1. why is this news via emurussia and not daedalusx64.com?

2. goldeneye does run, just turn off loop optimization and make sure double display lists is on

3. paper mario runs as well. i´m not sure of the settings required to run it if any... however, if you´ve played the game up until the crash with Daedalusx64 beta 1 and havent touched your savegame folder since (not savestate) then you´ll need to go into the savegame folder (not savestate) and delete the 3 files with ``paper mario`` in the name

[evilgonzo]

Super Mario 64 - Playable , 19 to 30 fps , Minor glitches
Superman - Playable , 13 to 23 fps , Major glitches

Everyone should also note that compatibility will be different on the PSP Phat and Slim due to RAM size differences.

[evilgonzo]

Thanks for the heads up on Goldeneye. And just as a comparison for the last release of Daedalus ... http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=170795

[ziegrim]

I've never used this emulator before but I was surprised to see Starfox 64 plays pretty well without sound though it boots up kind of slow. Nice work.

[V3N0M]

I've never seen so many people pull together to help complete a homebrew project. When the main coder goes on hiatus, the project usually dies. Excellent work!!!

[mike_jmg]

Great work, keep it up

[walliester]

well i try starfox and i mario 64 they play nice ,you could see the difference. major props to all of them.

[djemotion]

lite?

[Buddy4point0]

lite?

The full version includes the preview images for a lot of games.
It raises the file size to just over 9MB and is available on their website.
DaedalusX64 Full Version (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=243484&release_id=665134&package_id=312302)

I've also converted all the images to 256 color mode for my own personal use.
They don't look much different and it reduces the file size to just over 5MB.
My version is available below.

[Salvy]

evilgonzo make sure you play with the settings before posting is not working
Both Goldeneye and Pilotwings works with Loop opt disabled.

[stanfy86]

every time i try to start a game (and i follow the recomended settings in the readme) my psp crashes, and im testimg games that worked with beta 1 ....anyone else have this??

[Epedemical]

Command and Conquer Doesn't boot. Unplayable

F-Zero X Works, but takes awhile to boot, the menu is invisible as well as the in-game vehicle graphic, making the game virtually unplayable. Runs at a 20-35 frame rate with the audio option disabled. (Strangely this game almost worked perfectly in the r11 or r12 version of Deadalus.) Unplayable


Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Works, minor graphic issues, fps with audio is 9-15. fps without audio is 10-17. Playable

Lego Racers Deadalus continues running but the game itself does not start. Unplayable
.

Star Fox 64 Works. Fast even with audio enabled (20-35fps), but with audio disabled this game has an amazing in-game frame rate of 30-45. Playable

Super Mario 64 Works with a high frame rate. (Of course.) Playable+

Super Smash Bros.
Works with occasional crashing (blue screen of death). Frame rate is 15-35 in-game with audio enabled and there are only a few minor graphic issues. Playable

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 works with a 15-24 frame rate.
When the Audio is enabled however, the game begins to drop down to 2-10 frames per second and usually displays a blue screen of death before you can complete a level. Texture update check needs to be enables in order to see a few minor but necessary options throughout the game. Graphics aren't perfect, but the game is overall playable, if the audio is disabled. Playable

Also, this beta has issues with quitting one rom and starting another. After exiting a game and returning to the rom selection menu, once you chose another rom and select "Start Emulation" Daedalus freezes.

for me too. i tought because phat has less ram than slim and this doesnt hapens on slim :D

[stanfy86]

i can confirm that the daedalus beta 2 is not compatable with CFW 3.71....i updated straight to 5.00 m33-6 and all is well now

[Epedemical]

Figures. Although it seems like if possible they should make it so that daedalus will clear the ram after quitting a rom so no one runs into this problem, as it gets annoying quickly.

Yeah, I had to upgrade my PSP from CFW 3.71 to CFW 5.00 to get this to work as well.

[Epedemical]

Army Men: Air Combat Graphical issues, game boots but images freeze onto screen and constantly flash preventing the game from being playable. Unplayable.

Army Men: Sarge's Heroes Graphical issues, game boots but images freeze onto screen and constantly flash preventing the game from being playable. Unplayable.

Army Men: Sarge's Heroes 2 Graphical issues, game boots but images freeze onto screen and constantly flash preventing the game from being playable. Unplayable.

