Daedalus R7 Info - Unbelievable! |
Ó

Once you read this article, you will probably want to marry StrmnNrmn for being so great at what he does. However, let us try not to get too excited and feel like we have to resort to that to calm our "joys". StrmnNrmn has been very busy this week on the next version of Daedalus (v7), and this hard work paid off for him and even us!
While working diligently on Daedalus last weekend, he achieved both a speed increase and an increase in stability on 1.00 firmware. Now, a few percent increase in speed may not cover it for many of you at this point, but StrmnNrmn's blog entries just continued to pile onto us throughout the week. As of writing this article, the Daedalus v7 has experienced a 22-26% overall speed increase! Now, if that isn't making you jump up in and out of your computer chairs, I do not know what will. This is a great achievement for under a weeks worth, and this will finally be something to be truly proud of!
However, with great achievements, there have been great struggles. While attempting to improve his emulator by placing "things" in and taking things out, he seemed to hit something bad, very bad. This "something" caused Mario 64 to glitch up very early on (before entering the castle) and made the game impossible to play. However, StrmnNrmn is currently looking at a fix for this, and feels very confident that this will be solved!

wow this is amazing!
Didn't this site already prove not to jump to conclusions with zombies crap?
it's funny how the article says 'impossible to play' yet every game is impossible to play at an even decent frame rate. Once games are playable, let me know.
sounds promising, now get back to getting me starfox 64 full speed soldier, NOW!
this is awesome news, keep up the good work dude and dont take ny notice of ponces like kyle above me, hes the very definition of a teen n00b, kyle, if you got nothing better to say, STFU and leave, you ass monkey, i would kick your ass you retard, these devs put loads of work into there work for people like you and bashing them is not appreciated, so put an end to it and quit being a jerk lowlife you stupid panzee.
to qj.net the speed increase is actually more than what you wrote its actually 25%-28% increase in speed because frist he had a 10%-12% increase then it was a 5%-6% and now its a 10%, add it up and you got a 25%-28% speed increase. great job strmnnrmn.
StrmnNrmn has proved himself to be reliable time and time again. If he says he's obtained a 26% speed increase, I believe him //-_\\\
I think I just ejaculated in my pants...
think kyle ment that in a good way, i dont think he was being sarcastic.
CAN'T WAIT FOR RELEASE!!!
We now go from 6fps to 8.25fps! ITS A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE!
can it run full speed?if cant,then now how fast it can be?60%?70?
Actually i was being sarcastic number 11, number 5 is right, i can be such a retard sometimes, yes i am only 13, good guess, and im a ***** too, sorry everyone, i will now bow my head in shame for the rest of my life. Number 5 made me see the light, i thank you, you are my GOD.
You are so ungrateful and demanding. StrmnNrmn does not have to do anything for you and why would he if you are just going to act like that.
anyways....
keep up the good work StrmnNrmn. I'm looking forward to the next release.
the point of post like these is to show you that progress is being made... that eventaully we will have a full speed emulator for some time.. so instead of flaming and saying its a useless post.. say thank u to StrmnNrmn for attempting this and moving us closer to a n64 emulator :)
-Emir
this sucks mario was the only semi playable game
im pretty sure its going to make a big jump in fps. ok a normal n64 emu runs about 60fps, so 26% out of 60fps is like about between 15-20fps add this to the fps in r6 and you get most games to run from 20-30fps in r7.
You sure that he doesnt mean that it provides a 22% speed boost to the already constant 6fps? It would make a lot more sense to add the speed increase to the established speed. (I.E. 6fps->8.25fps)
kep on doing the good work StmnNrmn
hey amir..... flame flame!!!
you've been flamed
If you go to his website it is actully a 28%-32% speed increase!
flamer.. i love you!
((gives you half a cookie))
cant wait till i use this on mah psp
i thought 1.5 had the same kernal access as 1.0 so why does this work on 1.0 not 1.5? or did i misread?
think he means he added support for 1.o fw...
on strmnnrmn's blog it says that he got a speed increase of 22%-28% overall in the n64 emulator not from r6, so im pretty sure im right, at least i hope im right.
