Daedalus R8 Released! |
Ó
The most talked-about emulator has received yet another update from its dedicated coder - StrmnNrmn. StrmnNrmn told us previously that we would receive this build with less features and more optimizations, and that is exactly what we got. This coding-machine managed to get the new clipping method working and actually excerpts better results and is more efficient.
We've already seen a few user-created Daedalus R7's with the modified line that would provide a significant increase in speed, and this version has that fix along with many others! This is, as you would expect, the fastest version of Daedalus available and is looking better and better each release. Mario is now fully playable (in my opinion) and has come a long way since the initial release. The following has been changed in this new version (R8) of Daedalus -
- [^] Replaced all uses of sceCtrlReadBufferPositive with sceCtrlPeekBufferPositive.
- [^] Various known value optimisations for the dynamic recompilation engine.
- [^] Various texture cache optimisations and rendering optimisations.
- [+] Implemented a new clipping method which is more efficient and gives better results.
- [-] Removed 'tesselate large triangles' setting.
- [+] Added option to reset emulator to the main menu.
- [^] No longer use index buffers for rendering.
- [^] Implement matrix multiplication using VFPU.
- [^] Implement vertex transform and lighting code using VFPU.
- [^] Implement clipping code using VFPU.
- [^] Minor AddTri optimisations.
- [^] Free background and font textures while emulator is running to free VRAM.
- [!] Fixed bug in default controller config (c-down and dpad-down were broken)

Tried it and mario goes to 30 in the fountain area of the castle
Woot
First post ever
Finally been waiting for this 4 ever
I never understand how these updates get posted but the most obvious question is never answered along that huge list of improvements: Is it playable yet? Does the audo work?
op some tracks in mariokart are quite playable (and were in R7...) the audio would be in the improvements list...
I've been waiting for this! FINALY He releases it. Great work.
sweeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeet
wow,that was quick! how does it play? lol@#2.someone stole his glory.
sweeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeet
nice i tried those pre-R8 releases and they didnt do much. looking at the changes i know there'll be a noticable speed increase.
For those of you with much higher standards, such as wanting audio at this stage - no it wont be here. But its one step closer. And i believe strmnnrmn can achieve a decent end product by the end of this ride. But at the moment we're still going!
i'm waiting for R10¨!
Mario 64 is playable - WOW! No sound yet - but everything is going in the right direction! Thanks for the update!
Keep up the great work!
i just tested this and there are immediate noticable differences. i tested mario 64 and immediately it boots a lot faste
outside in the garden i used to get 11/12fps. Right now im getting 22fps max, and 13fps at the very least. On average you'll get about 17fps outside - very playable. It starts off low then you'll notice speed rising quickly.
inside the main area of hte castle its around the same, 17fps usually often dropping to 15
as usual rooms before entering levels are literally full speed.
lastly, i tested the snow level which required 3 stars, since in my experience this was very recourse heavy. i used to get 8-10 fps in this level. now im getting an average of about 11.5, maximum about 12.22 and lowest 10. This doesnt seem to be a significant increase. The level doesnt run too well still. However if you like to play this level as much as i do, you'll notice the small speed boost. Note the interior part of the level where you race the penguin runs much better - i got about 17-18fps consistently
if strmnnrmn reads these comments id also like to thank him for the clipping code - mario 64's graphics are flawless.
14th!
how is MARIO 64 fully playable if there is no sound? .......
anyways, good progress
Yeah i was sick of the those "1st post!" lol.......
Anyway playing in the first area is around 20+ fps.In the bomb omb level around 14+fps.And in the castle where the fountain it around 28-31fps
it's playable
doesn't mean it has to have sound for you to play
and can you get super smash to work?
Just tested mario kart 64.
The menu runs at an average speed of about 12fps - not so good.
I tested one race which is the Luigi Raceway. Upon starting i noticed that the cloud with the traffic light has odd animations - something i dont think i saw in R7. other than that the graphics look great.
As for the speed - in R7 i didnt like to play mario kart because it ran about 1/3 of the speed - races would take AGES. Now im getting a consistent rate of 13fps. Doesnt sounds a lot but its a BIG improvement. Not enoguh to make me play MK64 on my psp though (yet) since races are still slow. One annoying thing which existed in R7 is that there is a sudden 'backward jerk' every so often while playing MK64. this still exists. it dosent affect the overall gameplay too much but its annoying. StrmNrmn explained the cause of this in his blog if you want to check it out.
