The talented and exceedingly skilled team behind the Nintendo 64 emulation project has issued an update for DaedalusX64 Beta 2. Kreationz notes there is nothing major concerning speed or the like; this update primarily focuses on stability, other bug fixes, and includes some prep work for future versions. It’s recommended you upgrade regardless.

Nintendo 64 emulation has never looked so fresh, so smooth… That’s DaedalusX64 Beta 2 baby, and it’s near… Or so we hope.

Well, really, this is a video of revision 306, a debug build from the team’s subversion repository. Wally does mention Beta 2 is coming soon though, and when it’s fully primed for release, you know where she’ll be.

There’s been much skepticism over the years concerning N64 emulation, especially that on the PSP. But now, prepare yourself for impact — the DaedalusX64 team has pulled off quite the feat:

Things are indeed shaping up nicely. The beta 2 release is imminent; the team still has some bugs to work out before it’s made official.

Now everyone sing — what what, in the nonbeliever’s butt.

StrmnNrmn, whom you know as the original author of the Daedalus N64 emulator port, has returned to the scene with great regard for the new DaedalusX64 project. Well I shouldn’t say returned, he’s just been laying low limo tint rollin’ deep like the President… Yeah, he’s been busy.

Now as Kreationz reports via QJ: StrmnNrmn was and still is working on the Daedalus project. He’s been continuing his work on the original port, as well lending his expertise and insight to the other DaedalusX64 team members. Good lookin’ out.

And if you haven’t tried Daedalus and/or DaedalusX64 yet…
