Daedalus R13 Coming Soon, Real Soon (For Real)

greg | October 25, 2007

If you’re anything like me, you’ve been constantly refreshing StrmnNrmn’s blog in hopes the release of Daedalus R13 appears. And I’m sorry to say, you still need to wait, just a bit longer… Believe me, I’d rather be posting the actual download instead of saying, “try Daedalus R12 in the meantime.”

R13 is almost ready for prime time, according to StrmnNrmn’s latest blog update. It’s noted that the newly introduced savestates are working well and its current implementation provides for 10 save slots — shared across all roms. You will have the ability to save to & load from any slot at any given time.

Furthermore…

There are just a couple of things I need to finish off now before I can release. Firstly I need to check if the savestate you’re loading is for a different rom than is currently loaded. If this is the case I need to scan through your available roms looking for the correct one, and load it. To make this efficient I need to get the RomDB which I use for the PC build working on the PSP.

The second thing I need to do is come up with a decent way of linking some metadata to the savestate so I can show this in the UI. Just simple stuff like the full name of the rom, time the savestate was created and the total time spent playing when it was created. I figure without this information it’ll be quite difficult to figure out what it stored in each savestate slot. The alternative is to add a text entry system to the UI so you can name each savestate, but I think this will just delay things even more.

So, in the meantime, give Daedalus R12 a try. ;)

@ Joe,

If you could read you should know that the savestate update is just one of the few things he has updated. We don’t know what the others are to make things clear.

if youve been following with the updates he posted youd know that there is much more than savestates but a 20-25% speedup which is probably 2-5 frames faster, sorry im not good with mad

Having savestate will speed up development for everything else though. It’s a very useful tool.

2007-10-25 20:04:07

come on. i mean, strmnnrmn should be working on speed more than save games. there is no point in save states until the speed is descent.

Have never used this emu yet. How does it map the buttons? The psp has two less buttons than the N64, no?

Comment by Yoshi

Id imagine the c buttons would be swapped to the D pad or something… only a few games used the D pad…

2007-10-25 23:34:05

ive said it before…….but if i told everyone that i was working on a PS2 emulator, you twits would all be creamin your pants at the idea, and be amazed when i release a program that displays the Playstation Logo….then release 22 versions of it with a 2 frame per second increase. Then you would say “At Least He’s Trying” Pfft, Anyone can Try ! and no sorry, im not working on a ps2 emulator cuz i know its not possible.

suck on ma junk beotch !

Comment by Pino
2007-10-26 00:01:54

Your name really suits you. You have made a total ass of your self. And how is the PS2 in any way similar to the N64? The PS2 is pretty much not gonna happen with the hardware limitations and the amount of work it would require. The N64 on the other hand is actually possible with time. So stop jacking off to your internet porn so much and just try to stop being a negative douche.

Comment by gregerson316
2007-10-26 11:31:40

And BTW, if you were to make any type of emulator, it probably would take you 22 updates, at least, to get a 2 fps increase. Hes only done 12 updates and the speed has increased every time. Yes it may be slow now, but give it time and it will be good. To everybody saying that savestate is useless and pointless, its not. It will help Strmnrmn make better and quicker updates. There is also a speed increase. So everyone stop talking $hit cause you cant do any better.
Strmnrmn, dont listen to these retards that are flaming you, there just jealous.

 
Comment by L
2007-10-26 12:38:57

Ya know what? I’m still complaining about it being slow, yeah, but… The first release? Do you remember that? Like… 3-4fps on mario 64 with almost… or I think… NO textures at all.

And now it runs at an average of 28-34fps with textures. So, this is progress, so shut the *uck up.

Comment by gregerson316
2007-10-26 15:23:18

I 110% agree! PPL are b!tchin about it being slow, when they should realize that its has been good progress. It has only taken about a year to get this far. Nobody else could have done better. Just think of Strmnrmn as the Dark Alex of Deadalus 64.