So how has this news changed from Sunday's post about the exact same update on his blog? Seems like QJ is just hyping the same thing over again for attention.
Sundays post --> http://pspupdates.qj.net/Daedalus-Continues-to-Improve/pg/49/aid/59829
i hope your right to but even roughly 20% of 60 fps is about 15 fps and i think i might be able to play a game at those speeds
thats 10-12 speed up now it's double
edit of my last post i meant 35
If mario is the only fully speed playable game then I'll play it on my psp.
No... What I mean is that he said 25% fps increase (Which is currently around 6fps) 25% of 6 is about 1.5, so 6 + 1.5 = 7.5fps (New speed)
where does it say in his blog he has a 22-26% speed increase? hmm..
what a piece of crap. ill download this when the games are playable.
soon i will be able to use this emulator but right now i got a 2.70 and there making a downgrader for it and they already got proof of it loading just not working yet sooo ill be patient and not upgrade
If you just go to his website and add up the posts like this. 5-6% increase+10-12% increase+10-12% increase= 25%-30% speed increase total.
If you just go to his website and add up the posts like this. 5-6% increase+10-12% increase+10-12% increase= 25%-30% speed increase total.
VERY GOOD!!
why isnt it *****ing out yet.
Hopefully we can see a full speed run of both this emulator and the GBA one that zx-81's working on by the end of this year!
OF COURSE ITS CONFIRMED BECAUSE IM THE NEW DEVELPOER ON THE NEW N64... Im currently working on porting the 1964 emulator which is actually turning out quite great!!! Ive already had a frame rate of 46FPs... Im almost at full speed but there is a few glitches. I will release beta very soon... Look out for it peeps!
YEAH Post 64 ist the best ever ^^
Im a holy guy!!
this sounds great man good job.
And i dont understand whats the point of saying 1st post. no sh*t we can see that.
You guys ever heard of compounding interest?
If they're really percentage increases on top of each other (and they probably are, because it's not as if he tries all of these modifications separately on top of the last release) then you can't just add them together. Let's go by what he originally said for speed, 7-10%, the 10-12% report was on memory and probably an error when said for speed later. Let's go with the lower ends first, and say N is the original speed.
(N + (N * 0.07)) = N2 = 1.07N
(N2 + (N2 * 0.05)) = N3 = 1.05N2
(N3 + (N3 * 0.10)) = N4 = 1.10N3
So 1.10 * 1.05 * 1.07 = 1.23585
Upper limit is 1.10 * 1.06 * 1.10 = 1.2826
So the speed increase is 23.5% to 28.3%, if you just add them you get 0.10 + 0.05 + 0.07 = 22% to 0.10 + 0.06 + 0.10, 26%. That's the speed improvement on top of what it gets currently of course, it has nothing to do with the full speed of the ROM.
But of course these numbers are all very rough and I doubt they work for more than a few ROMs, and even then are probably dependant on what the game is doing....
OMG QJ, let's see the facts.
Approximately 25% speed increase?
So if a rom would run at 10FPS (and they mostly don't get that), it would be about 12-13. WHAT AN AMAZING SPEED INCREASE!!!
NOT
About the calculation of speed increase wrong - it isn't. Strmn relates back to the wrong type of speed increase in his 3rd blog entry down - he says there was a 10-12% increase in speed from the weekends, but if you look back, there was a 10-12% decrease in memory usage and a 7-10% increase in speed ;)
Don't worry, I do my math.
Also, to clarify this for several users - Although the percentages are rather high, they are very low ;) This speed increase brings about a max of 3fps speed increase over the previous versions
does it play gba games ?
wow u r really noob..it is a n64 emulator why wud it play gba rom???? wow....stupidity at its highest level
OMFG call me back in 5 years when the framerate will be decently and playable (even the snes is not 100 % emulated yet, so the N64 can wait...
when i see what sorts of graphs the psp can do (monster hunter, burnout)
- why aren't dumped dev. kits for homebrew devs???? unfair world...
