Daedalus R13 Coming Soon, Real Soon (For Real)

Submitted by greg; October 25, 2007

If you're anything like me, you've been constantly refreshing StrmnNrmn's blog in hopes the release of Daedalus R13 appears. And I'm sorry to say, you still need to wait, just a bit longer... Believe me, I'd rather be posting the actual download instead of saying, "try Daedalus R12 in the meantime." R13 is almost ready for prime time, according to StrmnNrmn's latest blog update. It's noted that the newly introduced savestates are working well and its current implementation provides for 10 save slots -- shared across all roms. You will have the ability to save to & load from any slot at any given time. Furthermore...

There are just a couple of things I need to finish off now before I can release. Firstly I need to check if the savestate you're loading is for a different rom than is currently loaded. If this is the case I need to scan through your available roms looking for the correct one, and load it. To make this efficient I need to get the RomDB which I use for the PC build working on the PSP. The second thing I need to do is come up with a decent way of linking some metadata to the savestate so I can show this in the UI. Just simple stuff like the full name of the rom, time the savestate was created and the total time spent playing when it was created. I figure without this information it'll be quite difficult to figure out what it stored in each savestate slot. The alternative is to add a text entry system to the UI so you can name each savestate, but I think this will just delay things even more.

So, in the meantime, give Daedalus R12 a try. ;) - source: StrmnNrmn's blog

ive said it before.......but if i told everyone that i was working on a PS2 emulator, you twits would all be creamin your pants at the idea, and be amazed when i release a program that displays the Playstation Logo....then release 22 versions of it with a 2 frame per second increase. Then you would say "At Least He's Trying" Pfft, Anyone can Try ! and no sorry, im not working on a ps2 emulator cuz i know its not possible.

suck on ma junk beotch !

Why would you do that?

# Pino 2007-10-26 00:01

Your name really suits you. You have made a total ass of your self. And how is the PS2 in any way similar to the N64? The PS2 is pretty much not gonna happen with the hardware limitations and the amount of work it would require. The N64 on the other hand is actually possible with time. So stop jacking off to your internet porn so much and just try to stop being a negative douche.

But a good question

# Ryan005869 2007-10-26 00:32

i believe the daedalus is a great emulator though i must agree with some of the negative guys here, instead of working with save state he should probably most worry himself about making this actually playable the FR is not playable IMO of course however im sure with time he will make this possible the guy creating/working on D13 is very good but IMO he has to get a couple priorities straight, anyways that my two cents take it however you want i dont really care cause im sure i wont read this page ever again lol well keep up the good work strmn gl with creating the best 64 emu for psp

# nate1936 2007-10-26 00:54

I think sound should be implemented. The sound at its current state sucks, and is the reason I dont play Daedalus much. Super Smash bros runs at 100% Mario Cart runs at 100% but when you turn sound on, the games go to shits? WTF is that about? And people complaining about games running bad, TRY to find another rom with minimal compression. They work better.
Well thats all I have to say.

O yea and they should get ocarina of time working too.

# Mofo 2007-10-26 01:19

pfft, i tried r11 a long time ago, its gay, none of my games worked, he should work on getting games to actually RUN before he puts a bunch of other shit in. these guys are right, wats the point of savestate if you cant play the game anyways... ill come back when perfect dark or goldeneye is playable. (never)

# KingPepper 2007-10-26 02:22

You Wasn't Playing FIFA 08 by any Chance on PSP, because i nearly did the same ;o)

# Cozzy 2007-10-26 02:36

oh horry shit! rook at me, i'm american...my eyes are ride open!

# Zippy 2007-10-26 06:33

good to see there has been a decent amount of work carried out before releases so R13 should have some major bugs ironed out.but as we know you may not see too much of an improvment from R12 ,this is becase you arent supposed to as its behind the scenes work.

saying that tho ,all of these optimizations and features create a more stable emulator and with more releases that focus on other aspects like speed and compatibility we will see a very nice working n64 emulator for psp,another thing is the sound issue ,you gotta know that sound isnt as important in emulation especialy as it can more easily be emulated and optimised when a later more fully fledged emulator is created,and to think that daedalus uses plugin based sound to begin with ,this can be seen as a temporary messure untill other emulator status is refined.

i still think game compatibility should be 1st on the list tho, even if its for the top 10/15 n64 games ,then build around it.

great work ,and never give up.

