StrmnNrmn and his Daedalus R11 plans: Release is "in a couple of weeks" |
Ó
After releasing the latest Nintendo 64 emulator for the PSP, Daedalus R10, StrmnNrmn is now busy making plans for Daedalus R11. Yes, you read that right, R11. In his blog, he shared what he hopes to fix for R11. So as everything would be clear, here's what he plans on fixing for the next outing of Daedalus.
Fix the Expansion Pak support "for once and for all". The PSP coder mentions that the memory is currently very tight so he is going to look at removing a few hundred KB here and there. He also said that "almost all the memory Daedalus uses is allocated up front - there are very few dynamic allocations at runtime, with the biggest culprit being the texture cache." So with that, he plans on introducing a pooled allocator for the texture cache. The result of that is in case you run out of memory, you'll just get white textures and not get a hard crash.
Oh, and he's just getting started with the R11 plans. Aside from that, he also wants to "improve the way that global settings and per-rom settings are handled". He explained that when your restart your PSP, Daedalus discards any setting changes that you make, so changing your settings over and over again, every time you run a game, could be a bit tedious. With this improvement in R11, the emulator would be nicer and easier to use.
And here's more - StrmnNrmn mentioned that he want to work on some scripts to handle packaging new releases for distribution. When this becomes more automated, the more frequently he'll release builds. As to when R11 would be released, read this:
I'd like to get all these changes done and release R11 within a couple of weeks. I have a couple of busy weekends coming up, so I'm not going to specify an exact date. You can expect it before May though (I'll try not to be a couple of days late this time :)
We thank blackrave for the heads-up!

BOYA GO STRNAMNASFK whatever the name is...)
I would like to thanks My mum and god.
go ahead with r12!!!!
Are you death StrmnNrmn? what about the freaking sound here.
throw me a freaking bone here.
StrmnNrmn, a suggestion... Fix the graphical glitches such as the ones in 007 the world is not enough, etc. Then maybe work on speed and all. But good work man, you're the PSP's only hope for N64-ness. Keep up the good work dude.
Keep up the good work StrmnNrmn
Glad he's keeping at it, and ignoring all the negative comments.
well i think u shoukd keep working on it StrmnNrmn because making us wait for something that goes a little faster isnt enough for me.
It'd be nice if you improved the 2D sprite support (ingame grafix for MK Trilogy, Duke Nukem 64, and DOOM 64 in particular) plus menus and text in various other games), but otherwise, keep up the good work Strmnrmn!
Keep up the good work! Cant wait till R11 is released
Read above!!!
i am death and i'm coming to get yoooouuu.
Woa.. nice news. and nice daedalus banner plx
http://www.newsinside.org
Diddnt R10 just get released? Why the hell is he already announcing the next realese. He should be relaxing
good to hear, although speed is the only major issue with the emulator. the sound will improve with the speed because the only reason the sound is bad now is because of the speed.
keep up the good work strmnnrmn!
I'm holding out for R20 or so.
Enough said. :)
StrmnNrmn Please We Need BETTER Sound...So Please TAKE YOUR TIME MAKING Daedalus R11.
me too *****
its clearly SToRMiN NoRMoN, just remove the vowels
^^ Retard
we need more speed, captain!
i mean i really appreciate ur work n all but wtf, dont post an update a month n stop giving out BETAs. It's pointless bro, one beta every 3 months is good enough. just an advice, but seriously y give people something that is not even playable yet? it's pointless dawg.
Hahahahahaha. "Death" Priceless.
He may just be letting the hype of his program get the better of him so he feels the need to let everyone know what is going on all the time. The thing is, we know about the hype, it's deserved for the program, but a month ahead of time for smaller updates here and there? Just take your time, man.
YO STRMN PLEASE IM BEGGING YA
FOR THE LAST HOW MANY RELEASES I'VE BEEN JUST BEGGING FOR SUPER SMASH BROTHERS. FOR THIS RELEASE PLEASE MAKE IT WORK! PLEASE!!!!
damn it people, stop complaining about how "crappy" you think the emulator is.
If you think you can do better, go and try.
Can't do it? then stop complaining and go read a few hundred books till a version that you regard as "non-crappy" comes out.
