"I got back from my trip yesterday and I've spent a few hours today putting together the final changes for Daedalus PSP R8.

Here's the changelist:

[^] Replaced all uses of sceCtrlReadBufferPositive with sceCtrlPeekBufferPositive.
[^] Various known value optimisations for the dynamic recompilation engine.
[^] Various texture cache optimisations and rendering optimisations.
[+] Implemented a new clipping method which is more efficient and gives better results.
[-] Removed 'tesselate large triangles' setting.
[+] Added option to reset emulator to the main menu.
[^] No longer use index buffers for rendering.
[^] Implement matrix multiplication using VFPU.
[^] Implement vertex transform and lighting code using VFPU.
[^] Implement clipping code using VFPU.
[^] Minor AddTri optimisations.
[^] Free background and font textures while emulator is running to free VRAM.
[!] Fixed bug in default controller config (c-down and dpad-down were broken)

It should be pretty obvious that most of the changes in R8 are optimisations. This build is significantly faster than R7, which is a significant achievement considering how much R7 had achieved in this area. Here's an updated view of the framerate table I introduced a couple of months ago and updated recently:

Scene R4 fps R5 fps R7-beta fps R8 fps
Mario Head 3 6 8 8
Mario Main Menu 14 25 30 38
Mario Peach Letter 6-7 11 13 18
Mario Flyby (under bridge) 6 10 12 17
Mario In Game 5-6 9 11 15
Mario Kart Nintendo logo 10 23 24 35
Mario Kart Flag 6 11 13 16
Mario Kart Menu 7 11 13 14
Zelda Nintendo Logo 20 23 ? 70
Zelda Start Menu 2-3 4 ? 8
Zelda Main Menu 10 13 ? 40

I think the numbers speak for themselves. What's particularly impressive is that the R8 results are so high, despite having the new clipping code enabled by default. By implementing the triangle clipping code and the transform and lighting code using the PSP's VFPU I've managed to keep the additional cost to a minimum.

With the previous release, I also mentioned a list of things I had planned for R8. I decided to put them on hold while I pursued the various optimisations in R8, so I'll be looking at working on them for the next release.

Have fun - I'm going to wade through the past couple of weeks worth of emails that have built up while I've been putting this build together :)"

[aries2k4]

Cool R8 is officially out. Want to compare it with the pre-release build. Those numbers do look good. Shows the improvement that has been steadily been being made on this emu.
Keep up that great work!!!

[Zion]

[BL4Z3D247]

[Video_freak]

I'm guessing no, because he said it didn't improve speed that much. ;)

[gunntims0103]

[aries2k4]

One word, WOW!!!. The pre-release was good to wet the appetite but this build is sweet. Mario64 is definately playable, and without the nasty black holes and error glitches. With every release he´s making the impossible more possible.
this emus is starting to shine. Fantastic work!!!

[V3N0M]

it was really playable in R7 too...well for mario 64

Ya i know, But it was a little to slow for me its actualy quite enjoyable now. I bet sound will be in the next release or 2 its getting fast enough to handle it.

[joe.gomes]

incredible, mario64 runs at 30fps in the castle's fountain !!!!

[Gene]

this is almost full spead!!!!! YOU DA MAN!!!!

[jimmi]

but still some cmopat. issues but U DA BOMB u rock seriously

[psiko_scweek]

star fox 64(U)

plays at a steady 22FPS (peaking at 32fps) during the intro story

plays about 10 at the title screen

plays at 24fps at the main menu

plays 20 FPS during mission breifing

and bout 10 FPS during gameplay.

[coolsoul]

cool realease again well thansk for spending ur time for us well cant wait to play mario 64 in sound :)

[Kvonx]

Great job, this is moving way faster (mario 64)

[Kvonx]

Thanks again for going out of ur way to make dis a reality!!!!!!!

[V3N0M]

I bet we got a few games running at full speed now.

[Plowking]

This is great. I've watched this progressing, but haven't yet tried it.

I've tried it now and I am amazed.