# JustPlayIt 2007-10-26 06:41

Y?ea, how do you know? but if it's like what you say then this is very good news ^_^
zeldaaaaa........ Killer instict!!!!! wootttt

# JustPlayIt 2007-10-26 06:43

so.... don't use it and GTFO!!!

# JustPlayIt 2007-10-26 06:45

next time.... smash your head against the wall is cheaper

LOL!!!

# JustPlayIt 2007-10-26 06:47

2 Thumps UP! keep on the good work....

thanks and respect your work

# RIKU_X3 2007-10-26 09:12

Go read some of his other recent blogs on his site and you would know too.

# sam 2007-10-26 09:31

just to let you all know, this emulator release has a 15-25% speedup, feel free to check on his website if you dont belive me at strmnnrmn.blogspot.com
it is NOT just savestate support

# hidden moose 2007-10-26 09:48

will this one have sound?

# Captain Screamo 2007-10-26 10:16

I said the same thing at the last release of this emulator... and everyone got all pissy.. now I see everyone is saying the same thing finally...
How about a speed update? Whats the point of working on save states when its to slow to enjoy a game to even make it to a save spot. I guess for now I am stuck with the xbox n64 emulator lol.

# sam 2007-10-26 10:33

oh fuck you all!FUCK EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!

# gregerson316 2007-10-26 11:31

And BTW, if you were to make any type of emulator, it probably would take you 22 updates, at least, to get a 2 fps increase. Hes only done 12 updates and the speed has increased every time. Yes it may be slow now, but give it time and it will be good. To everybody saying that savestate is useless and pointless, its not. It will help Strmnrmn make better and quicker updates. There is also a speed increase. So everyone stop talking $hit cause you cant do any better.
Strmnrmn, dont listen to these retards that are flaming you, there just jealous.

# gregerson316 2007-10-26 11:35

You must like shitty games. And he has got more games to work, learn to research and read his blog before making an ass of yourself. And I hope that you never come back.

# L 2007-10-26 12:38

Ya know what? I'm still complaining about it being slow, yeah, but... The first release? Do you remember that? Like... 3-4fps on mario 64 with almost... or I think... NO textures at all.

And now it runs at an average of 28-34fps with textures. So, this is progress, so shut the *uck up.

# L 2007-10-26 12:41

You, my friend, are a fool.
Piss off.

# yomama 2007-10-26 12:51

Great now we can save all the shitty slow ass games woo hoo!! I'll wait for Daedulus 100, maybe, just maybe then I play Mario with a decent framerate, and possibly even the sound at the same time? That would be swell. I now it's probably painstaking to write code or whatever and I imagine very time consuming, but fuck the features, give us speed and sound!! All the features in the goddamn world ain't gonna be any good if the fucking games are unplayable.

# lol 2007-10-26 12:55

affirmative, fuck all you ungreatful twats

# ronnie42 2007-10-26 12:57

GBA MULTIPLAYER EMULATER.ANYWAY DAEDULAS DOES NOT RUN FULLY ON SUPER SMASH BRAWL. this is only good for smash brawl an resident evil which is either emulated on psx emulation or via a homebrew app

# d/a 2007-10-26 13:04

no shit..

