Post by: HoRnEyDvL on June 07, 2003, 06:38:00 AM
Well its Sunday 08/06/2003 00:28:24 In australia that means 1 more day left For the n64 Compitiong 2 finish & the winner of part 1 to be anounced. Do you think we will see an emu which is working at 100% with sound & playing 8MB roms be released. If so what games would You like to play on it & what.
! know 1 thing for sure once this emu get released Im taking 1 week of school 2 play it biggrin.gif Mate n64 & xbox is more important then education.

Goodluck with the competition make sure the best emu wins.

i also think that there are coming 3 emus =)
but i also think that all 3 emus are able to play 16mb roms as well.

some of the games may have some graphical errors but they are playable i think.

its only speculation !!!

I will be honest.

I am not very optimistic about this.  We have been lied to in the past about N64 emus, and we have not seen any real proof yet.  We have some screen shots, which really do not prove anything.  I guess we will find out soon though.

I hope that I am wrong.

Nah i think there DEFINATELY will be one this time...theres too much money for coders not to be tempted...and irez is a respected member of the xbins crew so i have all faith in him...
about the 16mb roms that would be a unexpected pleasure that i haven't even thought about.... i hope there are 3!

And what about ROMs bigger than 16MB?

The Legend Of Zelda - Ocarina Of Time = 32MB
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing Round 2 = 32MB
MegaMan 64 = 32MB
Perfect Dark = 32MB
Ogre Battle 64 = 40MB
Conkers Bad Fur Day = 64MB

And those are only just a few of MANY great games, what about them  sad.gif


EDIT: Oh and i dont think there will be an N64 EMU thats worth talking about for atleast 6 months, though i really do hope im wrong.

I believe in the future releases some 32mb roms will be implemented...but i think 64mb is simply too big for the xbox... until virtual ram!

i dont understand why it was or is so hard to make a n64 emu.

i mean we already have a very good working ps one emu.

but i think that when this does come out i will be a very happy person smile.gif

No one refers to N64 roms in terms of bits. No one says that Mario 64 is 64 MegaBits, they say it is 8 Megabytes ...

N64 roms range from 8 MegaBytes to 64 MegaBytes. or, if you really care, 64 MegaBits to 512 MegaBits ... the only people who ever referred to N64 roms in MegaBits were Nintendo themselves in their early marketing.

Hey quick question, anyone know what extentions these N64 EMUs will support?

*.rom *.v64 *.z64 *.n64

Ive got ROMs in all those formats and i dont want to be able to only play some and not others, so do we know if they support all of them?

Those extension do mean things, but the emulators these are ported from automatically take care of them.  Some devices swapped bytes in the header for example.

Sorry, but you are wrong.  It is very common to refer to rom images in terms of Mb instead of MB.

Most emulators list game sizes in terms of Mb, and most rom nfo sites will list game sizes as Mb and not MB.

Well the way I see it, this is the only way we will ever see solid n64 emulation on our super console.

This can be completed in a few easy steps so pay close attention

Ahem....

1. Download the iNDREAMA emulator for xbox and upload it to your z drive

2.Run the indreama emulator and load up several goatse .bmp images

3.Take sccreen captures of the images and access them (they are saved in the e drive>udata>im7331>bmp images

4. upload those images to your PC and edit them slightly with any editor, paint reccomended

5. Upload those to your chihirox>textures folder and use them as your default backgrounds

6.Load up the project 64 emulator found in chihirox and when it asks for you to select your rom leave that directory and search for your ps2 isos, (they can be found in the y drive) you have to load up the ps2 iso labled "zapper" from there it will promt you to install sound drivers for the apple ipod, proceed. Yes there is a apple ipod emulator you must have this installed in root.

7. almost done.... find your ****.swf viewer****** application, this must be ran from the indreama emulator and run your favorite flash piece and convert that to a .v64 file with the tools brought to you by none other than jabo.

8.now go to your colecovision emulator and load your .v64 file and wala, you will have access to the entire rom collection for the nintendo 64 and every thing will be perfect!!

ii hope to god this helps you all, id be fucked with out this littl tutorial, god bless and good luck with crash bandicoot!

Wario(me) was winning too! Beating that little toad butthole!!

