without making you want to pull your own nut sack hair out. If you say it sucks, you’re an idiot. It’s a technological marvel. If you say, “wow, I can’t wait for it to be done so I can play zelda at full speed” you too are an idiot. Enjoy it for what it is - nothing more, nothing less.
Can’t wait for Daedalus… R15!
Why cant this emulator go up to full speed? They said the same thing about the gameboy advanced emu. And before that the super nintendo! I dont get it, psp plays ps2 games like gta3 on it but you think it cant play 64? Tell me why? Once 64 does run on fullspeed, dreamcast is next :)
umm i dunno i herd r10 was supposed to be amazing and wham nothing works im waitin until r5,000 comes out cuz then itll probeably work by then with eevrything
R10 was amazing. i can play mario good enough with full speed in the castle and small levels and playable speeds on big levels.
you retards who think daedalus is shit. if you think its shit then why you on the comments page? and reading about R11?. go fuck yourselfs. you try make better, if you can make better then ill go to your house and reward you. noobs…. daedalus will pwn your mothers
what does PWN mean?
Pie.
PSP was not designed to emulate the N64. The PSP was designed with PS1 emulation in mind. That said, the N64 has a processor 3 times faster than that of the PS1. You guys got all of that down so far? Good. We’re talking about emulating a 94mhz machine, on a 333mhz machine. In general, emulation usually requires a factor of 10x to emulate a system “fully” at full speed with sound. The fact that Daedalus can do all it can with such limited resources is BEYOND amazing. You people that are expecting this emulator will ever be perfect are kidding yourselves. Strmm can’t magically make your PSPs run at 600mhz to make it possible. And the person saying Dreamcast is next… that’s BEYOND laughable. The Dreamcast was 200mhz. While it’s theoretical that you could write an emu for the PSP, to even imagine that you’d get a 2-3fps on it with 1% game compatibility would be pushing it.
It’s cute that some of you people are ultra idealistic, but understand the limits of hardware. Likewise, it’s cute that some of you are total assholes who know nothing of the hardware and think Strmm is just a bad coder. As some have mentioned before, if you think you can do better, you’re free to try.
wrong, Wrong, Wrong PSP=PS2 and is not all about the processor the PSP have a bigger technology than PS2 matter of fact when you see whole package.
saying things like “have a bigger technology” make you look smart
wrong the psp was never desinged in mind to play ps1 game. dax just figured out that the psp contains all the necessary resources to emulate a ps1.
actually if you do a bit of research, youl see the psp has a bout 1/4 to 1/3 the overall power of the psp, for example the psp has a MIPS R4000 proccessor while the ps2 has a MIPS R5900 (as you migth guess the larger number indicates its a faster chip) also psp has 2mb dedicated video memory ps2 has 4mb and has a much higher memory bandwidth…thers plenty of other diferneces, but its not suprising the psp is less powerfull its the smallest most well built portable games console ever. i forgot what my point is, oh yes your wrong psp does not = ps2
that was the frist time i have ever read anyone on this site, write so well, now that is truly amazing, cant wait for an update on Koji, ill call it:”Koji-oe”
and yes this is an amazing emulater. for you peps that wast your time writting hate mial i call released a program it called yafartersanassanyamomtoo, wait for updates
For anyone who demises Daedalus,
you are truly a foolish moronic kid who has no knowledge of any kind.
To go about a task of putting an N64 emulator onto a PSP is certainly not easy. The N64 is a powerful system next too the PSP.
The emulators perfection does not look forthcoming because N64 emulation on the PSP draws the line of psp emulation, so its going to be rough for awhile. These guys make you homebrew and emulators too show you there progress to give you an idea of what they could possibly have on our PSPs in the future, for free!
So go about yourself and show a little respect.
lol omg all u guys are gay and need to stfu until the real shit comes out if u aint helpin make the damn emulator then stfu and stop complainin or go make it ya damn self fucken losers
keep that momentum dude shweet.
don’t listen to the dumb noobs, soon this shit is gon be at full speed, then these fags(who don’t have tha balls to post their user names) will be saying how much they love it, cuz they are gay like that…i can’t wait for r11 good job
I can’t wait for R300 to come out when it finally runs full speed, it should be here with the release of the ps4 in about 7 years. Untill then i’ll be waiting
All great things take Time.
Wait and Greatness shall be unveiled.
sweet.just in time for finals. more things to distract me from getting me degree lol.
lol
Some one can do convert project 64 to psp… this is working good at pc.. perhaps also on psp.. thankyou
A 3DO Emu would be pretty badass, I still have all my CD’s. I dont know the Specs of that machine offhand…
Im a Electronic Tecnicion and iven a super good programer well have problems using all resources of psp hardware. StrmnNrmn is probably one of them.
About the coment of Koji
2007-04-30 15:22:42. That is roung. a AMD - K6 processor can run project 64 full speed so is not a problem of CPU SPEED, The psp resources are lockd by software. So is a question of time untill they breack the lock Sorry about mi bad inglish =P
Can’t wait! LOVED LAST RELEASE!
4 people who still use R10 … use these settings, the games will Run pretty good: ones the game starts, press Select, press R till the settings screen, choose Show Framerate, Screen Size the Smallest, Framerate at 2, and Duh No sound. :P
That’ll u’re N64 games Run faster +5 - 10%
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! *R11 comming soon
I dont understand why you guys complain about daedalus. yes it runs slow, and doesnt work on some roms, but a man is devoting his free time when he could be doing something more fun, and is creating something that we all want. Now, whats the problem with that? Put yourself in his position, how would u feel if ur using ur free time to make something for the public and some assholes keep saying that ur work sucks? If you dont like it then dont use it and STFU!
BTW StrmnNrmn your a great guy for doing this, keep up the good work!
To all you idiots that are complaining about speed and compatibility: What right do you have to say anything against the guy thats going this for free. If i was the creator and saw your guys lack of appreciation, I’d figure you are were not worth my time. Being that most of you are 11-13 year old retarded kids, you obviously have forgotten the progress, (or weren’t born yet) that took place from Ultra HLE, Nemu64, and all the way to Project 64. It takes time and doesn’t magically work 60fps with 44khz from version 1.0 beta. Seriously people do you take the time to read what your writing sometimes?
woah woah woah give him a break hes doing the best he can hes only 1 man
guys this is quality even for those who don’t like the 64 it’s still an amazing feat. those that say its impossible thats not necessarily true its just impossible in the way you imagining doing it. he might be thinking of a completely different way. for those that say an emulator needs 10% more processor speed to play at full speed thats not neccessarily true either. for instance the emulator
that r11 was based on needed a proccessor that needed to be 10% more powerful but obviously after all the tweaks new code etc that will be maybe 5% after more tweak etc it will be more realistic dont forget the psp does have a more powerfull processor than the 64 so it can be done. it also doesnt need to produce hi quality graphics on a huge screen just a small one. look at the difference in file size on a normal picture that look
s great on a huge screen it fairly large but to put it on your psp you can greatly reduce the resolution and quality to look great on the psp still and it will have a much smaller file size. so all sorts of things like that give us hope as to full speed daedlus
ps sorry for the rant
