Daedalus now at R9!!! - Image 1

StrmnNrmn has just released the most-anticipated 9th release of Daedalus. This writer literally ran to find his PSP and its charger when he heard about the release of this wonderful N64 emulator. The second you get into the game, it becomes apparent that this emulator has come a very long way since the initial release. For comparison, I went with Super Mario 64 and tested out the framerate.

The second Mario pops out of his beloved green tube, the game seems to be running at full speed (not quite there but very close). With sound enabled, it seemed to lag slightly; turning off the sound, though, makes it seem to run extremely fast. I cannot give any framerate counts as there were no visible FPS counter, but it is indeed at a playable speed...until you get into a level.

I immediately entered the infamous bomb stage and went running around and noticed a slight speed increase but not by much. The graphical glitches in the game all seem to have been rid of without any loss in speed.

StrmnNrmn has worked extremely hard on this release and I think we all owe him a huge "thanks" for continuing his development on the N64 emulator. Sony has already beaten us to a working PSX emulator, but hopefully we can get Mario on the PSP at full speed soon enough to show all our friends that Sony and Nintendo can once again work together! The general, noticeable changes in this release include:

Speed is faster
New UI
Audio
Various graphical fixes

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

Re: gta2800 (Unregistered) - 2007-02-21

» random guy

he didnt say R9 was old you idiot, he meant the first post thing. and ill leave a comment on this. i just tried it. i know its still a work in progress, but playing this thing at these speeds suck. im not being ungreatful StrmnNrmn. i appreciate all your hard work, i know eventually you will get this working at maybe full speed. but for now the games arnt really playable for me, just too slow, but like i said keep up the good work.

Yeah waht that hell is up with all the popups. Every time I go to a new page i get a popup

Re: Advertising -

Re: drew4237 (Unregistered) - 2007-02-21

» popups??

I use firefox and i never get a popup from qj. but it might be one of my extesions that blocks them. even if you dont use firefox as long as you have sp2 u have a popup blocker just enable it and set it to high so you dont get any

Re: dark_march - 2007-02-22

» pop-ups?

im an internet explorer user but i'm not havin any pop-ups just get a good pop-up blocker or zone alarm firewall

Re: Kichigai - 2007-02-22

» Firefox FTW

I wouldn't trust Internet Explorer if my life depended on it. It's still full of major security vulnerabilities. If you're unwilling to go FireFox, then grab Opera. For the sake of your poor over-stressed virus scanner and anti-spyware software, get something more secure.

I'll be the first to post an intelligent comment.

First of all, excellent work StrmnNrmn! The sound implementation seems good, although it does lag at times. It's still not quite fullspeed on most games, but Mario 64 runs near-perfectly, with the exception of cutscenes and menu transitions. Still have to try a few other roms.

oh, sorry PurpleDeath and Carrera, when I posted it was just the "first post owned!!LI!KJ@LJIL!" comments that were up.

by Video Game Obsession.com (Unregistered) - 2007-02-21

» great emu, but still not playable imo

the best I get is around 17FPS in super mario 64 with the sound turned off and the smaller 4:3 320x240 screen. I was hoping for near-normal speed with the audio turned off on at least SMB64.. I would rather people didn't hype this stuff up.

Keep up the good work though. I'm sure it's tough to get something up to speed on a limited CPU.