First postt!!!1!11!!!one11!!!
tahnck y0u strmnnrmN!!!1111!! u rule da c0sm0s!1!!11!eleven!1!!!
i alr34dy p1mp3d 0ut mi R10 4nd g0t 100% b00st so th1s d03sn't m4tt3r, but th4nky0u n0n3th3l355!!!!11!
Actually , I think it's Storman Norman.
hay guys, just letting you know I have resolved wolrd peace and conquered hunger worldwide for the beautiful results of some graphical updates. maybe tommorow my cure for the common cold will lead me to some frame speedup but dont get to hopeful just yet.
yeah, its just a spammer..
i think he should just hold off on all thies releases and just wait till hes got a good 1 that runz nearly if not perfect and then release that one.
its STeRMeN NeRMeN like thurman murman from bad santa
super smash does work with dynamic recompilation disabled but it still rele slow nd the graphics hav lots of glitches
Good god, how MANY times do i have to say this!!!??
The reason he gives early versions is so YOU can help him find errors/bugs! at this rate we will have a fully working emulator quick. if he DIDNT need our help, it would be 2 years for crying out loud, before we seen a working emu.
so DAWG, thats why. on TOP of that, mario runs pretty darn good for me in latest build.....so on my end, i have a working emu.
(All this time i been pernouncing StrmnNrmn like " Stirm Nirm" lol)
Heres a few of my siggestions:
Plugin support for the emu itself.
PSP plugins support (CheatMaster/CWCheat)
ALWAYS WORK ON COMPATIBILITY FIRST, as you DONT know which games just may work now.
possibly an IN Game cheat searcher/creator. similar to what Project64 has with code usage, and what like, the snes emus or gba ones have for hacking your own.
DEFINITLY focus on making one game work at a time. IF we could all play Mario, Zelda, Goldeneye RIGHT NOW, and others not, i would be happy. then, move up on the list and knock all the other problems out. hells yah.
Another idea, You know the GameShark Pro for n64> it allowed you to CREATE your own cheat codes, well, its a cartridge, and you insert an n64 game on TOP of it and enable/disable cheat codes, then IN GAME, you can press a lil button on the cart and a hack menu, JUST LIKE CHEATMASTERS comes up and allows you to hack your games.view memory editor etc etc. be nice if you could implement that somehow lol well, copyright laws...hmm...expansion or plugin maybe, it would be up to us of course to find the rom/cart.
COnkers Bad Fur Day fo life!!!!
StrmnNrmn, PLEASE PLEASE WE NEED BETTER SOUND!!!
TAKE YOUR TIME MAKING Daedalus R11.

ur a moron u F*+(*+G retard god i want to smak u into your mothers womb

FINALLY!!!!! I tested mario before on deadalus but it was hackly and not good and slow! On this one its perfect! Thanks man!!!!!!
YEAH I GOT YA BONE RIGHT HERE IN MY PANTS SO WHEN U QUIT *****IN COMPLAININ I'LL LET U HAVE IT.
PLEASE READ THIS!!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO BROWSE THE GAMES WITH BACKGROUND PIC, ANIMATION AND MUSIC JUST LIKE UMD AND EBOOTS. PLEASE I HATE HOW EMULATORS BROWSE THROUGH PLAIN FILES!!!
PLEASE DO THIS, I AM PRETTY SURE IT DOESN'T TAKE MORE THAN 1 MINUTE TO IMPLEMENT SINCE THE CODE IS ALREADY AVAILABLE FOR PSX AND HOMEBREW EBOOTS!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
THANKS :'-(
I have a DS and SM64DS, so try to improve the support on the other games. "Mario, Mario, Mario." gets annoying.
The whole point of PSP emus is to be able to play a game portably that you can't any other way. The fact that you can play SM64 on the DS makes the whole "Keep improving Mario support until it's perfect" thing dumb.
I'm all for this emu, waiting for SSB and PM support. :)
i hope mario tennis works for this emu. if not i will go to my room and cry. then ill play it on my n64.