Really nice work StrmnNrmn.
strmnrmn, you are the man, youve done excellent work on this emu, keep up the fabulous work!
re4ryu
Nice work! although u have no idea who this is but that rarely matters anywyas we all hope ( all the normal people anyways) that u continue on ur Framespeed Cuz it aint that high ...YET but it will Keep up the good work!
People = *****
thnaks man for working so hard, keep it up!
Excellent work dude please keep it up!!
Hi Everybody
You should all join up to www.eternal-psp.vze.com
It has a wicked forum site aswell.
Thanks
P.S I hope N64 runs at full speed someday on the PSP
don't mind the retards here bashing your emulator. I'd like to see them code their own emulator and see how fast they get it running.
That's such good news, thanks so much for working so hard towards a real N64 emulator for the PSP. And everyone said it was impossible!
I say just release details and info about the emulator when its completely finished and he can't do anything else. Cuz honestly its getting me pissed to see lil R6 and R7 revisions and no download. What the hell is that. If its running 20% faster why isnt there a download to prove it ? Is QJ.net trying to get more people to come to the site or something ?
send me an email when it gets working full speed....
justinp@polygra phics.com
ok to all you *****s out there complaining about the speed increase may be at the most 3fps should be happy instead of *****s i mean hell this thing is as good as a gba which i believe the 64 is twice as powerful as a gba(gba = 32 bits (or whatever there called) 64 well that equals 64 bits hence n64) it's a mericle that he's even got it to be as good of fps as the gba maybe even better so go back and suck you shemale mom's ***** and stop complaining at least it's better then nutin!!!!
Hah! I told everybody this from the start! They didnt understand it.
also what happened to monkey's 64 did he just drop out of the race?
super mario 64 doesnt work??
*cry*
He's currently working on his contest entry (which will be good) and his new engine (KohKae) which will be used for 1. Iris and 2. His new Beat'em up.
So ya, he's kinda busy right now =]
Can someone clear this up for me.
Does this work on 1.5 cuz in the thing it says 1.0??????
who the hell writes this news articles? they get such a huge boner over something like an n64 emulator... get a life.
@89
MY BOWN MEENZ IM REDY 4 S3X. WILL J00 S3X ME? I WILL S3X J00!
No, ofcourse you cant.
www.eternal-psp.vze.com Rules
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
good to see improvements on this emu, if only psmonkey continued his emulator, who knows where it would be at...
Ok, i have a 2.8 PSP, homebrew got boring for me... ANYWAY
you guys have to expect that it takes time for a fully running emulator, N64 isn't even perfect on the computers yet. With the PSP's low processing speed and RAM, there may be no chance of full speed, but don't give up hope, you can still prove me wrong. Great Work!
ok seriously all you bashing on this emulator should commit suicide to make this world a better place. even though a 28-32% increase is about 8.32 fps more or w.e it still takes a lot of hard work to accomplish that. its too bad the new bug is hanging the roms though (for all of you who keep asking why theres no r7 yet), the only question i have is why not release the source code for other devs to take a look at to find a solution to the problem??
If you´re not a developer (or have no interest in it)
Then just ignore these updates, until it says,
"Full Speed" in the headline.
That way, you won´t be disapointed, and we don´t have to read comments like,
"TIS S JUS CRAP!!1337GHJ"
because such comments aren´t really what we call contructive!
man you call me a dummy for playin that emu 5 hours straight i don't care,but with this next daedalus build it won't be going in vein.i cant wait to be able to play chameleon twist 1 and 2 OH and @ #19 he wasnt being demanding his name has sergant in it which implies he must be demanding but in a way he was just asking .
This is far from spectacular. Spectacular would be a 22FPS increase.
Good job my friend..
this guy should win the pring-summer homebrew compet... what you think ppl???
cant wait to see that improvement on my psp!
1.50 for ever!!!
to #96...
I FU**ING DARE YOU TO DO BETTER THAN THAT.. SERIOUSLY!
