R10 Countdown

I'm in the process of tidying up my current build so that I can release R10 over the next few days.

There are a number of features/optimisations still on my TODO list, but as I promised last month, I'd like to release R10 by the end of March. I think frequent, small updates are better than keeping everyone waiting months between releases.

Although R10 will be a smaller update than R9, there are some great improvements (most of which I've already talked about):


An approximate 10-15% speedup
Frameskip, framerate limiting and stick deadzone tuning
Various small bugfixes


I'm hoping to have everything ready by Sunday afternoon at the latest.

One feature which might not make it is the Expansion Pak support. I mentioned that I'd finally fixed the bug that was preventing this from working, but I've been having difficulty resolving the various memory issues that it causes when enabled. Rather than delay R10, I'd prefer to disable the Expansion Pak support for now and release R11 early - as soon as I've fixed the underlying problem. I'll keep you posted.

[acn010]

me too... i just cant wait for it !!

[ExcruciationX]

Cool! :)

[Shadowblind]

Sweet, cant wait to play the 15% speed up!

[Zaitmi]

Does anyone know exactly how many fps 15% is? Is it like 3-5 fps more than usual, cause that's a lot! Someone plz let me know.

[BrooksyX]

Good to hear, I can't wait for sunday (maybe sooner!).

[Shiesty]

i hope this will be playable

r9 was useless to me

[IM back!]

cant waite!

[Malksta]

i hope this will be playable

r9 was useless to me

Dont be so rude, R9 was a HUGE acomplishment in the scene and the speed of games running were great (*some nearly full-speed)

[xg917]

R10 Sonnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lmao

[fenrir911]

Dont be so rude, R9 was a HUGE acomplishment in the scene and the speed of games running were great (*some nearly full-speed)



not to mention audio support too :) im trying to get more active with the communities, i can help practically any problem with loading homebrew and all that (47 downgrades, no bricks yeahhh)

[-=me=-]

this really is one of my favorite apps!

[DarthPaul]

YEAHHHHHHHH!!! WAITING CRYING WAITING CRYING!! lol

[BL4Z3D247]

sweet, thats...one...two...there....and a half days from now (est std time). can't wait :)

[Buddy4point0]

for the person who said + 5 fps, sorry but no its more like 2 or less. (15% of 30 fps is 2 and it runs at like 20-25 fps so its less than that.)

[factor remix]

this will have ME support? I think he told something like that a few weeks ago... I hope he dont forget the ME, like the frameskip with Daedalus RB-9

[emuking]

this is cool cant freaking wait!

[JKKDARK]

An approximate 10-15% speedup

oh yeah I can't wait :)

[felonyr301]

e didn;t mention anything about ME so I don't think he bothered with it on this version so that sucks but nonetheless every little update counts because it means we get closer to full-speed lol.

[SpacemanSpiff]

for the person who said + 5 fps, sorry but no its more like 2 or less. (15% of 30 fps is 2 and it runs at like 20-25 fps so its less than that.)

Wow, somebody failed math :p
15% of 30 is 4.5

[Shadowblind]

4.5 added framerate to 25=EXTREMELY playable. SWEET!

[Buddy4point0]

Wow, somebody failed math :p
15% of 30 is 4.5

oh lol its 1 am, i cant think , and im writing this on my psp

[wiredforpower]

yes!!! I'm looking forward to Sunday

[CaptainMorgan4]

Yeah the Martinsville race and R9 this weekend, sounds great, hope Jeff Gordon wins there again.

[shenske37]

Wow, somebody failed math :p
15% of 30 is 4.5

its 10-15% speedup of the current framerate

actually its not 4.5 (it would be 4.5 if the actual framerate was at 30, in mario 64 its currently about 22)

22 x 10% 2.2fps
22 x 15% 3.3fps

so somewhere between 2.2fps - 3.3fps, which is still awesome! I can't wait!

[dark heart]

damn man! you should of told us when you released it! now everyone's gonna be restless!

[sok98]

hmm... didnt he say he was gunna work on compatibility... that was what i was looking forward too..

[dj2005]

its 10-15% speedup of the current framerate

actually its not 4.5 (it would be 4.5 if the actual framerate was at 30, in mario 64 its currently about 22)

22 x 10% 2.2fps
22 x 15% 3.3fps

so somewhere between 2.2fps - 3.3fps, which is still awesome! I can't wait!

He used 30 as an example because of the person he quoted used it as well.

I am very pleased to hear of the speed increase. Every frame helps.

[luis_05]

yes!!!!!!!!!!!! who said the homebrew scene was dead?!? lol

[mnuhaily22]

10-15% sounds amazing right now!!!

[DarthPaul]

If Strmnn isn't satisfied or this emulator isn't what he expected to be for the R10 update,he could name it 9.5 or 9b or something. It would be best. And people could be less dissapointed... I remember that when R8 came and I saw all the improvements I hoped that for on the R10 Zelda could be running at playable speed. But by the looks of this...it won't.

[Buddy4point0]

unless it is r9b

[mnuhaily22]

Actually that is an awesome idea darthpaul, I hope he actually does do that, because R10 is supposed to be like the big bang, something huge...