- Talidan
okay this is the last game i'll test - Super smash bros.
The intro movie thing runs full speed - though lots of textures are purple (namely the hand and curtains)
Now i got to the menu where it asks you to press start...
I press start and it crashes. No improvement on the super smash bros situation im afraid.
Just simply Amazing cant believe my eyes. Thank you so much StrmnNrmn !!!!! YOU THE MAN!!!
Your Welcome
StrmnNrmn should make it so if the .tmp file(the one it makes if your rom is zipped) is the same as last time it just uses it right away instead of extracting again
best homebrew on psp!!!!!!!!!!!
i love you StrmnNrmn you're my hero times seven hundred and sixety-five, o and btw good job on teh speed increases
lol cool ive been playing mario 64 on project64 just waiting for this cant wait to try it when i get home
Am i the only one who thinks this is a mario 64 emulator???? I meen this is the only game that is improving at all
I wish I could rotate my head 360 degrees around.. that would rock. BUT NOT AS MUCH AS THIS!!!!!!!!!!! !!
Are you the only one here who's a total retard? Mario 64 is used as an example, to see the improvement.
Pilot wings No longer loads ANYTHING when you load it, the background is just pitch black.
Goldeneye refuses to boot completly.
Zelda has a few more graphical issues involving Black/purple squares and splattered textures, watch the rolling demo to see what I mean.
Super smash bros still refuses to load with the recompiler on, but with it on it loads everything purple but at a high 30fps or so.
Aside from this the EMU keeps getting better as alwies. I was VERY surprised with Mario 64. 20 fps with perfect graphics compared to the 8fps perfect graphics of before? Talk about improvement.
HEY NOOB UPDATE OTHER GAMES NOT JUST M64
No im not a total retard actually and if u would stop being a lazy ***** and try out some games like i did u would notice its not just being used as an example it really is the only game that has improved.
how do u get the saving for the n64 games to work???
60FPS means playable
Great work...yeeyaahh
We need the Exophase of the N64 world to save us.
Download any previous versions and then tell me that other games haven't improved.
Ive downlaod many previous version and im telling u mario 64 is the only game that is improving........ all other games either fail to load, crash after a short period or run at speeds that are totaly unplayable........... all im saying is stop calling this a N64 emulator and getting my hopes up to play great classics like banjo kazooie and harvest moon and start calling this a Mario 64 emulator so i know what to expect
@38 right now he's making it run faster then he will update it to run more games, and he has done a good job and has shown that you can have M64 run higher than 15 fps
this is truly an improvement thanks for the updates....... keep them coming........
Like extreme G, missing textures, but because the game itself is fast, it plays nicely even at the low fps.
agreed with 38
he really is mostly concerned with m64
look at all those other games that were great
banjo kazooblah ]
harvest moon ]------- my favs of all
super smash brothers original ]
etc
etc
this is a mario 64 emu with the possibilities of having a couple more games run
but nothing more :l
i hope he does more
Starfox runs at almost full speed! , but mario 64 runs kinda a bit faster but not so playable , anyways starfox is playable! it doesn't run smooth but it runs almost at full speed!
You ungrateful bastards, as soon as an update is released all you can do is say how it doesn't meet your standards.
If I was StrmnNrmn, I wouldn't share $h!t with you.
Starfox runs like 80% full speed! it's so awesome , the only think that takes time is the intro that appears in the first level but after that when you get in the game it's so fast it's unbeleivable , I really want sound now , not sure if it is going at 80% full speed or maybe even 90% full speed! it's awesome!
another nice build. Mario 64, and Mario Kart are nice and playable. I'm amazed how well the new clipping mode works, it's frigging awsome. (Zelda runs, but still has some texture/speed issues)
btw, I think that using Mario as a base will help him optimize the emulator to use the PSP hardware much faster than if he was playing around with a bunch of games at a time. This way, after he finishes a general build that will run Mario at/near full speed, I think we can expect him to make tweaks to run other games better.
more ungrateful ppl lol! Nyways... REALLY nice update, seeing the improvements a lot! keep up da good job!
