Hacking DaedalusX64 has been updated

Wow your right, I tried 1.1.2 and I even get bluescreens without sound @Arecaidian Fox

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Hey Durelle, that's an issue it seems. Unfortunately, as you are using a Vita, it's a pretty different ball game. You see, sound in Daedalus is handled by the PSP's massively underutilised Media Engine chip. Since it wasn't available for commercial games, Sony barely emulated it for Vita, so as a result audio errors may very well be caused by this hardware/emulation discrepancy. We're sorry about this being the case, but we would have to rewrite the audio code to run on the main CPU just for a "Vita version"... we have a lot of stuff to do so it's not a priority, especially since all of us are PSP users. We'll get around to it eventually, we just can't say when.

Ah that makes sense lol, no stress tough, I'll test it on my go later, although I'll probably sell my go soon.

I wasn't talking about DaedalusX64 there...

Tested last version on PSP 3.000

Games i tested:
- f Zero x
- Mario kart 64
- super smash brothers
- Tony Hawks pro skater 3

Very playable without sound 30-45 fps in almost games

Edit never mind, keep up the great work @TheMrIron2

 

[Poudink]

why should dynarec loop optimization be disabled in SM64? I've never had any issues with it enabled.

 

[TheMrIron2]

Good news for those with a Vita; we've been experimenting with some Vita code and we will be able to push out 1.1.4 in the near future with some Vita optimizations.

I'll be keeping a eye out, if you need more testers let me know

Super news - just what i've been waiting for.

Can't wait :-)

Nice! Can't wait.

is this worth downloading? When i say worth i mean does it run 60fps smooth? Anything else i dont consider sucsess...cause i know i wont play if its not runing smooth, than im better off runing n64 on PC.

Also, whats with retroarch version of N64 core???

N64 is starting to work on Vita! Before you get too excited though, this is Angrylion (software renderer), so a slideshow :). (cont.) pic.twitter.com/3ZHF6ouZhW

Finally some progress, it's a little late, but I can always make a good use of it since the olders were very laggy.

It's playing better than before without audio, but still the same issues with the text.
Zelda Ocarine of Time 10-20fps here.

 

[Poudink]

the issue probably comes from you playing in widescreen lol

I think that makes no sense, but well, I just tested and it is the same after all, might be another config then? I tested some combos and didn't work. Did you test to check if it's all good to you?

 

[Poudink]

widescreen mode is glitchy, unless you're using stretched widescreen but why would you

 

[Malckyor]

As I said, I tested all modes and it is all the same. And of course I prefer to play stretched or widescreen, it bother me if it's not stretched on the PSP's screen.

This is a known issue and it is fixed with the "Texture Update Check" option. The higher the setting is set (ie. every 32 frames as highest), the less performance-impacting it will be, but text will take slightly longer to resolve. At 32 frames (or 16 frames, IIRC?), it is negligible on performance and fixes the issue, if you don't mind it taking a second or two to render the text properly when new text is scrolling in.

You have very high standards for a PSP emulating a N64, which in itself is quite an achievement. Fortunately, many games run at full speed without sound, including Mario 64 and Aerogauge. Star Fox 64 and Mario Kart 64 are two examples of games that average at a speed that is close to or full speed, but have drops when lots of things are happening on screen. No games really run at full speed without sound, though SM64/Aerogauge are very close from what I've played.

re: RetroArch Vita.. don't even bother. It's software rendered, meaning everything is being done on the CPU right now, and worse yet, there's no dynarec core so it's interpreted - and the Vita is nowhere near fast enough to do so decently. PSP actually has an advantage over Vita here since it shares the same CPU architecture as the N64 - MIPS - but Vita is ARM. Frankly, because it's retroarch and it's designed to be a portable core, I doubt it will ever run very well let alone at Daedalus levels... but we can hope, right? With GPU acceleration the Vita stands a chance, I would hope, but honestly I think the PSP's processors are better designed for N64 emulation. Who knows?

Yay, that really worked, although at 16 frames is faster to render and I don't mind at all to wait so I can read, and by the way, do you know any configuration that might help it run with higher FPS? (Oh, I still need to see it in battle or outside the village, I'll be working to go a little further in the game)

I recommend playing without sound and with the optimal settings on the daedalus wiki.

Thank you, aside from the frame skiping, it gave me a slightly better performance.
