I've been using Daedalus since version before X64 (ie. R13, etc).
I was excited when DaedalusX64 continued development on this fantastic emulator for the PSP.
My last version I used for the beta 2 update.
Right now I just test tried beta 3 update and was disappointed when I got the error message:

------
Unsupported Firmware Detected : 0x01050001

Daedalus requires atleast 4.01 M33 Custom Firmware
------

I use CFW 3.40 OE-A on my Phat PSP and love it and have no problems. I may upgrade to 3.71 M33-4 when I buy a second PSP Slim. But I don't see why I have to upgrade to 4.01 M33.... actually I used to be on 4.01 then 5.01... but saw no difference in performance or bugs.... so reverted back to 3.40 OE-A (the last version with popsloader/1.50 system builtin... so no popsloader/1.50addon hassle).

Please please can you make a DaedaluxX64 version to work on 3.40 OE-A or 3.71 M33-4. I mean, beta 2 update even worked on 3.40 OE-A.... but now beta 3 update.. Why does it have to be 4.01 M33 minimum?

You should just update to 6.20 and use pro b9 it has everything and more. And as far as Ps1 support you can use every popsloader from other firmwares using popsloader installer.

Exactly! See what I mean... it's more hassle finding the correct compatible add-ons and setting them up. With 3.40 OE-A... just install and nothing else and can play PS1, 1.50 apps, etc. straight-off the bat. Any other new version... need to find compatible add-on for that version... install... 1.50 add-on.. popsloader... time machine... and many more. Then in a month's time, there's a new CFW version.. and have to repeat/do the previous multi-steps again. I prefer sticking to one working version and that's it... and 3.40 OE-A was fine... but 3.71 M33-4 will suffice since it was the only common version for both Phat & Slim PSPs (ie... only need one pandora/magic-stick set to work on both PSPs).

Anyway, beta 2 was 3.40 OE-A compatible. Why beta 3 of Daedalus stopped support?

honestly i forgot why
but your best off with 5.00m33-6 considering the only thing that doesn't work on it is new games higher than 5.00 fw

Salvy could answer this for sure but I think there has been changes in the PSPSDK (the compiler and libraries) that are no longer are compatible with the old kernels (lower than 4.01). So it was decided to only support from 4.01 and onwards in order to avoid hassle in bug reports. At the moment we use 5.0 when devving so it will be your best bet if you choose to change FW.

The thing is 6.20 pro b9 has the best psx support becouse you can use popsloader from any firmware (1.0-6.60) So all you do is get 6.20 install pro b9 i have a popsloader installer it does it all for you.And about the part where updating is a hassle just becouse they release a new cfw doesnt mean you have to have it if 3.40 OE-A was updated would you update?

I think the sdk has been updated and so anything below 4.01 cfw will bring out problems. It's honestly really easy to update, there are plenty of tutorials out there. If you still can't figure it out then I'm sure someone on daedalus irc could help you out. *looks at re4thewin*

hmm, okay. I'll wait a while til Golden Eye becomes playable.

Btw, is there a games compatibility/progress list/chart?

Plus, would it help if played with no-textures... plain colour shaded polygons... speed up Golden Eye running?

GE is probably one of the games that never will run smoothly on a PSP


Yes in the top of the browser you have a compat button -> http://compat.daedalusx64.com/


No, it won't help

andwan0 stated that he was previously on 4.01 and then 5.01 but then chose to revert back to 3.40 OE-A, therefore the process of updating isn't the actual issue. Please read posts more carefully when making a reply NB13 :3

The issue has been addressed, so I'll lock this.

(If anyone wants to provide a more detailed answer, feel free to reply *looks at Salvy*)

Are you dum? All I did was answer the question. The answer is update, and if he can't figure it out then ask someone here for help. Support wont be added again because the sdk is updated. Your input is not required.

Then read the question more carefully. The primary purpose of this thread was to ask for a a recent version of Daedalus compatible with 3.40 OE-A or 3.71 M33-4, the secondary purpose was to know why 4.01 M33 was the minimum firmware required. The answer isn't "update your firmware" because that is not what the user was asking, it is just a recommendation.

The answer that you provided in your other post is essentially the same thing that Corn said, therefore making it a redundant statement. Your suggestion about updating, although done with good intentions, is irrelevant because the user has updated and reverted firmwares meaning that he is familiar with the updating process.

I locked the thread since the original query was answered, and only recommended that you read more carefully in order to make more useful replies. Please don't post in a locked thread with nothing significant to add, if you have anything else to say to me, please do so through a private message.
