Daedalus PSP - Image 1


Ok, so we don't quite have the video from Shinydude100 and the rest of the DaedalusX64 team just yet, however, we get more screens. From what we've seen yesterday, Mario 64 was already looking ace, and now we get to see GoldenEye 007 running on Alpha 1 too!

Here's Captain Morgan talking about his run through of GoldenEye on their emulator project:

Even though the alpha 2 plays Goldeneye better I beat the first level on the highest difficulty and completed the mission 100% on alpha 1. Only real reason was because I deleted alpha 2 of my psp since it was slower for other roms then 007. Anyway when you get down into the tunnel part of the Dam the FPS picks up alot because of the closed space and the shakiness stops. In level 2 it seems the speed is really nice, running at like a minimal of 12fps and high of 28, even though these pictures below don't exactly say it because after I click screenshot the fps goes down to take the pic but then returns so. Anyway here are so pics for Kreationz or whoever so they can see the green texture errors throughout level 2, just for future reference. It took alot of patience to beat level 1 and play a good bit of level 2 but the speed wasn't too painful so this project just keeps looking better!

Meanwhile, Kreationz dropped by the same forum thread and elaborated more on GoldenEye's special kind of rendering. It also looks like he's working well into Alpha 2 and 3 now:

Actually the speed difference is going to be an indoor vs outdoor thing, for out door rendering 007 uses a special cache method that's difficult to replicate on the psp, but rest assured CM the Alpha 3 won't have the slow downs of alpha two as the changes are now menu selectable... Also been slowly finding tiny bit here and there so it may be even faster than Alpha 1 was. For instance Zelda OoT is back up to R13 speed with better texture support and working on a way to make it faster.


Yay for progress! Cheers to the DaedalusX64 team once again!

i never had enough patience to play through level1 on 007. not enough patience to even get to the bridge where the truck goes over at the very start.



i got lots of faith in DaedalusX64. hoping the best for the whole team.

i fill bad for the Ppl who think N64 will ever be playable on a PSP.



the N64 emulator for PSP just takes up space and everyones Time, I know i am sick of all the Noobs MSGing me about this Emulator asking me dumb questions like How to make a Game go faster etc etc then after about 20mins of be talking to them on why the N64 will never go Full FPS they get mad at me LOL,

I am not the one who gave there hopes up on a N64 on PSP.



May as well start on a PS2 Emulator on PSP get a whole 0fps lol

I will not assume this emulator running full speed is probable at this point, but it is not really impossible. The PS1 had better graphics than the N64 (or at least that is how it seemed on the monitor I was using at the time), and SONY succeeded in making PS1 games fully playable on the PSP. The labor that went into this emulator is not fruitless either.



Anyway, if even just one game worked perfectly on this emulator I would say that all effort that went into it was well worth it. And even if this project fails to run at full speed it can always be ported to a faster system in the near future and half of the work for it will already be done.

Given that the PSP hasn't got enough buttons I automatically give up hope. Even N64 VC games on the Wii are pants without a standard N64 controller.



And Kittykat, no. The PS1 had worse graphics than the N64. The N64 had 3x the CPU speed and had a 64bit GPU inplace of the PS1's 32bit. N64 was a beast that was let down by the limited storage space only.

yep gived up hope before i even played it, then when i did, i was shocked at the fact, people once saw this as a must have, it was even more pathetic than i thought



this is the reason why im buying a pandora



DONT FORCE EMULATORS, not enough buttons give up hope, thats my modo, while this might be acceptible to some, a psp n64 emulator was doomed by both buttons and its power



heres to all OpenPandora hopefuls out there

# Not, enough buttons...Kreationz 2008-11-09 21:22
Not enough buttons lets 1 for a 1 for 1 b 2 for l/r 1 for z, D-p for C or D-pad depending on game and 1 to alt the d-pad to the alternate one... sound fine to me...



That's the lamest excuse I've ever heard as a reason not to make and emu. Don't like it, don't play it!.