2007-10-26 00:32:42

i believe the daedalus is a great emulator though i must agree with some of the negative guys here, instead of working with save state he should probably most worry himself about making this actually playable the FR is not playable IMO of course however im sure with time he will make this possible the guy creating/working on D13 is very good but IMO he has to get a couple priorities straight, anyways that my two cents take it however you want i dont really care cause im sure i wont read this page ever again lol well keep up the good work strmn gl with creating the best 64 emu for psp

 
Comment by nate1936
2007-10-26 00:54:06

I think sound should be implemented. The sound at its current state sucks, and is the reason I dont play Daedalus much. Super Smash bros runs at 100% Mario Cart runs at 100% but when you turn sound on, the games go to shits? WTF is that about? And people complaining about games running bad, TRY to find another rom with minimal compression. They work better.
Well thats all I have to say.

O yea and they should get ocarina of time working too. :P

pfft, i tried r11 a long time ago, its gay, none of my games worked, he should work on getting games to actually RUN before he puts a bunch of other shit in. these guys are right, wats the point of savestate if you cant play the game anyways… ill come back when perfect dark or goldeneye is playable. (never)

Comment by gregerson316
2007-10-26 11:35:31

You must like shitty games. And he has got more games to work, learn to research and read his blog before making an ass of yourself. And I hope that you never come back.

good to see there has been a decent amount of work carried out before releases so R13 should have some major bugs ironed out.but as we know you may not see too much of an improvment from R12 ,this is becase you arent supposed to as its behind the scenes work.

saying that tho ,all of these optimizations and features create a more stable emulator and with more releases that focus on other aspects like speed and compatibility we will see a very nice working n64 emulator for psp,another thing is the sound issue ,you gotta know that sound isnt as important in emulation especialy as it can more easily be emulated and optimised when a later more fully fledged emulator is created,and to think that daedalus uses plugin based sound to begin with ,this can be seen as a temporary messure untill other emulator status is refined.

i still think game compatibility should be 1st on the list tho, even if its for the top 10/15 n64 games ,then build around it.

great work ,and never give up.

I said the same thing at the last release of this emulator… and everyone got all pissy.. now I see everyone is saying the same thing finally…
How about a speed update? Whats the point of working on save states when its to slow to enjoy a game to even make it to a save spot. I guess for now I am stuck with the xbox n64 emulator lol.

i hope soon..i dont mean to be greedy about the hole thing but when one is realeasing something that doesent play 100% i guess you start wanting them to do it right after a while people start geting hunggry and impationt. its like teasing.. so you expect more.. the only game i care about is zelda.. anything alse i dont care about.. i can play it on pc yeah but its a lot more fun playing on a hand heald system.

Great now we can save all the shitty slow ass games woo hoo!! I’ll wait for Daedulus 100, maybe, just maybe then I play Mario with a decent framerate, and possibly even the sound at the same time? That would be swell. I now it’s probably painstaking to write code or whatever and I imagine very time consuming, but fuck the features, give us speed and sound!! All the features in the goddamn world ain’t gonna be any good if the fucking games are unplayable.

So…yeah…he has given all of his updates that he does…if he just popped out with no updates and came out with Daedalus instead of Daedalus with all the R1-R50, everyone wouldn’t have any problems. All he is doing is being a great guy by letting us be the beta testers and you guys are acting like it’s the finished product. Keep up the good work StrmnNrmn.

I agree James. If you a-holes want faster frame rate do it yourself. Making this is his hobby imo. Its not like he gets paid to do it or anything. If he wants savestates over speed so be it.

Fuck you, all you ungreatful twats. At least he’s fucking trying. And all you people fucking whining about save states instead of compatibility - SAVE STATES WILL HELP HIM FIX BUGS!!!!! As he can jump STRAIGHT to where an app crashes. So, what would you rather have? Him keep the save states for his debug builds only, or share it with you aswell?

I know what I’d choose.

Stop being twats, and realise that he doesn’t owe you anything - and that he’s improving it all the time. So STOP FUCKING BITCHING.

i dont even know if it is actualy “possible” to get any N64 game, and by this i mean somthing like “conkers bad fur day” or “perfect dark” to run at fullspeed on a psp, it takes a pretty powerfull PC to get these running nicely, nevermind a fucking PSP for craps sake..if it is possible then its gonna take him fucking ages, years even, so be patient twats hes trying his best