THE EMULATER IS FREE, YOU PATHETIC BASTERDS NEED TO REALLY STOP PISSIN AND MOANING AND START BEING GREATFULL FOR WHAT YOU GOT, YOU ASSHOLS DO NOTHING TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SCEEN AND YOU WOULDEN'T HAVE NOTHING IF IT WERN'T FOR THE AUTHORS THAT PRODUCE THE HOMEBREW, I BET HALF OF THE *****S THAT DO NOTHING BUT COMPLAIN ARE THE ONES THAT HAD MOMMY AND DADDY BUY YOU THE DEVICE IN THE FIRST PLACE. IF YOU THINK YOU CAN DO BETTER THEN EITHER PUT UP OR SHUT UP.
PS. NOONE OWES YOU NOTHING SO STOP PISSING AND MOANING
this is amazing bro. keep up the ground breaking work and releases!
Amazing work !! Keep On!! I go testing it right now but i know it will roxx
I'm 99% sure that those people moaning, are PWNED by 2.70+ and/or ta-082 BUAJAJAJAJAJAJA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why don't you do your own FULL SPEED PERFECT N64 EMULATOR THAT PLAYS EVEN GAMECUBE GAMES...you can't right? THEN STFU!!!hhe's even giving you the source!!!
BTW...EXCELLENT WORK StrmnNrmn...just a suggestion...it would be nice to put the z botton on the left trigger, instead of the triangle.
Just make your own Config if you want Z on the L Trigger. You can make your own now very easily and just add them to the same directory as the other 4. Open 1 up to see the Format.
How about you stop worrying about getting Mario to work good and concentrate on games the people really want to play like Zelda: Ocarina of Time, or is that asking too much?
some of you are ungrateful pricks u know that? for the ones that are complaining...whenever you see a daedalus release just ignore it. do not come into the comments section, do not download it, do not comment on it, do not post about it...simply ***** off and keep your nobody comments to yourself. you know what? sell your psp and buy a ds and don't come back to this scene because you're not welcome here. you give it a bad name and are the weak link in a otherwise strong and very talented homebrew scene. you are the leeches...you are the ungrateful...you are the scum that we call noobs. so please keep your fat cheeto stained fingers off the keyboard, shut your *****ing mouths, keep your comments to yourselves and let us that are grateful of something which is FREE and a work in progress enjoy the excellent releases that strmnrmn is nice enough to share with us.
nice release and number 54 you said the best my brother!
FIRST POST I WIN YOU ALL SUCK
I'm gonna be at a boring place tomorrow for hours so I guess I should download this. I guess there is no memory card or cartridge save games emulated yet, is there?
Anyway, for all you idiots complaining, go write your own n64 emulator, b****es.
Full-speed N64 emulation on the PSP is something so seemingly impossible and yet it is becoming more realized on every release. I used to play Super Mario 64 all the time. This rocks!
I've already played a couple of games at decent speeds (and now graphics) because of this update on my TA-082
anybody try RE 2does it work
good work StrmnNrmn but i need frameskip.
Well said. Strmnrmn deserves much credit for all his hard work. He isn't being paid to do this and we don't need all the negative feedback. If you want a perfect running emulator why dont u go making it your damn self!! Strmnrmn keep up the great work and know that you have fans rooting for you and content with all the progess you've made t he last couple of months. You have a huge fanclub that appreciates your work and are not ignorant. Keep up the great work and believe me you've done more than anyone of those who complain. Im a sure fan and am following closely your work. Thank you and to those who bash on Strmnrmn " WE DONT NEED UR CRITICISM" buy the ds and crawl back into your holes!!!
he was referring to the people who complain, dumbass. he wasn't complaining about the emulator itself
personally, i think R8 is an awesome release. now i have more n64 support on my PSP. Thanks Strmnrmn!
I've just realized this is basically a Super Mario 54 Game instead of emulator :S This thing basically made Mario 64 full speed.
In my opinion she should of made Daedalus work on a large rom file so that the rest of the games would run at good speed.
...just saying.
60 FPS means its playable? Prey on the xbox 360 runs at 30fps and it plays just fine. These n64 games at 60fps would like like they were moving in fast forward.
if u dont like this emu then dont use it no 1 cares if it confuses u or not... if u think this is mario emu then so be it but the creator is aim to make it work as a n64 emu and he can call it that. he will probly make it work in the future.