I would honestly like to see you #98 do better i would and then release your "perfect" emlator for us all

can you download files off rapidshare directly from your psp web browser? i've tried from megaupload and file factory and it dosn't work. does anybody know of any upload/ download sites that do work from ur psp web browser. PLEASE I NEED TO KNOW REALLY SOON
Congrats StrmnNrmn!! Sod the ungratefull ones a huge majority of us - appreciate your work! All the other commenters are probably under 12 - they sound like it! I WANT 100% speed now or ill ***** myself!!
ummm.... 28% up from... lets say the best framerate of 20fps. 28% of 20 = 5.6 fps. Okay.... well it seems to me that saying 28% is just a fancy way of saying a marginal speed increase.
But i'm not bashing strmnNrmn. He wasn't the one proclaiming that R7 will be the end-all solution to n64 emulation on psp...
(i'm bashing qj....*****s)
oh, and WHY HAVE MARIO IN THE PICTURE IF Mario 64 isnt supported?

ATTENTION Qj: I sent you my latest build 22 hours ago but you haven't updated my article or made a new one about the new build. My latest build contains 25 titles tested with full "missing_mux". I sent you guys two "tips", did you recieve them? What's going on? Here's a link to my latest build.
http://rapidshare.de/files/27244220/Captain_Morgan_s_Daedalus_R6_Compatability_List.zip.html
I think strmnrmn is the hell of a great job here.
Think about it,
in R6 it´s around 10 - 15 FPS in Super Mario64, with very few graphical glitches, inside the castle.
N64 emu on PSP, was considered impossible once!
OMG #100 DID YOU EVEN READ WHAT HE POSTED! HE JUST SAID THAT THE COMMENTS WERE UNCONSTRUCTIVE, HE WASN'T BASHING. SO STFU AND READ OTHERS POSTS BEFORE YOU POST ***** NUT.
20 percent that means 3-4 more fps in mario
The most I got in Mario Kart was 23.1 fps. So that means about 6 more fps. In StrmnNrmn's blog I am known as Mario Kart God.
that's good news! Take that, everyone who says we'll never have full speed. I think R8 or R9 could have it for a few games
eat that Zombi146 you piece of monkey *****
Yeah that's called not portable! Even if u have a laptop it not gonna be able to be handheld! U SUK ZOMBI!

105: Mario 64 is supported
I actually notice a difference between 4 fps and 7 fps.
Also sometimes it gets messed up and says "Framerate 581.78" or something like that.
I sent ANOTHER tip to pspupdates, I'm not sure what they're doing. But I added some touch ups and more screens to the Mario Kart section. Special thanks to Mario Kart God, but as you know him here as MiddleManiac. I got to go to work Qj I hope you have an article here by the time I get off.
http://rapidshare.de/files/27368510/Captain_Morgan_s_Daedalus_R6_Compatability_List.zip.html
there loads of comments which are nonsense!!! come on make constructive comments!!!
anyway goodwork Strmm... u r really working hard..lots of updates in such short times....really cool...keep it on
Morgan shut up i dnt wanna here you give recognition to yur self 4 anything! girls are not good gamers nor anything in the gaming world exept 4 geekS! morgan i bet yur a 190 pound chick who trys toi impreess the guys that you play games! well if yur such a gamer look 4 me on Halo2 and i will pown you, and i willl record it just to show that chicks suck ass at agmes!!!!
So what? This sort of information does not require such a "pop-out" title.
He works, he gets results, big *****ing woop.
I have been coming here ever since this netowrk of sites was created and just in the past half year or so you have gone so far downhill I think it impossible you could ever regain the popularity you had.
quit *****ing, seriously! maybe to anyone whos never coded before a speed increase such as this isnt that impressive, but in reality it is no easy feat, especially with the super-limited amount of ram the psp has to work with.
it will never work. thats been done before, heck i could make that and say "its a work in progress". sorry but its never gonna happen. so go ***** yourself.
keep on the good working. I love you man!
i'm sure that a 25% increase will be pleasantly noticeable in the next release
i bet if he released his emulator in about 4weeks time we would be playing games at 17-20fps on average....
fun fun fun
wooot
strmnnrmn you should put the option to frame skip and change the cpu speed, this should speed up the emulator alittle more. also is this emulator in user mode or kernel mode? keep up the good work.