[gr42178]

Great news, getting closer. Hopefully he didnt implement the ME yet that way well get another big speed increase on the next release. Keep up the good work. :thumbup:

[Lodis]

Great news, getting closer. Hopefully he didnt implement the ME yet that way well get another big speed increase on the next release. Keep up the good work. :thumbup:

If he uses the ME, it doesn't mean that there will be any speed increase but that depends on how he uses it. For example, if he uses it to take care of the sound processing only then a speed increase wouldn't be expected, it would just mean that sound could be enabled with no speed decrease.

However, if he decided to use it for the actual emulation then this would be different.

[kharaboudjan]

Fantastic news.. i think mario kart and mario 64 will almost be fully playable now :D

[Gold Line]

hello people he said that zelda mm would work on R10 ... YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! !!!

[gr42178]

He is not going to use the ME for sound, he said he was going to use it for the n64 processor, unless that has changed?

[.:}<3\/!}\{:.]

can't wait plz upload it on Satuday coz i'm off to Hong Kong on Sunday:).....................PLZ??? i want toplay this on the holidays!!!!!

[NeoXCS]

YAY! Can't wait for this! Great work! :D

[pkmaximum]

Can't wait for this also, I can enjoy Super Mario 64 with even greater speeds now =D

I remember he said he plans on using the ME to run the actual N64 process, supposely a suggestion from Exophase. Well none the less Great Work Strmmmmn!

[camcorderdoctor]

:thumbup: hells ya! I am so psyched I am froathing at the mouth with anticipation - should be a good improvement over r9 - more speed is nice - I can't wait to see how zelda plays - hopeing to see banjo kazooie games playable as well - thanks again Stormin' Norman - great work - you da man! :cool:

[cloud.x]

awesome:thumbup:

[aries2k4]

Really looking forward to the release. This is about the only thing left for me to look forward to on the psp.

[starogre]

hello people he said that zelda mm would work on R10 ... YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! !!!

no, he said it would work with expansion pak (sp?), not r10, and he specifically says expansion pak is not in r10 so he can release it sooner, even if it did load in r10 u wouldn't be able to play and enjoy it so don't get your hopes up

[Gold Line]

what the hell no no no i want to play zelda mm on sunday *cry*

[factor remix]

Great news, getting closer. Hopefully he didnt implement the ME yet that way well get another big speed increase on the next release. Keep up the good work. :thumbup:

why you dont want ME? I think if he could add ME in R11, it going to be great to play super mario 64, mario kart 64 and starfox 64 at full speed + sound

[kharaboudjan]

why you dont want ME? I think if he could add ME in R11, it going to be great to play super mario 64, mario kart 64 and starfox 64 at full speed + sound


he said that becuz he think there are going to get much more speed than 10-15 % when the ME is included :)

[gr42178]

he said that becuz he think there are going to get much more speed than 10-15 % when the ME is included :)
Exactly, there should be a big speedup when he implements that.

[gdf]

this is good, just in time for my holiday.

[xg917]

R10 should really be the big bang as some1 said earlier...
and i cant wait until the ME is included. if super mario, mario kart, and star fox run full speed that is perfectly fine with me. if it runs full speed wit sound as well. then that would be the bomb!!!!

speaking off bombs. ther was a bomb threat at my skool n we had to stay outside and as far as possible from the skool for like 4 hours. lol

back on topic. is that true about the ME, that there will be better sound emulation and full speed??

[headbanger15]

Does anyone know exactly how many fps 15% is? Is it like 3-5 fps more than usual, cause that's a lot! Someone plz let me know.
Let's Just say Mario64 will run full speed outside the castle. Don't forget about the helpful speed-up with frame skip!

[factor remix]

R10 should really
back on topic. is that true about the ME, that there will be better sound emulation and full speed??

yes, man you have played super mario 64 with daedalus r9 framskip?

put frameskip 2 and then put sound... the sound is almost perfect (in castle), it have some little annoying gaps, but strmnnrm can work on it...

lets say that average super mario 64 runs at 22 fps, then the 10-15% will be like 2 or 3 frame (I dont have a calculator, so I dont know how much would give the 15% speed up), now super mario 64 will run at 25 fps + 2 frameskip (its like 28-31) + ME...

Super Mario 64 with 28-31 average fps with sound...

[cirus5555]

carnt wait zelda and mario and starfox all portible time is a ticking (much happyness)

[acn010]

the most waited game for me to play is zelda...... i want to play it so bad... one more day left!!!!

[Stealth Kill]

Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ojdon]

Well, It's probally going to come during today, but remember guys and gals that it is the 1st of April :S

[CaptainMorgan4]

Yeah I'm drunk as shit right now and it's 624am here, so yeah ill be watchin the Martinsville race (go Jeff Gordon 24!) and playin R10, hopefully not with a hang over.

[pkmaximum]

Ya I'm laying in bed all day, I don't like April Fools day, as many people can be complete asses -_-. Last Year I waslked up stairs and I got a bucket of water thrown on me from my older brother. Well don't want that again lol.

