New N64 emulator

[cheema201]

Everybody i think that it is time to try and ask Project 64 to create an emulator for the PSP... Daedalus will never be as good as an emulator created by the Project 64 team...

if you truly want to play "Ocarina of time" and other greats on your portable system then please i implore you to visit the thread which i have created on the Project 64 website...

Project 64 for PSP - EmuTalk.net

please register on these forums and post a reply to this thread. so that maybe if enough of us speak they will listen and be persuaded into creating an emulator for the PSP..

thankyou to any1 that posts a reply to this thread

What exactly is your reasoning that no other emulator can be as good as Project 64? I know of quite a few other N64 emulators that can easily compete with it, and some of them have even been updated recently. The same can't be said about Project 64. Even if it is the best one out there, the team would have to jump the same hurdles that StrmnNrmn has in getting N64 games playable on the PSP. And the main reason Project 64 is so good is because it has the vast power of the PC platform at its command. There's absolutely no reason to expect it to be just as good if it were ported to PSP.

Besides that, I don't get why you would propose such an idea considering how long it has been since the last public release by the Project 64 team. Even Daedalus has had a more recent update (November of last year, not counting the unofficial R14 "beta" compiled from SVN).

haha if you do not believe that project 64 can do a better job then by all means dont post in the thread.. i have never seen Daedalus get anywhere near projcet 64.. and Project 64 is the best N64 emulator, Ultra and 1964 and even mugen come close is some cases.. why does it matter about public releases??

Daedalus can release stuff all they want however it is shit... and the R14 beta which you are talkin about wasn't even release by StrmnNrmn...

i dont only have project 64 on PC but also on xbox.. i have Daedalus on both also, and it is a horrible emulator...

thanks for you input but if you dont want a new emulator being made by a superior team of programmers then that is fine with me.. please leave this to the ppl that want a better,or at least different, N64 emulator.

Wow, a little hostile there. I'm just looking at your suggestion from a pessimistic point of view, not saying "this is stupid and you're stupid for posting it". I'm certainly not saying that I don't want a better or different emulator, I don't know where that's coming from. And I know that the R14 beta release wasn't by StrmnNrmn. That's why I said it was unofficial.

I think my point still stands, that porting Project 64 to the PSP would not necessarily make it a better emulator than Daedalus. Both would have the same lack of power to deal with compared to the more powerful PC and XBox platforms. That said, of course it's possible that we'd end up with a better emulator, but it's equally possible that it would never see the light of day. That's why public releases matter in my reasoning. Project 64 hasn't had a public release in well over a year to my knowledge, and I know that the team is still working on it, but adding a PSP port to the list of things to do would just make both branches take even longer to make stable releases.

Finally, I just want to know why you think Daedalus is so horrible. I'm not criticizing you, I just want to know your reasoning. I think it's a pretty decent emulator myself, but I haven't had a lot of experience with it outside of the PSP port.

well i have experienced Daedalus for a very long time.. and wen i got my PSP and saw that the N64 emulator was Daedalus i was extremely disappointed.. it doesn't run many games which is why it is not that great...

Project 64 has started making an update for the PC version of Project 64 which i believe will possibly be there last update for it as it is amazing the way it is... sure it has a couple of problems but all in all it is brilliant..

of course they are going to have problems with the fact that the PSP is not a PC but if Daedalus has been able to make a few games work then Project 64 will do a whole lot more...

i hope that once Project 64 has finished their latest PC version. they will consider PSP

if you would like to see it happen also them post in the thread in my sig

gonna do it right now.

The problem is that you seem to be for getting that these guys make the emus not because they enjoy having people play them, but because they're interested in the development and learning process involved in creating them. Of course Daedalus is absolutely nowhere near perfect, its a long way from being entirely playable but its a damn sight closer than anything else and deserves the support. Project 64 is only as good as it is because theres a bigger team and they've been working on it for years. Thats not dispute that its an excellent emulator, but the two projects are running in entirely different roads.

But back to the point- If you want Project 64 to consider psp development, then donate. If you support the project then you deserve to be heard, and they will listen.

Or make the effort and start porting it yourself...lol

why do u feel that i am doing this to flame Daedalus?? i am grateful that we have Daedalus to play and they are doing a great job.. but wat is wrong with attempting to get other ppl on the band wagon to create N64 emulators for the PSP??

If this attempt at trying to convince Project 64 fails then perhaps i will assemble a team and start to port it... but it seems to me like you really dont care about the emulation of the N64 console on the PSP, for if you did then you would not sit bak and do nothing...

I am more interested in the comments of people who, like me, would like to see N64 ported to the best it can be... And i know that i do not have the skills to do it myself...


oh and thanx itzzspencer for your support as you are the only one who so far believes that wat i am trying to do is not lunacy... lets hope more ppl rally to this cause and see it as not an act of greed but more as a way of showing the desire we truly have for N64 emulation on the PSP

I find it very interesting that the last few posts as of this time in your thread at emutalk are by users saying basically the same thing I already have. It's a nice dream, but having Project 64 on the PSP is even more unlikely now that people actually involved with it have responded.

Honestly I think the best chance N64 emulation has on the PSP is to have an emulator coded from scratch, not ported from another platform. I've also said this about SNES emulation a few times as well.

You may want to edit your sig, also, as the way it's currently worded it could give people the false impression that the team is actively working on a PSP port.

I agree you with 100%.. i am sorry if you were under a false impression but if you read my last post on that thread i talk about not the porting of the Project 64 emulator. and that the reason i am talking to them is for the magicians behind the emulator to possibly consider starting a new project when they are finished with their current update...

I also agree with you about the SNES emulation and i will definately put my name down to bak anyone who believes that aswell.. as we dont need emulators ported to the PSP but to be constructed for the PSP...

I have edited my sig as i could see that it may have been misleading...

Even if nobody takes wat we say seriously.. we should at least give these things a try!! What is the harm in asking?
