StrmnNrmn: Daedalus R14 Progress Update

Posted by x3sphere at November 26, 2007, 1:54 am


Last we heard from homebrew developer StrmnNrmn was his future plans for the next build of PSP N64 emulator Daedalus. Specifically, he spoke about moving audio emulation over to the Media Engine CPU. This would result in a drastic improvement in performance when audio is enabled.

How are those plans going? Quite well, according to StrmnNrmn:

The Media Engine work has been going well. The job manager I talked about last week is now fairly functional and handles executing the audio upsampling code in 3 different modes: synchronously, asynchronously on the main processor, and asynchronously on the ME.

In addition to making progress on the ME, StrmnNrmn decided to improve font rendering in Daedalus by making use of BenHur’s intraFont library, which uses the smoother built-in PSP fonts for increased readability. The result? See below!

i would love to use this n64 emulator, but it's just to choppy for my liking! if the emulation was as crisp as the 64 then it would be used! i mean can anyone actually enjoy mario kart 64 if it lags that much???

Kids are sure spoiled these days... we used to play games at 6 FPS on the Atari, and marveled at the speed! :w00t: :biggrin: These days, if it isn't 200 FPS, they whine like little bitches. :wink:

I love Daedalus! It's my favorite N64 emulator on the PSP. :wink:

Seriously, I think it's doing very well considering what it's emulating. Many of the games I like on the N64 are quite playable (by my standards... remember, I grew up on the old Atari 8-bit games). There are a few games I like that aren't playable yet, but overall, Daedalus is an incredible piece of programming.