[kylethesk8er123]

damn, sunday morning and no emulator yet. im waiting, strmnnrmn. oh yeah i forgot... its april fools day :( damn you strmnnrmn :'( i had my hopes up all week too. that ruined my day

[kylethesk8er123]

Let's Just say Mario64 will run full speed outside the castle. Don't forget about the helpful speed-up with frame skip!

i cant wait :)

[ojdon]

We'll just have to wait and see. Hopefully it isn't yet another crappy April Fools joke. I've been refreshing the thread for ages! :D

[kylethesk8er123]

its 9:30 AM and no emulator :( boo hoo

[Gold Line]

its now 5:30 PM and no emu

[hypochondriac]

Seems strange that he said Sunday afternoon at the LATEST! And yet it is still not here.

[xg917]

lmao, cant wait for it. im checking his page like every 5 seconds!! for me its 12 :40 PM. its not after noon for me. we just have to have patience ok

[Camelot]

It just had to be on april 1st :(

[JKKDARK]

Maybe it's a joke ? :(

[xg917]

o wow april fools... lol

[Gold Line]

oh thats just great april fools f-ing april fools dam it!

[acn010]

april fool?
nnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[xg917]

lol, maybe he will april fool us n say that he got full speed on his emu n dat he was lying about there was no 15% speed up and that everything works perfect. lol
u kno.. R10 is supposed to be the shit. maybe hes making final optimizations.. iono, im just fantasising... but imagine full speed on april 1st Release 10 of daedalus

[acn010]

coincidense?????
lol

[Camelot]

All I know is that having the release date on april 1st gives him the opportunity to screw with us if he choses.

[xg917]

true, but would he really do that?i dont think so..

[headbanger15]

How many hours away is Strnmmrmn from Mississippi? I wanna know so I can tell if R10 is coming out this afternoon or tonight.

[xg917]

he lives in london

[-Xandu-]

I remember last year when Fanjita made his april fools joke. It was that Fanjita and Ditlew were retiring. At the end, they got us a new eloader :).

[xg917]

lol thats a good april fools joke. maybe ST will surprise us in some way..

[dj2005]

I don't think StrmnNrmn would play a joke on us and not release it. I'm thinking he isn't telling us all the optimizations/features he has made for R10 though. But who knows. :p

[acn010]

oh.... everyone is capable to make huge jokes

[weirdelf]

I do

[xg917]

yeap but im wit DJ in this one. i mentioned that earlier. i hope that he throws in something good

[acn010]

xg917 checka tu mensaje

[camcorderdoctor]

You know... strmnnrmn is probably laughing his ass off watching everyone pull there hair out over his emu - lol - I know i am - have patience it will come soon enough - if i pull anymore of my hair out i'll be bald - AHHHHHHH! :rofl:
I can't believe how much traffic this thread has gotten just today, it's funny. This emu is almost as much anticipated as dax's custom firmwares - WOW

[Zion]

8pm where i am..........hardly afternoon :rofl:

i doubt strmnmrn would play a April fools joke on us though.

[xg917]

3PM for me, thats afternoon for me. i wonder wut time it is in london

[ojdon]

Well, It's about 20:25 in London, so is hardly afternoon, but doesn't the april fool pranks end at 12:00am? I thought that was how it went, anyway I'm starting to doubt this release and thinking maybe it is a prank, but I'll wait a bit longer...

[Buddy4point0]

3:30 in east coast us
and plzzz doint be a joke i want it now

[Shrygue]

Unless it's an Aprial Fools joke, maybe strmnmrn is still finishing it, if he has not released it yet.

[SSaxdude]

I doubt it's an April Fools joke. If it was Strmnmrn wouldn't have announced the release date in advance. He might be busy at the moment, so be patient.

[xg917]

i just need to get my mind off of this till later..

[ojdon]

Don't get so worked up over a PSP Emu, Yeah it is one of the best emu's just do someting social, like hang out with mates if it is the right time over there, that is what I do, it always passes the time.

[dan-the-man]

its 9:10pm here and im starting to get annoyed!!!

[BL4Z3D247]

relax guys i doubt this is an April fools joke, strmnnrmn wouldn't lead us on...and worst case scenario it'll be out by tomorrow.

[arch stanton]

He doesn't say which Sunday. :rofl:

[pkmaximum]

In any event its not like this update coming up is a huge impact anyway, so its best just to support Strmmmn and not try to rush an update release, he'll release it simply when he feels its ready. The End

Also like everyone else said, its April Fools day ;)

[ojdon]

Yeah but it is ment to run on 3.02OE-B in the GAME150 folder which the others don't because they just crash on the light blue menu. And for the guy who said he didn't mention which sunday it is ment to be this Sunday because he did say it will be ready I a couple of days, so that means this Sunday! :P

[arch stanton]

:(

[jurkevicz]

waiting patiently...

[aries2k4]

Lets give the guy a break. when he gets it done he´ll release it. I´m also looking forward to the release but we have to remember he has no obligation to us.

St
"I'm HOPING to have everything ready by Sunday afternoon at the latest."