I like playing mario 64 ive havnt tried any other game yet cause i never had an n64 so i havnt realy gotten into any other game yet. i dont care if he is only making htis emu run mario 64 faster. but im sure once he gets it workign better he will work harder on adding sound and the ability to play more and more games. but as of now he can only do so much.
@52 thanks for making me aware of the configfiles for controls cause i really wanted z to be l on the psp.
also thanks again for the wonderful program
I play N64 games on my PC all the time and they read 60fps all the time. That is full speed and playable. Mario is NO WHERE NEAR full speed, its not even half the speed except for in the level rooms.
Good job on creating this but i think we are about 30 updates away from it running full speed. Maybe once the PS emu is released by sony that will give the programmers something to pick apart and learn new tricks on speeding this up a bit with sound.
But until then keep up the good work. Add a frameskip with the next one.
Well done with this updated releae and keep them comming as there getting better no matter what some pillocks are saying on here,If there so intent on wanting to play certain titles MAKE YOUR OWN EMULATOR, If you can not make one then STFU & stop whittering about this release,As my gues is that every single update,software ,hombrew game, emulatore,ext,e xt, That are release you moan till your blue in the face about them ,So do all the genuine members & dev supporters of this great site a favour & take a hike n moan on another site as you sound like 10 year olds some times ,[or well only 4 weeks left & your all back to school lmao GET THE *****S OUT PEACE @ LAST.
SORRY FOR THE RANT BUT EVERY THREAD YOU READ ON THIS SITE IS FULL OF MOANING MORONS.
Can you start focusing on Zelda a little more? Maybe use that as an example instead of Mario in the next release... In my oppion it just seems like you ONLY use Mario as your progress game cause you cant get anything else to work better. No offence, still. Great Prog.
just need sound and its perfect xD
"nuff" said
THIS is coOoOoOol yo u r maaa smart man thanks lets see how fast u get the whole thing done now LOL.
D7-hydro thunder=4 fps ingame
D8-hydro thunder=8fps ingame(menu up to 70fps)
Its very playable now. :)
THIS SITE WILL BE CLOSING FOR SPAMING!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!
i have tested mario on my computer using a fps ajustable emulator ant ran it at 30fps, it seemed full speed and totaly normal, then i ran it at 60fps and was suprised by the results. the speed remaind the same, but the game was alot smoother ant chrisp, almost like comparing a game running on the psp at 222mhz and 333mhz, so i think fps dosnt directly link to emulation speed, btt the rate it can be displayed, which is why frame skip dosnt make much difference in these early stages, 30fps may be full speed.
There are alot of ppl who keep saying the same thing over and over in the comments in qj, both good and bad. Critisism is not that good to hear but thats what makes for a better emulator. It does get annoying but when you talk about how something is bad, and you talk about that something right next to the creator, they feel bad. But then they try to make it more better so the person/ppl dont give out More critisism, thus keeping them happy.
There is no easy way to say this(or a way that might keep everyone happy), but you sorta dont want to make the person making something happy with what he has built. They might still make a great thing but probably not as good as it could be if there was critisism because then they dont know what to fix. In THIER mind they might be thinking "everything is ok now. im finished". But they might not see that there is a huge mistake still not fixed.
Its annoying I know but deal with it. That is life. It is how many of the big companies were able to Become BIG, by fixing problems on their product. And they still havent sttopped looking for critisism. they give out surveys and add little signs on their product that say "Call us if experiencing problems", so then they can make a good product better.
wherd you go psmonkey did he quit on the n64 emu or is he just working really hard so one day he comes out with somthing that will blow our minds
IRSHELL gives your songs... just play your own... run it at 333 and you got noise... sorta the same speed...jsut a little slwo
Mario 64- playable
Quake II- 10 fps average from menu to in game. In game is covered by the weird purple textures, though.
Starcraft- Doesn't start.
Mario Party 3 - Doesn't start.
Smash Bros. - Crashes in game.
Zelda - Still sort of slow fps, but playable.
Rogue Squadron - Doesn't start.
Starfox- Kinda playable
Goldeneye- Mine crashed :/ So did PDZ. Not like they'd be playable anyway; but it might've been the rom versions. I had odd ones to play online with my friends.
