Daedalus R11 is upon us

It looks like everyone’s favorite Nintendo 64 Emulator is finally up with a brand new version. Daedalus R11 is here, boasting numerous changes and fixes that should improve performance on everyone’s handhelds.

For those who haven’t heard of it, Daedalus R11 is a Nintendo 64 emulation application for PSPs. Using Daedalus, you can play your favorite N64 games on the PSP, such as Starfox 64.

In any case, here are the changes for this iteration of Daedalus:

• [*] Large overhaul of rom settings and preferences. All settings should now be persistant.
• [+] Native support for palettised textures for faster rendering and less memory usage.
• [+] Provided a fixed size pool for all texture memory, to limit memory usage.
• [+] Expansion Pak enabled by default.
• [!] Updated rom info database to include save mechanism for many roms.
• [!] Fix memory leak in texture cache.
• [!] Fixed conversion of RGBA/32bpp textures with odd alignments.
• [!] Fix crash which occurred when recolouring textures in low memory situations.
• [^] Large rewrite of texture cache to reduce memory usage and improve performance.
• [^] Various optimisations to the way textures are looked up in the cache and installed.
• [^] Optimise offsetting/scaling of texture coordinates.
• [^] Improve performance of dynarec fragment cache and reduce memory fragmentation.

Strmnnrmn‘s left three different files for people to use though: Daedalus R11 versions for 1.00 and 1.50+ firmwares, as well as the source code for the release.

As always, feel free to show off your enthusiasm for Strmnnrmn’s homebrew application in the comments below, and don’t hesitate to drop him a line at his blog if you wish to thank him personally for another job well-done.
