Something New for Daedalus: Viewport Scaling |
Ó
And so, with that said and done, here's what the developer accomplished these past days on his emu: StrmnNrmn just posted that he has fixed the viewport scaling for his Daedalus homebrew, one of the more talked-about N64 emus for the PSP. He's now managed to include three different modes in which you can play your N64 games.
From left to right (click images to enlarge):
The first mode (which is what the current Daedalus runs on) stretches the video output to fit the PSP's 16:9 screen. Notice that the vertical bars of the letters 'f' and 't' in the text are heavy. The carpet also poses another graphics-problem that StrmnNrmn is planning to address. The second mode shows the un-stretched 4:3 screen ratio (renders at 320x240), which solves the 'f' and 't' problem (but not really the carpet). Of course, with this screen mode, there's the waste of space on the sides. The third mode is the new 4:3, but this time renders 362x272 pixels to make the most out of the height of the screen.
Thanks to cools for the tip-off.

Comments [refresh]
1st! woot
they showed Quest 64!!
One of my favorite games :]
OMG they made me read this!!
looks nice
we need speed forget everything else
nocomment
we need SOUND
forget them fools who dont care about updates.... i dont have a 100 hours on my hands to scan for all the updates on my fav psp apps... so going to one soures for all my psp needs is kool thing. it good to hear that strrmmr is also working on the n64 emu, hes one of the best and theres only good things to come of this in the futre
to pspudates... ur a kool site but latly u been flooding us with ads... not kool! but still love ya
Keep up the good work.
Hmmmm, that's strange. I really enjoy the constant updates. It keeps me from having to check on everything everyday. This guy is amazing....I have to admitt I didn't think the emu would make it this far. It's great.
I can hardly wait for the next release.
need an hourly update :)
anyway, why make more viewpoints? didn't read the whole thing but does it effect the speed?
Lets run around like chickens with our heads cut off in the comments section because we failed to even READ the news post! Yeah! That's a GREAT idea! Everyone join in and post something ignorant and oblivious! Gogogogogoogogo go!
Anyways, if any of you ever messed with the Zoom ratios in SNES9XTYL, you'll know that smaller viewing ratios improve the overall speed of the emulator because they decrease the amount of work for the CPU to process each frame on screen. This means that in the 2nd mode (320 x 240, 4:3) you would get the best framerate out of Daedalus, and in the third mode (362 x 272, :3) you would get the best of both worlds. The first mode (widescreen mode) is the most taxing on the PSP's system resources.
Then again, chances are if you didn't read the news post, you probably won't read this comment either.
They can't handle so many words ^^
Nice to see its still coming along, why is'nt there sound though? I dont get it.........
There is no sound because the emulator already runs at a slow speed, imagine if the sound was also emulated....speed would decrease even more. Sound may be emulated in the future, but not until the emulator can actually run the graphical part of the games at almost full speed.
13, wrong, the textures etc are scaled in hardware on the gpu..
if they didnt give us hourly updates how would you know howmuch cooler the next one will be and how close it is to being released if you dont like it you can chose not to read it just stop whining about it because if your just gonna whine noone wants to hear what you think
I'm all for this project, but you have to admit at one point (say 2 months ago) they were going a little crazy with the updates. I doubt any other piece of homebrew had gotten such frequent and high volume of front page recognition and it is fact this isn't exactly playable yet. And if i see that stupid red 3d mario logo again i'm going to punch someone.
To the people who dont like hourly updates,
It's not hard to just skip it. If you want certain blogs only, just click on the category.
if you dont like all the consent updates thats your problem, no one elses..... programers spend hours, days, weeks, and some times months just to make games and programs for you to download for free, and the the thanks tey get is "im tierd of all thes updaes"...
if you dont like all the consent updates thats your problem, no one elses..... as for me i like being informed on the improvements and when the next release is going to be
