This is the binary distribution of Daedalus. If you are a
developer, you may find the source distribution more useful.

What is Daedalus?
*****************

Daedalus is a Nintendo64 emulator for PSP/Windows/OSX/Linux. Daedalus is named
after the craftsman at King Minos's court who designed the
labyrinth for the Minotaur.

Getting the Latest Version
**************************

Binaries are currently hosted on http://www.daedalusx64.com
Source can be found on https://github.com/hulkholden/daedalus
The most recent version of Daedalus will always be available there (and hopefully mirrored on some of the other emulation sites).

Using Daedalus
***************

Loading Roms
------------

Daedalus should be very easy to use. To open a rom, just drag it to the Daedalus executable.

Configuring Audio and Graphics
------------------------------

Daedalus has built-in graphics and audio handling, no futher configuration is required.

Configuring Input
-----------------

Input is provided by GLFW, gamepads are supported too (PS3 controller is recommended).
To use a gamepad, make sure is connected before starting Daedalus, also make sure the drivers for your gamepad are correctly installed.
Currently input configurations are not supported, also gamepad support is very limited.

Digital Pad : Num 4, Num 6, Num 8, Num 2
C Buttons : Delete, PageDown, Home, End
A : X
B : C
Z Trigger : Z
Z Trigger : Y (German keyboards)
L Trigger : A
R Trigger : S
Start : Enter

Save Games
------------

Daedalus supports Eeprom, Mempack, SRAM and FlashRam saves in the
same format as Nemu (.sav, .mpk and .sra respectively).

To use other people's saves with your roms, you must
rename them so they have the same filespec as the rom, and
place them in the same directory. For instance, for:

C:\Roms\wibble.rom

The eeprom would be

C:\Roms\wibble.sav

And the mempack would be

C:\Roms\wibble.mpk

Saved States
------------

All the save states are created using this name format : quickXX.save ( XX can be from 0 to 9 )
Save states are saved by default at SaveStates/<quickXX.save>

To create a save state, press Ctrl 0-9 and for loading press 0-9.
Each number corresponds to each slot where the save state was created.

Rom Support
-----------

Daedalus currently supports .v64, .z64, n64, .rom, .jap, .pal
and .usa formats (let me know if you know of any other common
filetypes).
Daedalus largely ignores the filetype, but it will only
recognise files with these extensions as roms. You can
also archive roms into a .zip file and Daedalus will
automatically load the rom from there. Daedalus only
recongnises the FIRST rom in the zip file, so there is
no point in putting multiple roms into the same zipfile.

Minimun Requirements
************

Video card with support for atleast OpenGL 3.2
Please refer to your hardware vendor and make sure to always have the latest drivers installed

Support, Bugs, Comments ,Chat etc
***************************

This version of Daedalus should be considered a BETA RELEASE and as such, bugs are expected.

For support issues, bug reports, comments and so on, please visit

Who / What is StrmnNrmn?
************************

StrmnNrmn is short for Storming Norman. "Storming Norman" is
slightly too long to use as a nick on IRC, so it has been
shortened to "StrmnNrmn".

StrmnNrmns Credits:
********************

The Audio HLE code used in Daedalus was adapted from Azimer's great
plugin for PC-based emulators. Thanks Azimer! Drop me a line!

A special thanks to everyone who was involved with Daedalus on the PC in
the past. Sorry I was so rubbish at keeping the project ticking along. You
know who you are.

Hello to everyone I used to know in the N64 emulation scene back in 2001 -
hope you are all doing well!

Many thanks to 71M for giving me the inspiration to get this ported over
and lots of pointers along the way.

A big hello to the Super Zamoyski Bros

Many thanks to all the people who suggested using the Circle button to
toggle between the Dpad and C buttons. I received over two dozen emails and
comments suggesting this approach, so thanks for that

Many thanks to hlide and Raphael in the PS2Dev forums for advice on
various VFPU issues.

Many thanks to Exophase and laxer3A for their continued input.

Thanks to Lkb for his various improvements to the PC build. The current
savestate support is derived from his work.

Congratulations for you guys!

Yes you need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package, I'll add it in the main op
Download it here and make sure to choose the x86 version.

May I ask what version of windows are you using? Also is it 32bit or 64bit?

I'm on a Windows 7 x64.

I installed the properly libraries, but still it doesn't work.
When I open the emulator, it shows up two windows ("GLFW Windows" and "Daedadus.exe") and crashes to desktop.

Yes, I rebooted the system and even tried to install the x64 version of MVC to see if works, but no luck.

My system is ok, latest driver here.
I know that OpenGL apps don't fall in love with AMD Cards, but I think it should at least boot, lol

EDIT: I'm stupid, sorry.
I've just drag & drop the ROM and now works fine (when I was reading the readme, my eyes jumped out to commands, lol).

I've done a quick test with OoT, and looks amazing.
It can't reach full framerate here (~20FPS), but seems smooth and I can see just minor glitches (just started a new game, so far only walk through Kokiri Forest).
Audio is working fine too.

I will test more later, but amazing work for first public release.

Good to know, since Windows XP is not supported yet.
May I ask what video card you have?

On the daedalus.exe window, do you get anything printed? ex "Failed to initialize GLEW".
Also are you starting Daedalus by dragging a rom into the executable?

Scarecrow · Posted: Sun Jun 02, 2013 6:47 pm

God, you are fast. xD
I was editing my message, check it out. xD

I'm using a AMD HD6870.

Lol yes I receive email alerts when there's a reply on this thread, I can reply easily with my phone

Good to know you got it working, yes you're video card is good, as a matter of fact is better than the card I'm using for testing Daedalus, it should handle anisotropic and antialiasing filtering fairly well once is implemented, which is my todo to make graphics smoother.

PS: Zelda is fullespeed at 20fps. We sync the game with audio (smoother sound) it might go a bit lower or higher than that, also I would recommend to read the readme.txt, it explains many things, ex how to start a ROM.

I get a "failed to open GLEW window" error. :/

I'm running on a pretty crappy computer right now, Windows Vista 64-bit with the C++ package installed above.

Yeah, I got a little confused since in main menu the framerate jumped to 60FPS, but indeed runs great in game.

I'm using my headphone right now, and audio is perfect also.

The Linux build is going to come a bit later.

Auch it seems your video card doesn't support opengl 3.2 or higher

I'll add a better error dialog for it, also what video card you have?

It instantly crashes for me too. I am using Windows 8 64 bit. Already tried to start it as an admin and in Windows XP mode.

There pop up cmd and GLFW Window (or something like that) but i can´t read anything, because it closes instantly.

Using 1 Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti.