Mario 64 seems to be fully playable at the moment, and only a little sluggish - however once you enter the first area, the framerate will drop a lot to around 10 fps.

PS. it works on 2.00 through eloader.

[mameuser]

Hope a frameskip version will release soon

[Kramer]

yeah the frameskip+plus new graphics would be the best.
Has anyone tried zelda oot yet?

[jimmi]

can some one pm me the best workin games ... or post ? cheers

soz to be naggy

[emuking]

omg i love this site so much :D

[jimmi]

[jimmi]

[felonyr301]

yay gonna try to see how zelda goes brb!

[tallica]

cant wait to see how mario kart is :)

[gslop]

WOOHOO! This made my weekend. :D

[PShadow]

I tried Zelda Ocarina of Time. It's slow but not too shabby. This is really great stuff, looking forward to the final release for sure =P

[emuking]

I tried Zelda Ocarina of Time. It's slow but not too shabby. This is really great stuff, looking forward to the final release for sure =P

final release would probaly be r30 or r40 :)

[PShadow]

<_<

[playamp3]

Quest 64 is very playable

[emuking]

starfox averages 20 fps while your playing, i managed to get to the end of the game and beat it and see the credits it had very few graphic errors :D

[aries2k4]

Rampage world tour is also running great. It was already playable before but now its even better, of course. Another game I play with this emu is Virtual Chess64 because you don´t need that much fps and sound. It´s a pain playing with the analogic though

[emuking]

<_<

i was kidding but still telling the truth thats the ballpark number there when the emu will be close to perfect :D

[gunntims0103]

mario 64

runs extremly well and is probaly the best run game so far speed wise iv gotten as much as 30 fps at sum parts in the game and 20 fps in game levels its very stable and really good

banjo kazui

this runs kinda slow and is still not up to "playable" for me yet its very slow in the beginning epecailly on the intro

rampage

runs very well i actually have fun with this one runs good in game and is very playable

zelda 64

omg let me say very long waiting time iv been here for about 30 min until it actually started its ok still slow not at its best yet for me

ball park for me wen this emu will be complete and many games fully playable i belive r13-15 thats a good number il give it

[.:PSP1.0:.]

Awesome release definatly faster.. thanks Strmnnrmn :P

[tuta]

Great wonderful super mario is more playable but my fav game in n64 super robot wars 64 is not workin as great with bad graphics the only problem
hope its fixed in next realease

[pkmaximum]

Hmmm I love this emulator as the rest of you, and believe me I admire Strmmmn's great work as always. But I do believe that the Pre-R8 release was faster than this current R8 release. Of course the pre was more choppy and less smoothe were the official is. But it definently won for playabilty and speed. I definently want to see those won back for R8 as those are very important to have when emulation a system such as N64, or any emulator when it basically comes right down to it =S

[vettacossx]

if you have 1.5 and want mario music for your irshell to listen to ;).....download ,mario mp3 file and stick them in your music folder launch irshell.,..start your song....then loop it ....next start your 64 emu ....and your off...with sounds....lol...;)

[Kramer]

lol i might try that:p

[JD/]

This is awesome I love the way that StrmnNrmn puts all his effort into making this n64 emu im gnna download it and try it now :)

[tuta]

Some one help me why this emu keeps crashin on me when I use 1.0 eboot then convert it to 1.5 and hide corrupt data?

i use sei and psp brew but all keep crashin on me when I exit with home button?


nvm got it workin:)

[four_add]

after i exit mario 64 via the home button, the psp crashes.. so does with Quest 64. is this normal with R8?

ecit: nvm, have to go main menu first, then exit from there.. :o

the reason the pre R8 was faster is cuz u were still able to turn on/off tesselate large tris, that option isn't in the official R8 release cuz it was running fast enough where we don't need it

[lordnibbla]

This is great! I got aeroguage running at 15-17 fps.

[luis_05]

Wow!!! mother fu**ing tizight!!!! i am crying as we speak! so many things are happening to the psp homebrew scene!! truly happy days ppl, truly happy days.

