Homebrew [RELEASE] DaedalusX64 (N64 Emulator)

You're missing the DSP firmware.

Mmm ok, let me see.

You're missing the DSP firmware.

Now yes, thanks.

With some problems, but is playable.

@Psi-hate @MasterFeizz Has Quest 64 gotten any better? I imagine it now runs full speed in your latest version, but how's the rendering? Are there still glitchy graphics? Are you also working on the graphics engine, or only code optimization/compatibility right now? If you can get Quest 64 AND it's Japanese version Eltale Monsters working 100%, I will be very tempted to buy a N2DS just for this emulator.

Did anyone ever answer this? I'm bent on buying a N3DS, but the answer would help me decide in advance whether I should start saving for it now versus later.

Have you checked the compatibility list? If yes and it's not there then I can take a look with my backup of it.

Not in the spreadsheet, sadly.

@MarcusCarter Just tested it and the game runs at a very decent fps with no frameskip enabled on a n3ds. It is currently unplayable as you can see in the image it is all black even though you'll see your character move around by the dust from him running. I was able to navigate to exiting a couple of doors but not exiting the monastery. The title screen was emulated well. Also you can see there are some issues with the text having a pink background instead of having a pink outlining, but I would call that minor compared to the rest.

Same with Holy Magic Century (Quest 64 in Europe). You would buy a N2DS just to play Quest 64!?
Back in the days of the N64, people would save up their money for Ocarina of Time.

I'm using the cia version of the emulator and the no-intro dump of the original USA version (non rev a).

I've been trying to get it to load again but with no success so I'm not sure why it worked that one time.

Was Banjo Kazooie playable?

Yes it is playable with auto frameskip 1 when you follow what I wrote earlier in the thread.

thanks @MasterFeizz ! Didn´t know i could play Mario Kart 64 or F-ZERO X in my O3ds XL ! Audio off and frameskip disabled did the trick

I finally did it! (16 star run btw)

@MasterFeizz I noticed that the PSVita nightly has async audio, which Rinnegatamante tweeted about tonight. Is the implementation one that would work on the 3DS as well? Thanks.

Suggestions for future builds:

· original aspect ratio option
· turn lower screen off
· is it possible to avoid sound choppiness when frame rate is slow so our ears don't bleed? This is something typical of emulators · but I wonder if there's a way to improve it
· button mapping (currently Z -trigger- is X which is awkward)
· alphabetical order for roms
· in-game save feature

Regarding optimisation, that is obviously the most important matter. I asked how much optimisation do you guys think that can be achieved considering New 3DS limited power because I'm impressed with Super Mario 64 running almost fine when PSX and Virtual Boy games have so many issues on New 3DS (RetroArch).

I think that this is a great thing because N64 games look awesome on the 3DS screen and because the 3DS is compact and so... portable. So thank you, MasterFeizz. We are excited to see how far optimisation can go.

this is a fake in old3ds run extreme bad

If you look closely on the picture he posted you can see it's running at 10 fps which seems to make sense. He probably managed to do it, but it was most likely not a very smooth experience.

I've already implemented async on my local branch. It provides a small fps increase in some places.

Audio disabled + frameskip at 1 gain a couple of FPS

Would that also fix the sound choppiness so sound would be correct in spite of frame rate issues?

No

No

And is there a way to fix that?
