Daedalus R10 - Image 1


Yes, we know what date it is. But aDcOoL and RomTheStampede both tell us that StrmnNrmn updates his blog for today to say that he's launched Daedalus R10. The files look legit, he even releases the source code under the GNU General Public License. And heck, he wanted it out end-of-March; it's only a few hours since March 31, right?

Here's the changelog:
  • [+] Added frameskip option.
  • [+] Added framerate limiting option.
  • [+] Added adjustable stick deadzone.
  • [+] Allow pause menu to be activated even when rom emulation has hung.
  • [!] Fix crash when no roms found, added explanatory message.
  • [!] Fix flickering when small number of roms found.
  • [^] Fix texture hash frequency check.
  • [^] Finally got code compiling with -O3 optimisation flag in GCC.
  • [^] Use VFPU for InvSqrt (thanks hlide!)
  • [^] Improved VFPU code for clipping and tnl (thanks Raphael!)
  • [^] Improved inlining of AddTri.
  • [^] Reduced time spent searching for overridden blend modes.
  • [~] Remove debug console in public release builds (smaller footprint and slight speedup.)
Download files below (jack-in-the-box not included), don't forget to read the Readme for all the important stuff, so StrmNrmn wishes everyone a happy retro portable gaming day, and we hope no one's replaced your PSP with a gigawatt taser as their prank for today...

Love the update, man it has come along way, to think that it was thought impossible at one time. Simply remarkable, Mario 64 with frameskip at 1 plays lovely, little slow down here and there but none the less playable by far.

» idiots that complain

if you have time to post negative comments in any of these forums regarding the skill of a programmer, then you have plenty of time to get off your lazy ass and try to do something better. If you are incapable of bettering yourself and surpassing your own expectations, then just die you whiny pieces of human trash. ***** everyone that gives destructive criticism and praise everyone that gives useful constructive criticism. Honestly, I am very impressed that strmnrm has even been able to accomplish what was at one time in the not to distant past, an impossibility. Amazing job strmnrm, you are top notch, keep it up.

For one, the only game that works worth anything is SM64. And that was re-released on the DS.

And I have a DS and PSP, and I happen to love both.

Who cares what anybody says on this website, anyone over the age of 14 with half a brain can figure out that StrmnNrmn is diligently providing the psp homebrew community with an amazing piece of software. Keep up the good work!! Can't wait for R11

by Rich - 2007-04-01 16:59
» Boy i hope your not retarded.

You know english to leave a semi-retarded question. Now their are no stupid questions, unless the person asking them doesn't bother to read anything about what he is downloading. It is people like you who end up bricking their PSPs by downloading anything with an appealing name. This is a work in progress so don't expect perfection just yet.

» Thanks!

Simply, simply amazing.

The speed improvements are great, and another step toward achieving full-speed n64 emulation.



A couple of games still don't work, but I'm sure that will be addressed in time. The frameskip option is great, and really does make a huge difference.



This emulator has really come a long way, and just keeps getting better. Thanks StrmnNrmn for developing one of the greatest homebrew applications for the PSP console! You truly are an asset to the homebrew community!

Im in Florida U.S.A, and on StrmnNrmn's site, as i constantly refreshed it, it released exactly after 5:00 PM. on sunday, march 31. just as he promised. most of you are on the other side of the planet so your day will be diff.



And the frameskip option, just get in daedlus menu, press R or L, this will switch to a diff menu, and you will see allll the customizable options there.

» PS3 emulator

I did that too, I opened the source and changed a few lines of code, and boum! I turned Daedalus into a PS3 emulator! All PS3 games work perfectly, full speed with sound, and the PSP also gains the useless ability to detect movements. I rule! I might release it, but I'm working on a way to emulate XBox 360 first. I think adding something like this should work:

printf("Hello, world\n");

» how about no?

No, we can't, for downloading ROMS you don't own a hard-copy of is I-L-L-E-G-A-L. Try using the amazing tool that we call a "search engine"

» Works well

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time works pretty well besides a bit of lag and glitchy sound. Majora's mask won't boot though :-(.

» stick deadzone

What is the configurable deadzone thingy for? Is it good to be set high, or low, does having a full memory stick contribute anything bad when it is set higher, lower? Does it improve your gameplay in anyway, graphics, speed?

Any help appreciated
