Nintendo 64 Emulator Released! "Daedalus" (works with 1.00, 1.50 and 2.00 firmwares!)

Daedalus


Two Versions Available for Download: For PSPs with 1.00/2.00 Firmware, and For PSPs with 1.50 Firmware.

Update! A new version of this emulator has been released enabling it to be run in User Mode so it is compatible with 2.0 Firmware, as well as 1.0 and 1.50 Firmware. The R2 update also fixes some of the minor issues that were being reported, such as hardcoded firectories and missing files. The download has been updated as of 5:00pm EST.

Yep we have a N64 Emulator! StrmnNrmn has released the first public build of his N64 Emulator, Daedalus. And it's working pretty good. Although it's a port, it still shows that given the right amount of perseverance, anything can be achieved.

Here's what's not working for now :
  • There is no savegame support.
  • There is no audio support.
  • Not all the N64 controls can be used.
  • Large ROMs (i.e. over 8MB) cannot be loaded.
  • Many roms won't boot.
  • Many roms have serious graphical glitches.
  • Many roms have random lockups and crashes.
  • Most roms run at a low framerate.
It will be solved in further updates.

Without further ado, here's some screenshots.

It isn't running at full speed, but heck, it's better than nothing - there are atleast  few running games. Plus, the application is open source. So anybody can check it out and improve it. Make sure to check out the readme. It's filled with a lot of important info.

Edit: Technically, it was PSMonkey who released the first N64 Emulator, even though it only ran Homebrew ROMs. Our apologies to PSMonkey.

And thanks for the heads-up Wutale