Super Mario 64- is really playable!! really!! no bs!!!

diddy kong racing-just gives a blue screen and the graphics are off :-( fr// 12.36

fifa 99- really slow, with some graphical errors- fr//11.46

MArio kart 64- playable. few glitches when u turn. fr 9.78

and yes it does have a framerate option

[dj2005]

Wow this is absolutely amazing. Keep it up!

[JD/]

i jus stopped playing zelda 2 say strmnnrmn owns zelda feels faster than pre 8 even though theres no triangle option :D (soz 4 typos psp needs a keyboard).

[YourStillWithMe]

Off subject and i do apolagize-VIDEO FREAK!!!-Check your pms i couldnt send you one because theres not enough space in your mailbox!!!!

by the by-sorry about that kickace release!!!!!!

[Nafogel]

great release Strmnnrmn. You are awesome!!!

[idapimp]

time for a speed limiter

[Mr. Shizzy]

This is absolutley fantastic !!! This emu is on of the crowning achievements of PSP Homebrew. I'm currently looking for my broom & dustpan to sweep my jaw up off the floor. lol. Great work, StrmnNrmn.:D

EDIT: I tested 4 roms. Mario64, Mario Kart64, Rampage, & MK Trilogy. The first three were playable w/ no noticable graphical glitching.:) MK Trilogy did run, but at an average of 13fps with major graphical glitches. (The fighters appeared only as silloettes.)
Excellent work.:D

[XioN980]

Zelda Saving works w0000000000t!!!!
So cool!
I am pumped on red bull and Zelda :D :D :D :cool: :cool: :) :) :) :) :)

Bet sroon understands

[D0N]

Woohoo! Go Daedalus! This is fantastic work! Judging from the FPS they have gone up everytime he put out a new release for us! Keep it up!

[tophead420]

awome this is great news to see i just got home and its awsome to see a new release of this emu and now i cant wait for the next one keep up the good work man

EDIT: well heres what i seen on there R8 release
Mario Head 8
Mario Main Menu 34-39
Mario Peach Letter 20-21
Mario Flyby (under bridge) 20-21
Mario In Game 15-20

lol this is even better then the results u possted which makes me even more happy great f nn work man and keep it up

[Gazz021]

just tried with Mario64, excellent update.keep up the good work.

[razorak]

oh boy...hope to try it once my psp gets charged

[Wally]

Full Speed releases worth looking at
Pokemon Stadium 2 (damn this is 64mb and its already full speed)
Forsaken
Bust a move (all three)
Star Soldier - vanishing earth
ExtremeG- Not sure if this is full speed yet (I assume so)

[jak66]

super smash bros works but still no 1 player mode (training or vs only) and characters are invisible, fps= 10-15(also dynamic needs to be off)

[steven1980cad]

This is a great improvement on R7.

Ive just quickly tried this on mario 64, it plays much better, Strnmnrmn is like a god to the psp community.

Keep Up the good work, and thank you Strnmnrmn.

[SweetFA]

Well it's the first time i've downloaded it since R5 and the difference is incredible.
Mario 64 is indeed very playable, can't wait for Goldeneye to work on a later release.

[ACID]

Sweet after 24 houers working i run in to this great.

[alucard001]

Daedalus R12 is gonna be the final release and have full speed lol

[Plowking]

People mention that Mario Kart is playable, but I'm finding it very glitchly while turning.

To be honest I wouldn't care if this was just a Mario 64 emulator only! I'd love it.

Ok, maybe Goldeneye too.... :-)

[Xiro]

plowking i think everyone would be happy with a mario 64 emu, but why do all of that coding for one game, when with a few extra hours a week it can play hundreds.

[gsmumbo]

I know I am, and i bet many more are too, but the next game I'm hoping will be worked on(like sm64) aside from zelda is smash bros. that was one of the most popular games on n64, gc, and most anticipated for wii. if we could have super smash brothers working(past character selection) that would be awsome.

[Alucard]

Hey guys,

In Super Mario 64, what button do you use when promted to save. I tried x and square, but neither of my games saved when I did that.

Any help would be appreciated.

