Daedalusx64 Beta 1

Daedalus is back from the dead, in the form of Daedalusx64 – taken over by various PSP dev’s after the disappearance of StrmnNrmn (Presumed MIA). Chilly Willy, Hlide, Wally, Howard0su and Kreationz have been working together on DaedalusX64 Public Beta 1. This release features many bug fixes over StrmnNrmn’s work and some speed improvements through optimised code. Beta 1 also includes TV-out support, nice!

StrmnNrmn has posted an update on his progress on Daedalus R14, according to the homebrew developer things are going well on his work implementing the media engine to handle the N64 audio emulation.

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

StrmnNrmn has commented that he has implemented use of BenHur’s intraFont library, using default PSP Fonts which come out a lot smoother looking. (As you can see from the above screenshot) The Progress made so far is great, keep up the good work StrmnNrmn!

StrmnNrmn has outlined his plans for Daedalus R14. In the next release StrmnNrmn has plans to look at the N64’s Emulators performance and where it can be improved. Mainly looking into implementing audio on the PSP’s Media Engine. Which apparently will improve the frame rate somewhat as in has minimal inpact on the fps. As processing the audio in Daedalus R13 takes a big hit on the emulation frame rates. Also planned is thumbnail support on the save state feature that was implemented in the recently released Daedalus R13.

All and all its shaping up to be good if he can pull it off, which I’m positive he can. Read the full post over at StrmnNrmn’s Retro Console Developer Blog.

“I’m very close to releasing R13, I’ve just been struggling to find the time to add the final finishing touches to the savestate support. I’ve found it hard to get into a regular working pattern since moving, so what should have been a 1 week job has ended up taking a month. Bioshock and Halo 3 haven’t helped either”