# d/a 2007-10-26 13:16

im greatfull for you making this emu. as slow as my grandma drivers.. lol

# markiz 2007-10-26 13:41

has this been going on for ages nearly 2 years, i said 2 years it wasnt going to work , slow jittery, arrrrrrrrrhhhhh hh, why bother

# Gold Roger 2007-10-26 13:48

finally.. i thought this guy has died . i cant wait for it

# sam 2007-10-26 13:50

it'll get there! all emus started somewhere, and no one thought it was possible to emulate n64 at all at the start, and weve almost got some games running fullspeed!
give it a few months and bingo

# James 2007-10-26 14:39

So...yeah...he has given all of his updates that he does...if he just popped out with no updates and came out with Daedalus instead of Daedalus with all the R1-R50, everyone wouldn't have any problems. All he is doing is being a great guy by letting us be the beta testers and you guys are acting like it's the finished product. Keep up the good work StrmnNrmn.

# Satchmoe 2007-10-26 15:15

I agree James. If you a-holes want faster frame rate do it yourself. Making this is his hobby imo. Its not like he gets paid to do it or anything. If he wants savestates over speed so be it.

# Cloudhunter 2007-10-26 15:16

Fuck you, all you ungreatful twats. At least he's fucking trying. And all you people fucking whining about save states instead of compatibility - SAVE STATES WILL HELP HIM FIX BUGS!!!!! As he can jump STRAIGHT to where an app crashes. So, what would you rather have? Him keep the save states for his debug builds only, or share it with you aswell?

I know what I'd choose.

Stop being twats, and realise that he doesn't owe you anything - and that he's improving it all the time. So STOP FUCKING BITCHING.

Cloudy

# gregerson316 2007-10-26 15:23

I 110% agree! PPL are b!tchin about it being slow, when they should realize that its has been good progress. It has only taken about a year to get this far. Nobody else could have done better. Just think of Strmnrmn as the Dark Alex of Deadalus 64.

# Acid_1 2007-10-26 15:59

it was playable on r12 too. just real slow. oh well, it's still interesting.

# erm 2007-10-26 16:02

i dont even know if it is actualy "possible" to get any N64 game, and by this i mean somthing like "conkers bad fur day" or "perfect dark" to run at fullspeed on a psp, it takes a pretty powerfull PC to get these running nicely, nevermind a fucking PSP for craps sake..if it is possible then its gonna take him fucking ages, years even, so be patient twats hes trying his best

# erm 2007-10-26 16:05

and in the mean time play on your perfect ps1 emulator, GBA, snes, megadrive, nes.....

# erm 2007-10-26 16:05

cunts!

# sam 2007-10-26 16:26

idiots, complete idiots, are you paying for this!?!?!?hes doing this out of the goodness of his heart and all you can say is "fucking shit emulator" what a load of ungrateful bastards you are

# DP 2007-10-26 16:39

I can wait like alot others, its like my ps3, so many ppl say wheres the games, well if you rush then its shitty, but if you wait to finish you can make a monster beast of a platform. PSP CFW 4Ever Baby

# DP 2007-10-26 16:41

And just think, N64 on PSP work really well as of now, theirs no N64 emu for the ps2, so from one platform to another with a lil more speed, you got a seller

# Some People??? 2007-10-26 16:53

I Agree with you. If I was strmnnrmn with all the negative talk. I would make it and show it on youtube and not release it. Too many ungrateful people anymore.....................

# ass 2007-10-26 19:20

HAH I also hope that by my negative comments....strmnrmm sees them and decides to stop wasting his time making this piece of shit work

# d/a 2007-10-26 22:34

i hope soon..i dont mean to be greedy about the hole thing but when one is realeasing something that doesent play 100% i guess you start wanting them to do it right after a while people start geting hunggry and impationt. its like teasing.. so you expect more.. the only game i care about is zelda.. anything alse i dont care about.. i can play it on pc yeah but its a lot more fun playing on a hand heald system.

# BarriePaul 2007-10-26 23:50

For F**K SAKES just realease this shit so you can work on 14 then 15 and so on. Ti'll you reach full speed and universally stable and compatible.

# d/a 2007-10-26 23:55

goodness of his hart to make us miserable with his slow fps.