Episode I Racer- Takes awhile to start., crashes at a black screen.
Mario Party 1 - 50+ FPS on the ads and stuff. In game has about 15-20. Can dip down lower. Crashes after you press start in the intro with everyone in a circle.
Didn't bother Donkey Kong 64 Conker's or Banjo :/ Didn't wanna waste time uploading. I didn't want to try any of the WWF wrestling games because they don't even work on the real n64 emulators for pc (most of the games don't.) Didn't try Majora's Mask either considering the timer it gives us and how hard it would be to play it and deal with a time. Anyone wanna try the NFL/NBA games?
mariooooooo 64! with speed and textures
totse.com

30 FPS is full speed framerate wise. If 60 FPS is allowed it would just make things smoother like zodionic mentioned. I suggest people go play Mario 64 on the PSP and find an area that gives 20fps constant. It'll feel like it's full speed.
I'm going to try starfox and resident evil 2. I don't expect much from RE2, but it will be the first playable resident evil psp game ^^
what means R7 and R8 and how i can play mario on my psp please help me with this
R7 and R8 just mean versions with R8 being the latest. Check the readmes in the files for help.
Also, Starfox is working amazingly
.
First people said N64, on the PSP, not possible! Now that we've seen that it is possible people are *****ing about there being no audio! Step back and take a look at how far this emulator has come in the last few months, it really is an amazing accomplishment.
Great job StrmnNrmn, and keep it up!
Bomberman64 - Begin menu does work but then it screws up. No visuals
Destruction Derby64 - Menu screwed but the game itself loads. A framerate of 5 so not playable. Also smoke is displayed with purple texures.
Quake64 - Menu looks good but runs at 5 fps. If you like purple levels then this is your game. :) It runs at 5 fps.
Ridge Racer64 - Menu screwed up but runs very fast. In game it runs at 10 fps so it's almost playable. Lots of textures are purple but i think that this could be a playable title in the next releases of the emulator.
Marco
WOW! A lot of games are REALLY moving now! This is soooo cool! Am I a douchebag though for suggesting that you use Zelda as an example insead of Mario? I mean, it was the N64's best game...but hey what the hell do I know, I can barely do Visual Basic without crying...Good luck with audio!
What are you on about, its fully playable. Fully functional would cover "sound" features. Not fully playable would mean crashing at menus/etc..
Anyways, great job StrmnNrmn! Great update, you're keeping a large amount of the homebrew community alive & happy! =)
I am impressed to see N64 games on my PSP. StrmnNrmn thanks for this emulator and keep up the good work please. This emu is nice to see and hope you continue improving it to its very best. Good job!
Wow QJ is really full of pricks! (Apologies to those that are not screaming for Sound or throwing their rattles out of their prams about some games not working).
To 16> What about deaf people? Are all video games suddenly unplayable to them as they can't hear the sound? Don't be such a complete *****face.
To those *****ing about only Mario 64 running, what bollocks, if you'd actually read the guys blog you would see how many things he is currently working on. There is a bug in Banjo Kazooie, Mario Kart and some others that he has identified that has to do with screen refreshes and he will work on this for the next version as well as promising to look into why Goldeneye won't run (which he has mentioned before is a rom specific problem).
This is only the 8th *****ing release of this emulator, its a work in progress! Sound will only come once the framerate, graphics and compatibility are further optimised.
Anyway Strnmnrmn will be working on more optimisations, the menu/gui and savestates for the next version. That should shut some of you ungrateful *****ers up at least.
Try implementing some kind of soundsystem in R9,
Sound would be AWESOME!!
It's a shame we have almost perfect N64 emulation, while Snes9x still isn't even running full speed on 222 MHz.
I heard about that gGBA emulator ,which uses JIT to run faster code. What does that mean? It means that who created gGBA can run C# code on the PSP?
C# would be better for emulators ,the compiler can run code way faster then C++.
JIT stands for Just In Time, its a method like (but different to)Daedalus's dynamic recompiler that executes code only when its required in order to speed the emulation cycle.
Ohhh. Sorry ,so its an emulation method. I didnt know.
nocomment
its crazy how far this emu has come from day1 im well impressed as to all the ungratefull noobs go downlod your iso's and leave the homebrew comunity alone.id love for exophase to try his hands at an n64 emu seeing as how great his gba emu is.
destruction derby
ridge racer 64 - was working in r7 but is now at least 100% faster and is playable now.