[jak66]

when asked what you want to do (save and continue, save and quite, contine dont save) press the button mapped to A (usually X) then press select, the memory stick light should flash a little, then your game should be saved

just about to learn first song on loz:oot, (zelda's lullaby) will try to post screens later
with dynamic on i got around 8-10fps, but unfortunatly it crashed so i tried with dynamic off, its around 2-5 fps (mainly 3) and no crashes yet so hopefully i can get to second dungeon (i cant remember how you spell the name though lol)

[Alucard]

Yeah, that's what I thought. But it didn't work. I have not been deleting the older version of Daedalus when installing the new. When I deleted what I had on my card, and tried the new one, all worked beautifully.

[Poem58]

this is the first release I tried...TOO FREAKIN SWEET!!!
Star Soldier works with minor graphics issues....very minor in my opinion and very close to perfect speed if not....Star Fox...it said 9-12fps...absolutely NO WAY it was that slow...at least it didn't seem that slow....until the 3rd level in the underwater world...hit 3-4fps and REALLY SEEMED it ....went from never getting hit much to dead as you couldn't see enough to stay alive well...

Awsome all the way around that it is that good!!

[Xiro]

now that is dedication. Too bad zelda saves won't work... are you just going to keep your PSP on and plugged into the wall or what?

[BL4Z3D247]

after u save in the game hit the "select" button and if ur MS lite flashes it saved :D

[Xiro]

blazed but SRAM saves are yet to be added so zelda can't be saved.

[liquid8d]

Best I have found so far (Working on a complete list, finished the B's right now ;)): These are all in-game numbers...

Aerogauge - 16
All Star Tennis 99 - Eeprom4k - 21
Blues Brothers 2000 - 16
Bust-A-Move '99 - 25
Bust-A-Move 2 – Arcade Edition - 36 (missing the dial texture, I recommend '99)
Mario Kart 64 - 15
Quest 64 - 21
Star Fox 64 - 18
Super Mario 64 - Eeprom4k - 15


I'll be posting the full compat. that I found later... right now i've tested 46 and 26 work (50% working!) Of course they aren't all literally playable, missing textures, etc.. but those 26 are all going in-game. Impressive!

EDIT:

Some more for your fun...

Aerogauge - 16
Blues Brothers 2000 - 16
Charlie's Blast Territory - 15
Chopper Attack - 13
Deadly Arts - 11

EDIT 2:

Duke Nukem Zero Hour - 9 (very little issues other than speed)
Earthworm Jim 3d - 16 (texture issues)

A quick update, out of 83 games tested.. I'm through the E's, 49 went in-game (again, not fully playable, texture issues and so forth, but still a great accomplishment!)

EDIT 3:

New additions (now through G's)

Forsaken - 20 (missing object textures, but definitely playable)
Glover - 10

This list is USA games only, btw... haven't tried Japanese games...

[gavind]

i have a question that has probably already been answered but does this app work with devhook and if it does would it speed it up if you set the CPU to 333mhz???????

[pkmusicmaker]

Honestly, I haven't really been keeping up with this emulator simply because it just didn't seem like it would ever be possible to make it as good as it is now. This is the first release I've downloaded since R1 and I'm very impressed, and was actually playing Mario 64 for a little while. Keep this up, I'm really shocked by this.

Daedalus rocks! :)

[pibs]

[BL4Z3D247]

Nice release. Ive never played anytype of N64 Emu but ill give it a shot since I hear speeds are great
can't go wrong with mario 64 its fast :)

[jak66]

sorry about not posting this stuff yesterday, heres are the screenshots and my own save data that starts inside of dodongos cavern!!!

to use it must be the same name as your rom
i.e. your rom should be in ms0:/n64/ or ms0:/psp/game/daedalus/roms/
if it is called zelda64.z64
the save should be in ms0:/psp/game/daedalus/savegames/
and called zelda64.sra

(due to time and speed limits, this save has no bottles yet, to avoid random crashes/freezes like i had when i got to bomb chest turn dynamic off)

[JD/]

wow nice you got further than i did you dont mind if i use this save do ya :)

can you tell me how you saved it mine was working for a while then it stopped when i got into the sling shot in the deku tree.

