Developer's note:

This release of DaedalusX64 is currently in beta stages of development.

As for the past releases of Daedalus PSP, this project is intended to show the potential for a N64 emulator on the PSP, but the currentrelease has many missing features that make it far from usable:

• Many roms won't boot.
• Some roms have serious graphical glitches.
• Various roms have random lockups and crashes.
• Many roms run at a low framerate.

Having said all that, We believe most of these problems can be overcome in the near future.

Installation:

• Copy the Daedalus folder to the \PSP\GAME\ folder on your PSP.
• Daedalus requires Custom Firmware 4.00 or higher, failing to install CFW 4.00 or higher will mean Daedalus does not load past the firmware check screen.

Upgrade Procedure

• Remove all HLE files from the SaveGames folder
• Remove rom.db and preferences.ini
• This will ensure that Daedalus is fresh.