I LOVE YOU!!!!! This is GREAT!!!!!!!
100th :)
you really do need to start working on other games besides mario 64. it's a great program and i appreciate the effort, but if you all keep saying how great it is already, why do you care if it gets updated? it's because you want better gameplay. well we want better gameplay on other games. if something is great, sometimes people don't take the time to make it greater. the people complain because it's basicly like getting a 1.5 psp that can't play anything cept umd disks and can't upgrade. it can play SOME games, but won't play ALL the games. it's defective and nobody would want that. on the other hand, you can get a 1.5 psp that can play homebrew, roms, games, and emulate other firmwares which plays games (thx to the people who made that possible). so understand people complain for a reason
WHOEVER MADE THIS EMULATOR DESERVES AN APPLE PIE BUT N64 SUCKS WHY SOULDN'T HE DO THIS WITH XBOX 360???? DUHHHHHH
Mario 64-Great playable
Star Fox-great(movies run at 8fps max. in-games at 15-16) playable
Zelda(ocarina of time)-perfect menu movies at 4-8 fps in-game at 5-6 (in kokiri forest at least) some grphical glitches -not playable
turok-crashes after "press start" screen
resident evil 2 - unfortunately not running at all...
yoshi's story-same as resident evil2
hope it helped some of you and don't hesitate to post some comments about games you tested!StrmnNrm n you're great!
nocomment
the way to make this emulator is to make different versions for each game. then you can get the best performance possible for each one.
i dont see the problem with improving mario64 right now, once he has that perfect then he can start improving other games so there playable.
imagine all the time he has to put in to make more games playable, you don't got the right to complain about something which is done in someones spare time and gives it for free.
SPEED GOES BEFORE SOUND, isnt that obvious?? damn..
AND YES, I also have fav n64 games, like Super Smash Brothers. AND YES, they are not playable yet!
IN DUE TIME IDIOTS! have some freaking patience. You nerds act like he is some kind of waiter taking orders. Bunch of low-lifes. Damn you guys really make me feel ''WOW... HOW TYPICAL HUMAN''
Ofcourse, it has yet no sound, but because of the speed improvement (which is about almost 100% faster in the stage levels in Mario64) and also that the save works now, it is a big step forward from the older release [v7].
Think the rom just need 25fps to be full playable, and with sound on that, this one will be best EMU that has been develop/ported/whatever to PSP.
Keep it up Strmnnrmn.
for all those saying that mario 64 isnt even half playable because its only 25 fps and 60 means perfect, technically anything above 30 fps is great speed, FOR ALL THOSE SAYING 60 is PERFECT: true, but the difference between lets say 35 fps and 60 is so slight the human eye cant tell, 60 fps just makes the animation smoother. not the speed.
Starfox 64 is really playable! Its almost at full speed
Well Exophase could learn a little from ZX-81. His GBA emulator was compatible with any roms. I know that ZX created his emulator form an opensource project ,but Exophase can too incorporate some features form there
111th
Can somebody implement that fameskip into this version?!
Mario kart time trial runs full speed-----> check the timer on the top right it is almost accurate!! G.P is about 1/2 second slow but i dont care !! it is the best Emu out !
What firmware does this work on
@ 45 and 48. Bravo :)
does the save feature work??? cuz last time it only wanted to save whenever it felt like it while i was playin mario
I can't get resdient evil 2 to work on the psp. I tried on my computer's emulator and it wouldn't run it either. Maybe we have a bad file?
Well done StrmnNrmn this is an excellent job! Its a shame not all Roms work though, it'd be quality to be able to play GoldenEye on PSP. I tried loading up an F-Zero X Rom also and it didnt work. Mario Kart runs nice and smooth though and ive been playing that for a while congrats and keep it up!
Rampage world tour works through the whole game at over 30 fps!!!
THIS SUCKS NO OTHER GAMES ARE GOOD CEPT M64
This emulator is getting very impressive now. Two things that concern me though (they aren't major, but they annoy me).
1. Will the control scheme change one day (I'm assuming that it will, since this prolly just a temporary solution while he looks toward optimizations and stuff).