[SpacemanSpiff]

How are you people getting saving to work in Zelda? If I save from the in-game menu and press select, when I play the game again I don't have a save file. Do you have to get to the Deku Tree first before you can save or something?

[jasybaby]

thanks for this. will give it a go.

[sroon]

well for all you good people, I have made a save for zelda OOT!
the save is just after you beat the first dungen ( the deku tree)!
Iv also talked top the owl so you can just go and explore hyrule field!
just name your Zelda rom "Zelda64"!
hope it helps!
( O ) ( O );)
oh and as you can see (from the pics) i sure have had a lot of fun!
one more thing!
if you would like me to make a save at the goron city or sumeplace, dont hesitate to ask!

[Video_freak]

Thanks sroon. ;)

[salomon st]

hey sroon can u only have one save throughout the game??

[sroon]

hey sroon can u only have one save throughout the game??
I think so bro!
but if you want i can make a save further in the game if you want!
( O ) ( O );)

[salomon st]

that must take a long time since it likes to freeze throughout the game at random i got past the deku tree and was in the field and it froze on me after a little while but sure a further save would be nice this is my faorite game ever

[jak66]

sroon, sorry but if you look on page 12 youll find my save at the dodogno's cavern...i beat you to tit and got further

[sroon]

;)
sroon, sorry but if you look on page 12 youll find my save at the dodogno's cavern...i beat you to tit and got further
Didnt see your save!
this is the second time iv posted a save so i thought im the only 1 doing it!

( O ) ( O );)

[jak66]

lol, thats cool, as long as it helps others why not post saves
as for the team thing, sure why not, i probably wont play zelda for a few days now

[NovaKane]

Wow, I must say this release run A LOT faster than the last time I tried this emu (R6).

I only tried Mario 64. Do any of the wrestling games work? If so, how fast do they run:

WCW Vs. nWo: World Tour
WCW Vs. nWo Revenge
WWF No Mercy
WWF Wrestlemania 2000

[michael chan]

thx

[Sharkey]

I tested probably 30 games. None of them werefull speed but there was a significant increase in speed than the last release.

Of the ones I tested I would say these are playable, albiet a bit slow...

Extreme-G
Forsaken
Hexen
Off Road Challenge
War Gods

[jak66]

i played oot on my xbox (modded) and it runs full speed on there and the framerate is at 19 so if he could get oot to 19 i would be happy

[robjanos]

yo do you think there is a way to take game saves off your computer from the program files of an emulator and put them into the save folder of Daedalus.

[Baboon]

I cant believe how fast this is now... Mario 64 is very playable (all we need now for this game is sound). There’s a handful of other games that run very well for me too (Forsaken, Bustamove 99, rampage etc).

Thank you sooo much Strmnnrmn for bringing us N64 to PSP...your a LEGEND!

[salomon st]

yeah did u play the real mario lately on ur n64?? its like playing mario on crack 100th post btw!!!

[Tinnus]

yo do you think there is a way to take game saves off your computer from the program files of an emulator and put them into the save folder of Daedalus.
Of course, just use the PC version of Daedalus to take the saves :rolleyes:

yo, wat about zelda oot? im skipping through the thread, so i dno if its bin answered already or not. does it work at a playable speed?
wat games DO work at a playable speed?

[mnuhaily22]

It is the best N64, but it is kind of slow running on the new e-loader.

[animekid4]

i tried out paper mario and kirby 64 and all i get is a black screen.....-__-......ahhhhhhhhhh.....so frustrated with all these frigging emulators..................................my brain still hurts.:( :( :(

[Video_freak]

Not all games work... ;)

[ICE]

i already have a good selection of n64 roms for my computer so i cant wait until this thing gets to a more playable level. its amazing how far these guys have already gotten with this thing. fan-freakin-tastic work.

