While most of the coders out there work within the same circles, one of them seems to be standing on the outside, causing his own storm of sorts. External from most of the drama, StrmnNrmn is happily living in his own world, giving us one of the greatest homebrew emulator projects for the PSP: the Nintendo 64 emulator, Deadalus PSP. As a tribute to Daedalus' third year anniversary this month, here's your QuickGuide for reminiscing (or catching up!) on the life and times of StrmnNrmn so far. Strap into your seats, we're heading into the eye of the storm!

Big news, the beta 2 for Daedalus X64 is out now and ready for download. This version features some major changes, so your ROMS run much smoother than before, plus a lot of other changes from the first beta. Check the complete changelog in the full article.

I'm sure more than a handful of you have been wondering whatever happened to the Daedalusx64 project. We were expecting something for everyone's Nintendo 64 emulator of choice for the PSP sometime towards the end of last year, and now, Kreationz has finally announced that Beta 2 may be getting a release shortly, and while we're waiting on that, they're also holding a design contest for all you guys to join in!

"No, I didn't choke on a mince pie :)," writes StrmnNrmn in his blog. Yes, he's back in action, folks! He finally makes his presence felt but talking about what's been going on for the past couple of months: he's busy with work ("work" here being a "high profile game"!), the DaedalusX64 team and their efforts, future plans, and his top-secret project of porting Daedalus to an entirely new platform!

We missed you StrmnNrmn! Godspeed! There will be cake!

Woot! Yes, indeedy: StrmnNrmn is back in the scene! We just got confirmation from Kreationz that StrmnNrmn is joining the DaedalusX64 team - not full-time, mind you, but more as a consultant with some minor contributions. We also get news that he's working on a port of the original Daedalus project too!

*Update* Kreationz has clarified certain matters and given some new info.

This was a triumph! We're making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS. The DaedalusX64 project is out of beta alpha - they're releasing on time! Turns out that the the team working on StrmnNrmn's Daedalus N64 emulator project for the PSP has decided to actually release a beta version before their DaedalusX64-tailored R14 release. Y'know, a beta version to whet your appetites before the main course. See Kreationz's public message in the full article!

Here's an update on the new Daedalus project, or rather, the DaedalusX64 project, which picks up after StrmnNrmn's R13 release. This update comes from Kreationz, and it looks like a pretty good start for R14. Details after the link.

*Update* We finally get a hint on the first public beta version's release date!

N64 emulator for PSP">Daedalus ain't dead yet! I'm sure a lot of you guys (myself included, actually) have been wondering what's been cooking for the PSP's all-time fave Nintendo 64 emulator, so here's some good news for you. A couple of Daedalus fans got together to help get the N64 emulator project going - they want to help the community by picking up where StrmnNrmn left off. And so starts the DaedalusX64 project.

Holy smokes, can it be? A Daedalus R14 Beta? That's right folks! And it looks like it's got the beginnings of Media Engine support. This beta doesn't come from StrmnNrmn though, but from developer Wally. And this FW 3.xx release comes from creator StrmnNrmn, flavored by developer Wally, and was given to you and your PSPs. Check out the details, plus a new update, at the full article!