2. When I start a game, I can't see the progress for how long it takes to load the ROM. It's just a black screen. It'd be nice if I could see the progress. Also, it takes WAY too long to load ROMs now. Will that get fixed eventually?
Either way, great job StrmnNrmn!
I hate these people that ask for 60fps and sound, and if the emu can't do it, then its not playable, and they won't try it. Even some games on a real N64 don't run full speed, theres always some slowdown when things get crazy (star wars: ep1 racer). So I don't know the big deal is, I'm like Daedalus very much, looking at mario's big 3D face if fun lol, and showing it to friends, they get blown away. Keep up the good work man.
This is so unbelievably awesome. I have been plugging away for the past few hours at Mario 64 and I got 10 more stars in the same time it took me to get 1 or 2 on R6/7 (missing jumps drives me crazy, especially when you have 6fps).
Using Mario 64 as a test variable has worked out awesome so far. If we started using other commercial games as a Daedalus test bed, we could diversify the amount of bugs and therefore crushed bugs, HOWEVER strmnnrmn may be more interested in getting Mario 64 to run 100% perfect before he starts worrying about every ROM in the library. It's all about the scientific process, if you are patient then you will get what is coming.
I tested Mario Kart 64 also, and I get about 12fps on average, enough to be considered playable. I successfully completed the first two Mariokart GP races in 150cc mode, first place even :) The only problem I noticed was that the new clipping code seems to affect the indexing of the sprites and what direction drivers/lakitu/etc. are supposed to be pointing at certain directions. For example, after you finish the race and you're watching your player do fly-bys, they will be facing you at an angle 50% of the time, and facing down the track the other 50%. It's rather intermittent, so it looks like they're dancin a crazy jig. Lakitu looks hilarious at the starting line.
Other than that, DAMN! Did you guys notice how fast he released this? He told us he intended to wait on R8 because he had some work to do on it, and I was thinking "ok cool, another couple weeks no biggie" But here we are, playing R8 on this very Saturday. StrmnNrmn, words can't describe how awesome you are. You are a godsend to the PSP homebrew coding scene and I seriously hope you stick with this project, it will definitely take you places
Lastly, to all the moaning, complaining, grammatically castastrophic kids that are filling this comments list with negativity: IF YOU WANT SOMETHING IN THE NEXT RELEASE, THE SOURCE CODE IS BUNDLED WITH REVISION 8. FEEL FREE TO RECOMPILE IT YOURSELF AND ADD WHATEVER YOU LIKE, THEN MAYBE YOU'LL GET YOUR OWN NEWS POST ON PSPUPDATES!! Oh wait, you don't know how to code. Or submit bug reports. I guess you should just keep complaining as if it will do some good in the world. Thank you for your generous contributions to the community. /sarcasm
i swear man your the *****in greatest. your proving all these pumping pumpers there the ones that are the *****ing stupids.. *****ing starsd. tards.. *****kkkkkkkkkk omfg igot to go to a wedding and im here drunk on *****i pspupdates.. ahahaha *****erS!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DFUFK********** LOL HAHA
THIS EMU *****IGN PWOEDNZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZ
125!
starcraft 64 crashes before the rom boots up. lol worth a try, even if it ran at full speed that game sorta sucks.
You are stupid. Iso and ROMS are pretty much the same thing a55hole. Cept PSP ISO's suck a55 they arn't even worth the download. while n64 has great games.
Wow im stunned by the framerate!!
I would really like to see super smash bros working in the next release. Then again... beggers cant be choosers
Simply put, awesome job on the update! Mario runs excellent, and other games have also shown major improvement as well. It's incredible to see where this project has gone; and obviously this is the best emulator out there. Now it's only a matter of time before a few more speed improvements and sound are added, and this emulator would be perfect! You truly are an asset to the homebrew community@!
i have to say, this is without a doubt the best thing for psp i have seen yet! getting any n64 game playable on the psp is no easy task...it is coming along amazingly!!! i wouldnt be too worried about the sound factor yet...wait until you get at least 20 fps constant through the entire m64 game.
great job!! im looking forward to the next update!!!!!
for those who think it only increase speed for m64 only need to check on the zelda i mean the intro its way faster than before it, there still have the graphic problem but the speed have increased so stop saying its didnt increase speed on other games.
very good speed improvement! Ramapage runs full speed now :D.