[pibs]

i just hope perfect dark works on r9 also golden eye and maybe (fingers crossed) some audio :D

[Baboon]

i just hope perfect dark works on r9 also golden eye and maybe (fingers crossed) some audio :D


Some sounds would be nice, but I doubt this will happen to a much later release.

This emu is really comming along nicely though. :D

[mnuhaily22]

This is running on the new e-loader, in game mario runs at about 12-14fps, can't wait for a full speed one.

[zevende]

AWESOME!!! I just tried it out with my psp 2.71's first piece of homebrew, daedalus! This is great news!!!

[Solidsnake3000]

?

[2Kase]

Hey im new to the forum - im really interested in having this N64 emulator on my PSP but i dont know how to go about doing that. Could someone be kind enough to give me a walk-thru on it. It would be greatly appreciated. i stay in atlanta if someone in this area would be better at doing this themselves. it is also a version 2.60 can it still run?

[thewizard]

nice thank you :)

[greenbhoy]

Please Help! - First post so be gentle! :o Thanks ever so much for the emulator!!!! :)

When I try to launch a ROM (like Mario Kart 64 - which you guys say works great) - I just get unending Mem Stick access with a black screen. :confused: The Application itself seems to work fine....

I am launching the ROM by hitting the "start" button - is this correct? PS I am using the latest v8 release....

Many thanks in advance for your help....

Regards GreenBhoy

[migokalle]

can someone give me a save file for OoT (adult and maybe also forest temple done)?

[mesosade]

Just download the files, put the two folders inside your psp/game folder on your psp directory and put the roms in the rom folder. It's still slow though with alot of graphical errors. Ths was being updated reguarly, I'm not sure whats happening now.

[Gold Line]

yo, wat about zelda oot? im skipping through the thread, so i dno if its bin answered already or not. does it work at a playable speed?

Zelda oot loads and looks good but the speed is only about 25% Mario 64 is the best game for speed full speed in most parts mario kart 64 runs fast but when i had this emu runing the game crashed 10mins after it was loaded pokemon Sta2 runs good but all the pokemon are pink.we have not herd from daedalus in a long time it might have shut down for good!!!!!:(

aint that the truth :)

[psp1.5hacked]

[cirus5555]

think your doing an amazing job any news on the version 9 no rush jus carnt wait to have sound on it keep up the great work man

[josh666]

why do my roms have no sound

[sok98]

because as of right now there is no sound support in the emulator

[josh666]

ahhhhhhhhhh ok thanxs i must have missed that

[sok98]

haha no problem

[CaptainMorgan4]

I'm Captain Morgan (if you remember the compatability list I made for Daedalus) and though I haven't spoke to StrmnNrmn, Wally did. News has it StrmnNrmn is fine but no word on the project, it's still alive though. I do wish he would update the blog, not just about Daedalus but at least about him.

[msdmatt]

i downloaded daedalus and put the folders in my PSP (2.50, that have anything to do with this?) but every time i go to daedalus on my psp it says "corrupted data." any suggestions how to fix it and get my ROMS working?

[Musoka_Eimin]

matt you need to do some more research into all this, but here is a start to point you the right way, homebrews only work straight out of the game folder on ver 1.50 since you have 2.50 you can either figure out the best way to downgrade your firmware or you can use one of fanjita's eboot loaders i believe on 2.50, you should be able to figure out a way to get things running but its going to take a little research and decision on your part hope this helps

[Maguin]

Any news from StrmnNrmn?. It's been quite a while since he last updated his blog.

[nailman2]

http://psp-news.dcemu.co.uk/sd00046rw.JPG

Strmnnrmn (http://strmnnrmn.blogspot.com/) posted this news:


"I got back from my trip yesterday and I've spent a few hours today putting together the final changes for Daedalus PSP R8.

