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!

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....

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

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

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!

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!

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?

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!

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.

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.

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

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!
