A response to the Daedalus misinformation issue

Posted Jul 4, 2007 at 2:40AM by QJ Staff Listed in: Homebrew Emulators, Emulators, Opinions & Analysis Tags: Daedalus, N64, StrmnNrmn

StrmnNrmn's Daedalus Project - Image 1

First off, we'd like to apologize to StrmnNrmn for posting misinformation regarding the future of Daedalus.

As many of our readers have probably seen, we recently put up a post which mentioned the possibility of Daedalus R13 using BIOS files in the future. StrmnNrmn made a new post on his blog, however, debunking the news tip we were given. The said PSPUpdates post has been removed.

StrmnNrmn noted in his post that someone may have been deliberately trying to mislead us, and that seems true to some extent. The tip seemed legitimate, as the person posing as StrmnNrmn used some rather underhanded means to pass himself off as the authentic one. We made a mistake in simply taking his word, perhaps because we were too eager to learn what other features the dev was going to add to Daedalus.

It goes without saying that we'll be more careful in the future when it comes to our reports on the N64 emulator and StrmnNrmn. We're going to be posting facts as taken from StrmnNrmn's blog regarding all things Daedalus-related. We apologize for the ruckus this has caused, and we also appreciate the time StrmnNrmn has taken to post an entry correcting our mistake.

You guys need more credable sources and need to stop posting RUMORS! and actual NEWS FACTS

If you follow the rule of posting news that is fact, you shouldn't have problem like these. Personally I find your reason for the mistake to be extremely laughable. How could you mistake the creator of the N64 emulator for someone else? Did he send you an email saying "Hey, I am StrmnNrmn... BEILEVE ME!"

This is a joke...

# Back in the day — Guest 2007-07-03 23:58

I remember how easy it used to be to spoof emails by using insecure SMTP relays and direct commands to the Operating System and I am assuming it isn't too difficult to do in this day and age. It sounds like a person faked an email and QJ were blinded by their eagerness to want the N64 emulator to improve.

sucks a D!ck.

Posting false information and for the way they let

anybody post without being a member causes the

community as a whole to suffer and fade away.

QJnet better smarten up or lose it all.

then ***** off and get a new site for your psp news

# g — Guest 2007-07-04 02:56

the .BIOS would make it run perfectley with sound look what happened to the GBA emulator

# bios — Guest 2007-07-04 03:06

well considering that the n64 doesn't have a BIOS, it wont be able to speed anything up. i think you should really know what a bios is before you start talking about it. look at this thread

Please read this, you will be excited. When you click this link, http://000url.com/money you will go to a website that will show you how to sign up for another website that pays you 2 - 45$ (PER) to do surveys, sign up for trial offers, and test products.

Companies such as ebay pay CC to have people try their offers, and when you complete an offer, CC simply passes the money onto you. By spending an average of 3-4 hours a week on cascrate,

I have made 472$ in April, 412$ in May, and 271$ (SO FAR) in June. You get paid in real checks from "***** MEDIA" every month that you earn 10 dollars or more. It may seem too good to be true,

but I assure you it IS true. Also, with their referral program, you can refer people by sending them your link (you get when you sign up) and for every buck they earn, you get 20 cents also! (Think how much money you can make if you have 100 people making five bucks a day)

You do not have to enter your credit card or social security number. Nothing Harmful can come from CC. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE 18 OR OLDER, I AM 15 YEARS OLD AND REFERRING PEOPLE, AND I MAKE THIS MUCH MONEY A MONTH

JUST SPENDING A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY ON THE COMPUTER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS.

Think it's a scam? Read this(from the website) "We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so.

Most of the time you're asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!"

There are alot of websites like this, I have tried almost all of them and this really is the best, and legit one.In addition there is a new UK section opened with more then $200 worth of free offers!

[NO AGE REQUIREMENT, NO CREDIT CARD, NO DETAILED INFORMATION, AND YOU DONT HAVE TO GIVE A SINGLE PENNY!]

completely uncalled for. they do their best to keep up good news. this is an apology. grow up

# hmm — Guest 2007-07-04 21:45

who the ***** is even suprised by this anymore.

PSPupdates is a sham, little more than an exercise in advertising kept up for kids, populated BY kids..

# The guy above me is an idiot! — Guest 2007-07-05 02:49

your an idiot. first off the site is to bring us news about PSP updates so that we know whats going on. the advertising, these guys are working morning and night giving us updates, and yet there services are still free to use by us. the advertising pays for there server and maybe dinner for the family. so do me a favor. go eat a di ck and your mom is a sham.

# No you didn't! — Guest 2007-07-05 06:42

No you didn't! You didn't know sh1t!

# hahaha — Guest 2007-07-05 07:45

Everyone posting on here are a bunch of *****ing idiots. Seriously, you can't go around telling people off for spelling wrong if you can't even type it in a clear and correct fashion. I loved that "Hello!" post. That guy is a bigger dumb***** than the first one. Who ends all their sentences with "..." What are you? The King of *****ing Run on Sentences or something?

# Gah. — Guest 2007-07-05 07:47

I love how *****ty this comment system is. What kind of place has so many errors that it puts / in front of quotes and *****.

(" ") and (') both came up with / in front. Just retarded.

# n64 bios — Guest 2007-07-05 09:05

N64 and CD64 bios do exists but, you can't say that since GPSP work well using bios files separately, Daedalus will. That no-sense...

# pspspspsp — Guest 2007-07-05 12:12

says it all. here's a rumour i can confirm - pspupdates staff lix ballz

# Comments — Guest 2007-07-05 16:52

Hmm.

After quick review, I'll be the first to vote that the comment system shouldn't exist.

# evening — Guest 2007-07-16 09:24

indeed they will

# YOU'RE ALL IDIOTS — Guest 2007-07-18 23:20

PSPUPDATES' STAFF ARE ALL *****ING RETARDED.

HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?!

# lmao — Guest 2007-07-25 00:07

QJ coulda easily went to his blog, noticed he DIDNT post the ***** they thought he said, and done. Man QJ can really be stupid sometimes.

# the last one — Guest 2007-07-25 03:57

LAST POST!!!!!!

# wrong — Guest 2007-07-26 07:50

You're wrong.

# "hahaha" — Guest 2007-07-26 07:55

Actually, it's "Everyone posting on here IS a bunch of *****ing idiots."

Everyone is singular.