Here's the changelist:

[^] Replaced all uses of sceCtrlReadBufferPositive with sceCtrlPeekBufferPositive.
[^] Various known value optimisations for the dynamic recompilation engine.
[^] Various texture cache optimisations and rendering optimisations.
[+] Implemented a new clipping method which is more efficient and gives better results.
[-] Removed 'tesselate large triangles' setting.
[+] Added option to reset emulator to the main menu.
[^] No longer use index buffers for rendering.
[^] Implement matrix multiplication using VFPU.
[^] Implement vertex transform and lighting code using VFPU.
[^] Implement clipping code using VFPU.
[^] Minor AddTri optimisations.
[^] Free background and font textures while emulator is running to free VRAM.
[!] Fixed bug in default controller config (c-down and dpad-down were broken)

It should be pretty obvious that most of the changes in R8 are optimisations. This build is significantly faster than R7, which is a significant achievement considering how much R7 had achieved in this area. Here's an updated view of the framerate table I introduced a couple of months ago and updated recently:

Scene R4 fps R5 fps R7-beta fps R8 fps
Mario Head 3 6 8 8
Mario Main Menu 14 25 30 38
Mario Peach Letter 6-7 11 13 18
Mario Flyby (under bridge) 6 10 12 17
Mario In Game 5-6 9 11 15
Mario Kart Nintendo logo 10 23 24 35
Mario Kart Flag 6 11 13 16
Mario Kart Menu 7 11 13 14
Zelda Nintendo Logo 20 23 ? 70
Zelda Start Menu 2-3 4 ? 8
Zelda Main Menu 10 13 ? 40

I think the numbers speak for themselves. What's particularly impressive is that the R8 results are so high, despite having the new clipping code enabled by default. By implementing the triangle clipping code and the transform and lighting code using the PSP's VFPU I've managed to keep the additional cost to a minimum.

With the previous release, I also mentioned a list of things I had planned for R8. I decided to put them on hold while I pursued the various optimisations in R8, so I'll be looking at working on them for the next release.

Have fun - I'm going to wade through the past couple of weeks worth of emails that have built up while I've been putting this build together :)"

great work on r8.....almost beat mario

No one really knows whats happened to him, but i will say this. Where ever he has gone i wish him much luck in what ever he does and i want to thank him for the releases he has done so far. I do understand from being a coder that there could have been various reasons why he had left the scene namely users asking to many question and bugging about the next update and being unappreciative due to not running at flawless speed or having sound.

Thou i do hope that strmnnrnm has not left the scene if he has it is a reality we all have to live with. Thats just being honest!

[pkmaximum]

Ya its too bad, I would like to hear an update on were Strmmmn is at this point too.

I wouldn't mind if he quit so much, I just do not like the idea he leaves for like a month with no word, if he is still working on the project or not =[

[xg917]

well.. i hope strmnnrnm is having a good time on vacation or with family if thats the case, no need to rush on things

last post in his blog was on Monday, September 25, 2006...... that was a long time ago...

Daedalus R9 Expected Soon with Viewport Scaling! - posted on Thu Sep 07, 2006 6:31 pm.....
http://www.pspbrew.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5027

i actually wonder if something tragic happened...i hope he and his loved ones are ok..

[gunntims0103]

yea it is quite odd for a coder who has a blog and is relitivly known on the internet, to suddenly vanish without a trace on the net. That seems quite odd. In the time spand from his last blog entrie to know thats a long time for a coder to not be online don't you think.

I hope nothing bad happened to him as well as his loved ones.

[xg917]

wether we get to talk to him or not, i wish him the best and also happy holidays! :) who knows, maybe he will be the santa of this forum and leave a little present for all of us, leave him virtual cookies and milk, lol

[Sukairaa]

can someone help me here I can't seem to make Daedalus R8 work

the first thing I did I downloaded: daedalus_psp_R8_v150

then I put a rom (Star Fox 64) in the rom folder

then I put both Deadalus and Daedalus% in my PSP/GAME folder

after that I go to Game then Memory Stick on my psp and then select Daedalus and then this message pops up saying:

This game cannot be started.
The data is corrupted

also my Deadalus% appears as a corrupted file

can someone help me make this damn emulator work, please?