I'm tired of these new features. R10 was all about new features and some speed, but games like Quest 64 are playable now, but have no save staes. This pretty much makes this game unplayable. Daedalus wouln't be so criticized or rushed if Zelda: OOT or MM (which I know already works) were playable and have save support. I don't know how much coding is required for save states but it is right up there with speed for an objective.
i think that it would be awesome to play multiplayer with a friend who has a psp...like super smash bro.s(when it works)...compatiblity and savestates are also must haves
not everyone has a ds and even those who have psp and ds dont want to carry around both so ur wrong
i think ill.... make sure no one else can read anything......
jackass
i would love if Mario tennis could work on this and also SSB.. super mario 64 i very slow, and it seems that games that i want to play on this dont work.. like nightmare creatures or resident evil 2.. -_-
and ive spend 2 days on winning metroid fusion on my GBA emulator for psp, and i won it and it was great!! wooh! some other people should try that out too while waiting for daedalus R11..
Who's a Mormon?
better saving support
i noticed that for every new Daedalus release all that's talked about is Mario 64. it's kinda ridiculous. where are the other popular games like Starfox 64, OoT, or Metroid? From what I've heard, R10 has done a good job of emulating Mario, so I think for R11 and/or R12, testing should be done with other games. but anyway, great job man, excellent program(though I have yet to test it, as the only game i really want to play is starfox)
1- FULL SPEED!!!
2- FULL SOUND!!
3- WIFI SUPPORT!!
4- ENTIRE N64 COLLECTION COMPATABILITY!! !
5- GLITCHLESS!!
6- GAMES IN EBOOT STYLE!!!
7- SOON!!!
PERIOD!!!
^retarded. like said, glad ur ignoring the negative comments, keep it up!
maybe some people could donate like at least a dollar or so to him
and what about these other hombrew devolpoers like Fantajia. why can't he help him out. i know dark alex is busy with custom firmware right now so maybe some other devolopers could help out
1- FULL SPEED!!!
2- FULL SOUND!!
3- WIFI SUPPORT!!
4- ENTIRE N64 COLLECTION COMPATABILITY!! !
5- GLITCHLESS!!
6- GAMES IN EBOOT STYLE!!!
7- SOON!!!
8-save state
thats the list to make a perfect emulator
Yes!, I totally agree with you
^_^
I guess the max FPS for SM64 is 30 FPS and in most of the castle it renders at 25 FPS+ the levels render at about 15 FPS+. Personally I could care less about audio and compatibility right now. If I was StrmnNrmn I would just focus on getting the games to full speed and work in compatibility and audio support later, but that's just my opinion. Otherwise I think he's making damn good progress.
If he increases speed for only a couple of games, after he increases the compatibilty, will the compatable games be okay to play, or are does every game need it's own attention in order to make it faster?
Sorry. I only take people seriously if they can type properly.
y dont u just do all the emulater at one time, i hate how ur just adding like one new feature in every emulater, what do u mean ull work on speed in the future just work on eveything in one Dadaliuse or however u spell it, just work on sound speed and graphics all at once and just add them, because people dont like one new feature at a time give us more, and take ur time working on it
Does anybody know how to work these things im gettin pissed trying to figure out how they work
whats spelled wrong dumbass?...oooooo i spelt don't "dont" and your "ur". just cause you had a *****ty point, don't go crying when someone criticizes it :)
Hey, StrmnNrmn, you should have a way to exit out of Daedalus. I've been having to restart my PSP like taking out the battery, couldn't there be an option in the menu to exit the whole Daedalus?
wat he should do is make an emulator but a perfect one and not release it until hes done with it. maybe the reason we dont have a full speed emulator is because he keeps puttin up all these bulletins and downloads and not have the time to make the emulator. he should just take his time and make the emulator as best as it should be then he should show us.
Might I ask a question? Would it be possible to emulate the N64 much like NJ did with CPS1/CPS2/ and Neo Geo by creating and utilizing a cache folder for more speed for this N64 emulator? I think it would be great if coders were to collaborate with each other if they already have not done so so they can put their heads together to come up with a solution to speed, game capatibility, etc. I mean the GBA advance is the most intensive emulator on the PSP, now as well as the new PSOne emulator coming out, so there will be a solution here I hope. I know that the PSone and GBA were 32 bit and the N64 was 64 bit, but hopefully that will not matter too much.
Most of these negative people are just impatient. He's doing really well, and I'm sure he'll get there in the end.
Props to StrmnNrmn for working so hard on this, I can't wait till the day I'm playing Ocarina of Time on my PSP like it was on my good ol' N64
