Daedalus R12 update: GoldenEye, done; next stop, Super Smash Bros.

Daedalus update - Image 1


Glad to see more updates from StrmnNrmn today. We're starting to believe that the more we're given updates on the progress of developing his homebrew N64 emulator Daedalus R12, the more a lot of us are getting excited for it. This time around, it directly concerns GoldenEye (and indirectly Super Smash Bros. as well).

Last we heard, he had been able to run GoldenEye on the WIP R12 version that he has right now (note: GoldenEye used to work in previous Daedalus version, but somehow botched itself up in further releases), however this only worked with dynarec disabled. That's the biggest issue of running GoldenEye on the emulator, really: dynarec was the root of the problem.

Cool beans. He's been able to progress with this bug fixing. Despite the major drawbacks of the dynarec bug, StrmnNrmn has actually already been able to fix it by just implementing one line of code! (yeah, the biggest problems are solved by the simplest solutions):

I'm pleased to say that GoldenEye is now running fine with dynarec, so it now boots and runs the intro sequence very quickly. Although the intro and menu run at around 30-60fps, in-game is still very slow (around 5-8fps) so I need to profile this and see what's going on.


So, where do we go from here? GoldenEye, done. Next stop...? StrmnNrmn is now looking forward to the future, stating:

I'm hoping that it will fix dynarec issues with a few other roms too. Unfortunately it looks like the bug which is preventing dynarec working with Super Smash Bros. is a different issue, so I'll have to spend some more time investigating that.


Great. The dynarec bug fix had potentially hit more than just one bird after all: one stone hitting a lot of other birds, except, as he says, Super Smash Bros. His speculation on SSB is that the problem "has something to do with how traces are selected and the resulting fragments are linked together."

Let's remain hopeful, guys. If these updates are any indication of StrmnNrmn's homebrew dev capabilities, Daedalus R12 is looking like the most promising in the bunch. We'll most probably get an update on his progress with SSB sometime next week, so keep your eyes peeled!

Next stop is Super Smash Bros. Once he gets that done, hopefully he can get Legends of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (not that I'm rushing)!

In the last several versions I had no luck saving so I still haven't bothered to try much of anything since the two games I did try didn't work.



Still though, this is great news and I look forward to every update.

Hey,you should try and make battle tanx run next.The game ran at 60 fps on the 64,so it should be the same on the psp.

# Keep dreaming...Guest 2007-05-15 15:36
He will probably add support for many more games, but none of them will run at 60fps...



if you think 2-8FPS is playable.. then you will be very happy!

# hmmGuest 2007-05-15 15:44
why doesnt he work on one game at a time.



like make the emulator for just one game and release it as a stand alone emulator exclusively just for that game, instead of trying to just getting it to boot and then going on to the next fanboy game.

We want a N64 emulator. You cant play n64 games on a ps1 emu you f***ing retard. Oh, and by the way, we all know theres a perfect ps1 emu. Is it a crime that we want a decent running n64 emu. Again, shut up, its free, so dont complain.

# Goldeneye is a high-end game for N64Guest 2007-05-15 19:16
I remember Goldeneye was one of the few games that had troubles running smoothly with PJ64 so the fact that Daedalus even got it in game at a few fps is an accomplishment. Although, I would really like Daedalus to focus on speed more with current compatible games and save state would be nice too!

# Uh Oh....Guest 2007-05-15 19:21
Lol what made you think R17 was out? Check here first, as for your psp unless you have CF then your as dead as dead.

If you do have CF then hold R while turning on your psp and then go to USB, get a 3.30 OE-A Flasher and a DATA.DXAR and reflash.

# Gawd, this is why Sony updates.Guest 2007-05-15 21:55
You can't call this homebrew. Its an emulator that uses illegal roms. And you people complaining about not being able to use Nintendo's game on your PSP are just...I dunno...giving me a headache. I'm tired of seeing piracy on this blog being advertised as homebrew. Clearly the homebrew community, as I have witnessed, is mostly about emulation. I'll go back to playing Loco Roco on my PSP, and Tetris on my DS, and take this feed off my rss. Bye.

Tards, the all of you except StrmnNrmn of course. Now I am off to the head, so leave me in peace for a couple minutes depending on the situation at hand. I most likely will be busy, so don't expect instant responses to the havings of my ongoings. I will resume commensment upon the timing of the current situation. . . . . .sigh

# Zelda, zelda, zelda.Guest 2007-05-16 04:43
Why don't you just marry Zelda? If there was a Zelda game where you had a PP7 instead of a sword, Dam instead of Hyrule and you played as James Bond and it was called Goldeneye, then I'd want Zelda on Daedalus.



Forget it guys, a 32 MB rom is an extremely tall order. Don't expect it in the immediate future.

# Maybe Indepence isn't the best bet.Guest 2007-05-16 06:26
Is it just StrmnNrmn working on this? Is any source-code available that could allow someone to partner up? Two, 3, 4 heads are better than one.

We're not pirates. We're all honest people who backup their own roms and don't download them off the internet.

The fact that those games will run on Daedalus is fine, but they run so bad that no normal player is interested, only a geek.



I'll come back when R20 is releases, maybe some progression is then made.