[Tinnus]

What firmware do you have? Go look at the stickie on how to run any homebrew before asking stuff like that ;)

[Sukairaa]

ahhhh crap.... I updated my psp to 2.71... there goes all those emulators...

edit: oh for... I can't downgrade my psp since its one of those ta-082 >.<

[gr42178]

That is weird him just disappearing....doesnt anyone know him personally?

[xg917]

ahhhh crap.... I updated my psp to 2.71... there goes all those emulators...

edit: oh for... I can't downgrade my psp since its one of those ta-082 >.<

na man, u can still play emulators and everything, u jus have to downgrade since downgrader came out, or u can do it the old fasion way, hen d and devhook

just ask me if u need any help.



and yes that is really weird that he just dissappeared.. once again i hope he is ok. i hope he has a happy new year as well as every one else, happy new year

[CaptainMorgan4]

Yeah Happy new year and good luck to the Packers in tonights game, Wally who works closely (or at least did) with StrmnNrmn said that R9 will come out and that to not lose hope. If you ask me (captain morgan, if you remember the Captain Morgan Compatability Test Results for Daedalus) I think StrmnNrmn just took a while to like work on the emulator without distraction. Like one day he'll just pop out and release R9 and it'll just be out of this world, maybe even a perfect N64 emulator!

[alucard001]

what the heck happened to Daedalus (no more updates)

[Chipmonk328]

I dont get it...where do I go to get the actual PSP emulations. I wanna get Perfect Dark myself...

[CaptainMorgan4]

Can't talk about that here Chipmonk328 but check you PM box I think you'll be happy.


edit: Nevermind you can't except PM's but google freerom and coolrom, that's all I can tell you so appreciate that.

[Chipmonk328]

well, thank you, I think..You see, it did work..the first time...now all it does is reinstall itself instead of working..suspicous...kinda makes me nervous...anyways...how do i transfer it to psp now? (Im SOOOOOO new to this thing...>.<)

[XioN980]

Fulfil the README's destiny and do as it says: You are its Bitch

[gr42178]

Fulfil the README's destiny and do as it says: You are its Bitch LOL!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup: couldnt have said it better myself.

[Chipmonk328]

no offense, but I dont know what You mean. WTF? I mean...I know what a readme is but...wha?

[BrooksyX]

I was hoping that Strmnmrmn was going to surprise us all on Christmas or New Years. I wish he would at least let us know that he is not working on the emu anymore if he has stopped. Hopefully someday he will rejoin the scene or someone else will pick up where he left off because he had a real amazing piece of work.

[CaptainMorgan4]

Yeah I really was hoping he'd pop up during Xmas or New Year's too. I don't want to sound or create any false rumors but it's like he died. I know the odds of him actually dying are incredibly high but I mean the way he just suddenly left with no remarks or anything it's like he died?

[Chipmonk328]

no offense, but I dont know what You mean. WTF? I mean...I know what a readme is but...wha?
Ok...so yeah..I found the readme....read it....and I still am not sure what to do...my version is version 2.60...PLEASE dont tell me I have to go buy a version 1.5 or somthing...cuz that'd suck! and well yeah...I saved it and did everything it said...im confused...:confused: :(

[Harshboy]

Downgrade to 1.5 then update to 3.03 OE-A Then put Daedalus on your PSP. Get a game or two and enjoy not being a retard;)

[sroon]

WAAAAAAAAAAAW Im petty sure its dead lol
ita been a while n stuff.. anyway I sold my psp:P but im buying a new one tommarow:)
(O ) ( O)

[scottyboynow]

Why are people bumping threads

[Chipmonk328]

Well, that Inferno guy was no help..ok well maybe a little..but he was such a jerk..and please dont call me a retard...god....I KNOW I need to upgrade and down grade...but for some reason I need some help because It wont load on my psp...the guy said he'd put a comment up on this thing...but WHAT A SURPRISE!! HE DIDNT!

[inbae1994]

Suckers

[johnston829x]

5 months....5 MONTHS and no update...its been 4 months and not a single word from strmnnrmn? i hope everything is alright...are there any friends/testers who have talked to him or heard anything? the damn blog hasnt been touched since september... :(