N64 mario runs great.
Keep up the great work!
m64 and star fox runs great love this update cant wait for super smash bros and the sound to get working. good job keep it up. best emulator out by far
I haven't tried this since the R5 build. It really is amazing! Keep up the great work.
CAN I USE WITH FW 2.80??I WANT A EMU FOR 2.80 I NEED HELP!!!
mario 64 never did 60fps on the n64 since most games was capped at 30. running about with mario and im well amazed. much smoother than previous revision, well done strmnnrmn keep up the good work running nearly speed of DS mario and looks much better ( filtering etc
just needs sound, hope it wont take out big chunk of the performance. dyin to play it, aint played it proper in like 5yrs+
also could make options to disable bilinear filtering, cud boost fps quite abit.
Sure he's using mario 64 as a baseline, soon he gets mario running well with sound then i guess he wud work on getting others working. 90% of ppl who think of playing a n64 emu on psp must think i wanna play mario 64 .. yeh?.
all these ppl moaning are probably nintendo DS owners proper jealous, if not then go moan else where. this guy should be praised well amazed with his emu so far.
all he needs to achieve in mario is +10fps and sound and be
my mates got a DS n mario, just waiting on the right time to rub it in..
keep up the good work m8.
PAPER MARIO ARRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRR!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE....PLEASE GET PM WORKIN
Mario 64 is decent speed. So is Bomberman 64 2nd Attack. All we need is graphic fixes for other games then maybe around R12 it`ll be good enough to play enjoyably
he really needs to release a compatability update for R9 and get more roms working
nocomment
should be a small speed update and a compatability update. then i could see R10 being a big speed update, setting the groundwork for sound in R11
i just downloaded it from PSPUpdates, doesn't load anything, just crunches mario64 with black screen.
PLEASE SEND ME A PSP I'M VERY POOR I NEED AN ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM TO PLAY WRITE ME TO MICHOU34@GMAIL.COM FOR MT ADRESS
Its amazing when you hold your psp back and look at what your witnessing nintendo 64 playable on psp.Well done mario is playable(only got slow at assault course and at the bear minimum i got like 15.
Do i have to downgrade (i have FW2.7) to use Daedalus R8?
this is a fantastic psp homebrew...great work
what firmware does this work on?
sorry you can't downgrade a 2.7 firmware!to use daedalus you need either 1.0 or 1.5.
P.S.I got a NDS too but I'm really happy being able to play Mario 64 on my psp even if I got it for the DS.An emulator is always made just for one game in early stages of developpement because you need a basis to work on.Even on PC, yes it was like that!So to all those people complaining just be patient and keep your comments for yourself!
My dream to play Mario 64 on a PSP is almost fullfilled... when will be the sound implemented maybe in R9? Hehe
Keep the excellent work StrmnNrmn, thanks!!!
1.0 is faster run than 1.5 right? im using 1.5 now and game is about 24-to 10 fps.. 24 is the max i got. level 1 at mario 64 i ran at 10 fps. still feel lag.. someone can confirm me it?
im loadin mario.zip in2 it on psp... the screens blank and wlan lite flashin like crazy... jw if its "self-extractin" like it did in R4 i dled R4 10 min ago w/o realizin R8 was out! i am indeed a poopiehead :-p

wow strmnnrmn you got mario basically running at full
speed.il was able to play mario 64 for a good 4 hrs no crashes in the game, and i got 41 strars in that amount of time.you rock like woah! the only thing i noticed was a fewgraphical glitches in the game like the eel,the penguin's eyes and some of the pictures you cant jump into.this rocks and i thank u for releasing it to us. I really can't wait for R9.
p.s. can't wait for chameleon twist 2 to be playable
VERY COOL, KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!! !1.
when will this be able to work on a 2.6 PSP and how well does conkers and goldeneye work and is their multiplayer ???
Iss sweet!
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! playing star fox 64 even without sound on the PSP was amazing
This is so awesome! It is even better when you use ir shell and play the main theme from whatever game you are playing, just in case you hadn't thought of that...
Oh, and to the guy that said the thing about doing Time Trial on MK, that was an awesome idea! It works almost flawlessly in TT! Thanks everyone, including Dark Alex, who without his downgrader I would not be doing this right now.
nocomment