Does anyone know what game work so far??
Does Super Smash Brother work so far?? Can someone list all the games that works....
And I bet you just have girls lining up to see you huh... You`re probably a typical skinny ass 15 yr old 120 pound loser who would have sex with Halo 2 if it was human. So shaddap.
Anyways, this is sounds awesome. Sure its not the best increase in fps, but really ANY increase is a good one. Keep up Str-w`e your name is lol. Sorry, I don`t want to mispell it
this is never gonna work , if it was going to work it would be working by now : n64 emulation is realy hard : the pc version is not quite there yet , so to all the people who think this is gonna let you play all the n64 games full speed , that is not going to happen , but well done for trying to get a 333 proc running an n64 emualtor full speed, and anybody who says the pc version works is just lying to themselves, this kinda thing happened with the zodiac scene(your too young to remember) with the zodiac they tried to get it running a ps1, i had toshinden running on it at about 2 fps it looked cool but its useless, we should be looking forward to the new 3d engines that have been offred to us , new games will be written by the talented coders who are wasting there time trying to do the impossible, this is not a neg post , i understand what the coder is trying to do (mostly ) but please use your talents for more productive aims : gba can be done , you knows it
I'm not a female you clown, Morgan isnt' a one gender name. It actually started as a male name but over the years has become both. My username is Captain Morgan, that sounds like a female to you? For example Captain Morgan the rum.
Number 131 download this to see which games work!
http://rapidshare.de/files/27244220/Captain_Morgan_s_Daedalus_R6_Compatability_List.zip.html
wow..now this is somthing to be proud of..great job...
HEY MORGAN DID STRMMNNRMMN TELL YOU WHEN ABOUT IS R7 COMING OUT??? THANKS
I'm not going to flame the developer since I don't know him personally. But the updates are just talk no substantle evidence or a least a video to show some of his progress. However I'll continue to play the n64 on my pc and laptop until a beta is released or a full release. But goodluck on your project.
after this all we need is another speed update of atleast 5fps more and im sure he could add sound
'Morgan shut up i dnt wanna here you give recognition to yur self 4 anything! girls are not good gamers nor anything in the gaming world exept 4 geekS! morgan i bet yur a 190 pound chick who trys toi impreess the guys that you play games! well if yur such a gamer look 4 me on Halo2 and i will pown you, and i willl record it just to show that chicks suck ass at agmes!!!!'
You're an idiot and a sexist, I'm kinda thinking you're a mysoginist as well. Learn to spell before you insult him/her, idiots like you make the community bad. You sound like a guy who would rather jerk off to halo 2 than let a girl take you out of the house away from mommy.
to # 133
You are a complete idiot. Bigger than the mysoginist, one everyone should know this; You can't start a project and finish it in one day. Its impossible and cheap, even for profressionals with companies. On my pc the n64 works at full speed, you may have a crappy cheap pc that your parents bought you. A true coder must do it correctly no one wants a cheap easy emulator coded in one day and it only works with one rom. The rom being a very small .98kb file
That's right ladies and gentlemen. And you'll find plenty of it here. See above.
StrmnNrmn, I am hella HELLA excited for the next release. I already play Mario 64 a hell of a lot as it is, and I only get 6-10 frames the whole time. I've also found that I don't crash if I turn off dynarec. 20-25% increase in the space of a week is a HUGE quantum leap, congratulations and good luck with the final version!
yes !!!!!
will this n64 emulator be able to play games which require an expansion pack. e.g donkey kong 64?
its not that im hating or anything but
i wont believe till i try it out
keep it up i'll be watching to see what comes of this :)
i have douts that any game running at 30fps with sound is possible tho my xbox can't even run zelda ott or mario kart that good but i guess we will see
im impressed that u r getting this far with the n64 emu on the psp. keep on working your hardest and ignore this ungrateful bastards.
lol, you must be the smartest man alive, i mean look at what you've accomplished...picking on innocent gamers with opinions that vary from yours, using "big" words like "mysoginist", haha. Chill dude, you're in a PSP forum. You're not God of the gamers. n00b.