# d/a 2007-10-27 00:07

why post something if it dosent even work... pointless.. lets play as fast as a turle cross's the street.. soon enough that turtle is gona get hit by a car. haha i dont know about you but i dont want to get hit by a car. if i wanted mario to moon walk i would use my gamegenie hahaha

# d/a 2007-10-27 00:16

paying?? are you out of your mind why would i want to pay for somthnig that dosent even work...nothertheless pay for something that i can get somewhere alse that works 100%

# DarkAlex 2007-10-27 10:55

DAEDALUS IS A WASTE OF WORK AND I CREATED THE M33 FIRMWARE BY MYSELF!!!! NOONE HELPED ME!! THERE ALL MADE UP
Peace-
Dark Alex

# Chuck Norris 2007-10-27 12:44

lol great idea

# Chuck Norris 2007-10-27 12:47

Wannabee DarkAlex, you are so full of shit. How dare you take the nickname of the legendary DarkAlex? You should get beaten up by old people..

# Fat Bastard Boss 2007-10-27 13:35

I don't care about shittin savestates!! I want updates with efforts purely on speeding up the god damn games and making games more compatible while i stuff my face with pies!! Savestate a turd poppin outa my fat yankee Burger King ass. Come on get with the program here! MORE SPEED AND COMPATIBILITY!! ! Worry about minor features last. Im your fat fuck of a Boss my subjects..... so do as I say! *chomp chomp chomp!!*

# Yoshi 2007-10-27 13:39

Id imagine the c buttons would be swapped to the D pad or something... only a few games used the D pad...

# Fat Bastard Boss 2007-10-27 13:42

True what the fucks wrong with these nerds LOL

# Fat Bastard Boss 2007-10-27 13:46

# commy 2007-10-27 14:55

plz dont be rude, he is taking free time out of his life to do this and i think he is doing a good job.

# blah blah 2007-10-27 15:35

you guys should be happy we have homebrew of some type for the psp. there are people buying the actual games and crying at night because there out of money lol....... yeah but anyways cant wait till r13 star fox is going to rape lives!!!!!!!!!

# Captain Screamo 2007-10-27 18:59

I like how everyone is jumping on the "you should be grateful" trip. Grateful of what? Releasing half assed work? I mean... I am not out to talk shit... but if he is "releasing betas and letting us be the beta testers" he should say so in his releases... instead of leading people to believe they are getting a worthy download. I do appreciate the effort... but I think (and from what I see alot agree) you should wait until you get some real work down on this and make a release. Like I said before... whats the point of save options when I dont even wanna play a sluggish game long enough to save... it's just worthless to play.

# Captain Screamo 2007-10-27 19:01

Oh and...

shut up u guys, be thankful this guy does anything that he does, u can't complain becuase i don't see u working to get anything for this site done, be happy he even wants to share his progress with us, he could just keep it for his own enjoyment and never give it to anyone, and if you r all just such pros at knowing everything why don't you get off your probably fat asses, stop posting useless comments here and do something that might benifit someone.

Thank you StrmnNrmn, most of us appreciate ur work and and progress, and help to bring a well running n64 emu to us, thnx alot

# hahahahaha 2007-10-28 23:12

who cares about savestates when u cant even play a game long enough that you'd actually wanna save

he may be a better programmer and shit than me,...but he's still a fuckin idiot to waste his time on this crap

SUCK IT

# Jmills 2007-10-30 19:21

damn alot of hate goin around one guy

i support what hes doing

and the thing about savestates- i dont use them i see them as i different form of cheating

people are complaining about the speed problem WE WHERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET SHITTY SOUND what the fuck do you think that in like a month its gonna run at a 100% NOT EVEN ALL SNES GAMES RUN THAT is a waste of time NO are some games unplayable? YES BUT NOT ALL OF THEM mario kart, star fox, Mario 64, and Super Smash Bros. all work at decent speed games i would love to see fixed are OoT, Majoras Mask and Diddy Kong Racing other than that

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND DONT READ THESE STUPID ASS COMENTS THAT IT IS A WASTE OF YOUR TIME (even though it kinda is cause your taking time outta your life to make everyone elses better)

# ashmep 2007-10-30 19:52