Banjo-Kazooie Extremely slow frame rate that leads to crashing if audio is enabled. With audio disabled this game works with a frame rate of 5-9. Playable-

Crusin' USA Does not get past title. Daedalus continues running, but rom seems to halt. Unplayable

Perfect Dark Doesn't boot. Unplayable

Pokemon Stadium 2 Actual battling does not work but the beginning menus do. Unplayable+

StarCraft 64 Doesn't boot. Unplayable

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire Takes a long time to begin emulating and then remains at a black screen with a low frame rate. Unplayable

Star Wars Episode I: Racer Graphical issues, freezes at main menu. Unplayable

Stunt Racer Doesn't boot. Unplayable

[No_one_in_particular]

Pokemon Stadium 2 Actual battling does not work but the beginning menus do. Unplayable+
Well then what's this about:

It's listed as playable on their official forum.

Perhaps it is a PSP Phat-only issue. I retested it and I got the same results. It still crashed at the beginning of the battle scene.

[LHorse007]

Happy to see this still an active project. Still hoping to play goldeneye on the PSP :)

[imsonic]

OK some one needs to make an emulater that plays paper mario or some one needs to give me a link to one that will play it or a rom that will work cause thats the only game i want to play! You can send it to my email [email protected] and put as subject Paper mario

[darkriku2000]

Right! Everybody stop what they're doing, imsonic wants to play a specific game!

:P

[crazyrat]

how can i play mario64 on psp

[darkriku2000]

By using an emulator

[imsonic]

ya its funny how people can sit here that know how to make emulaters and just talk about it insted of making one that works. Its sooo muck easyer to emulate a ps1 then a n64

[imsonic]

And yes everyone should stop what there doing just for me And others that like to play N64 insted of playing games in slowmoshin and without sound

[stanfy86]

I can confirm that this emulator is not compatable with firmware 3.71 m33, i had to update in order to get it to work.

@ imsonic, the devs have stated that they arent working on specific rom optimizations, but general optimizations to the emu to increase general rom playability, yes many games get un-playable framerate, but because this is a HUGE task (coding wise) we wont see every game playable for a while, just be patient.

[imsonic]

i know that but whats funny is making an emulater of ps1 is easyer and you can play almost any game with sound and without lag but the n64 emulater cant play much games and the ones they do dont realy play sound and or lags with or without lag.

[Kreationz]

Stadium 2 is well "mostly playable". There is an issue with the gym leader castle, but the game is playable for the most part. Also, Salvy recently fixed a bunch of the graphics in the game as well.

Edit: Sorry, that was a response to an earlier post. The PS1 emulator is made by Sony. So, if you would just ask Nintendo for the source code to the N64 firmware and a complete API for it and we'll finish fixing things up right away just for you. Secondly, the N64 is harder to emulate do to the N64's hardware vs. the PS1's hardware.

[Kreationz]

Figures. Although it seems like if possible they should make it so that daedalus will clear the ram after quitting a rom so no one runs into this problem, as it gets annoying quickly.



Yeah, I had to upgrade my PSP from CFW 3.71 to CFW 5.00 to get this to work as well.

This issue on the Phat has been resolved. The old code got broke when Howard0su added the code to fully load ROMs up to 12Mb into the Slim's memory. I fixed the bug for the Phat and now it loads up to 16Mb ROM's fully into the Slim's memory. (Which is strangely the largest ROM buffer it will handle at the moment...) Now it Phat compatible and a tiny bit faster on the Slim.

BTW, this change along with some graphical updates and some other changes have been released at the SourceForge site as Beta 2 Update. It was Alpha Rev 333. We're at 337 currently with a few more graphical fixes F-Zero being one of them, but the (U) version of the ROM doesn't work. lnglish users should use the (E) version.

Final Note: Default settings should work for most games now. Loop Optimization and Double Display have been removed due to bugs in them.

[wiredforpower]

All I'm asking for is zelda oot. That's all I want if its compatible with anything. Doesn't seem like that would be easy though.

[MajorFoley]

guys this really works! :D

Legend of zelda ocarina of time v 1.2 USA works it may have a few sound problems when you turn it on which i mean sound crackly but it works so far i've ill let you guys know how far i get

im currently trying with:
texture update check - every 30 frames
frameskp - 1
limit framerate - yes
double display lists - enabled
dynamic recompilation - enabled
dynamic stack optimisation - enabled
dynamic loop optimisation - enabled
high level emulation - enabled
audio- synchronous
controller- default

try tweaking and we might get full speed this goes around maybe 10- 13 fps but i think it might still be playable

ill give you more details later on

[MajorFoley]

ok guys this game is better off with no sound because i think with sound when the deku tree speaks it might freeze im not completely sure but it seemed to when i tried to change the options so try with no sound first then whatever:(