Daedaleus blow goat balls, granted theres no sound and thats noted, but i couldnt even get mario kart to work, how did you manage that? The only game i got running was bomberman, but then only the intro worked, the levels had no textures, there was only the sprite of my player and blue background, with invisible walls, no bombs or explosions showing.  laugh.gif How you managed to get a game working i have no idea, but share your secrests  cool.gif

Post by: apexad on June 07, 2003, 10:27:00 PM
Here goes alot.  First off I want to point out that it is not a matter of implimenting 32MB or 64MB support, theoretically if you made your xbox 128mb they may just naturally work, it is a memory issue, nothing really to do with the emulator.  also, relize that in today's n64 emulation dynarec is used.  This means 2 things.  1. self-modifying code, which means that if you load a 32mb rom into memory, your going to need more like 40 or 50mb to run it all the way through.  Second, it means alot of guessing.  Every rom will not work, thus it is not a matter of saying every 8MB rom will work, or every 16MB rom, etc...there could be a 32MB rom that works faster and looks better then an 8MB rom.  There are so many variables.
Lastly, remember there are 2 versions of Daedalus ported.  1 from it's original author, that has been dicontinued  and is suppose to no longer be spoken about.  the 2nd from Hiraku which runs some games but not as well nor as many as the port by the original author.

P.S. - I totally trust that the emulator is real.

a bit lame really to be questioning the validity of the emulator, when a respected scene member has had hands on experience of it.  Yes, I trust this to be real, unlike the other "hilarious" hoaxes some of the dumber members here believed in.

As said before... the method of emulation, dynarec, etc.. has already been talking about here, possbly under conspiracy theories thread, heh. (those that know the thread, know what I'm talking about... lantus said he couldn't port it and another guy has done it, etc.. etc..)  It's true to assume that you'll have to test games individually, as their are no guarantees that "all" 8MB games will run, etc..  This could as much to do with the graphics plugin, etc.. having issues too.  it's emulation.. it's never 100%

Just wait till the deadline is over.. then you'll see all the cards on the table

Its about time" I say. Iriez and I have both seen alot of flamers during the course of this project, (Iriez alot more than me of course), but Im glad to see that a dream for many of us is comming true. The countdown has started. Now we wait.

After the contest is over, we need to fish out all of its faults. Test as many ROMs as we possibly can so that we can fix the errors in the emulator. Remember, the release is not the final. The contest REQUIRES release of the source code. That means it can be improved apon and grow. I will be testing the emulator extensivly since I have 128MB of RAM on my machine.

I'd like to take a minute to personally say "Thank you" to the people who made this possible. Iriez took the project that I started, organized it and made it official. Spiral, for hosting the paypal account. All the coders who made N64 emulation possible on PC. Lastly, every single individual who donated to the cause. Even after being ridiculed, even after being told that you were thowing your money away, you had faith in the project and made it happen.

For now we wait, but soon........WE WILL FINALY HAVE WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.   


Yep i also agree with you... it was your origional idea so  beerchug.gif you got the ball rolling! I too would like to say thanks to all the people that have organised this it is much appreciated by me and many others i am sure!

If you haven't been around for a long time, you might not realize that it IS possible to ADD another 64MB of RAM to your xbox. The motherboard has the solder points for it, you just need to solder the ram on there and use a bios that can recognize the extra ram. Check the forums at www.xboxhacker.net, where it all started, and there were a few threads about it here, too.

Lowen Na, stop being such an ass. In discussing N64 emulation on the Xbox (a system with 64 MB of ram) it makes absolutely no sense to keep converting everything to Mb. I'm sorry, but none of your hall monitor antics are going to get us to discuss how it's unlikely that the Xbox's 512Mb of ram is adequate to run 512Mb roms. Just because Sega and Nintendo used to market their cartridges in Mb back in the 16-bit era, it makes absolutely no sense to go back to that language for an N64 emulator on an Xbox, neither of which really ever mention file sizes in Mb.

Who used them interchangeably?  I merely said that MB is much more unified and well-known than Mb.  No one can really argue that point.

Congrades on your 120GB hard drive, at least you are using the proper abrevation.


I never said that you were using them interchagably, but people miss using mb MB Mb etc in this thread is what started this.

Sence every other web site on the internet refers to video game roms in terms of Megabits instead of MegaBytes, it would be nice if you people perfer to use MegaBytes instead that you could atleast us the proper abreviation.

MB=MegaByte
Mb=Megabit
mb= microbit?

And BTW, game size was refered to in Mb instead of MB not as some Nintendo or Sega marketing term, but becuase that was the standerd in the electronics industry for rom chips.

i don't usually post on this forum, but this is so stupid.
stop being such a wise ass.
no one cares if you use mb, MB, bm, Qt, MtrFkr or whatever, as long as people understand what is being communicated to them.
i'm a developer myself and i never use the term "megabit" other than when flashing my gba flashlink.

I hope that the programmers at least had the common sense to make sure the emus can share a ROM directory. If not, it could get ugly with 3+ emulators for N64, all with their own copies of the ROMS... If it hasn't been implemented yet, let's hope this is sitting on the back burner to be done at some point  biggrin.gif

I can't wait to try the new emus. I have had fun trying to get daedalusx to play ROMS. Can't wait to see what new toys are coming!

I dont think the topic is "who is better than who" or "get your terminology straight", so theres no point being a bitch about everything.  Just settle down and talk about the actual topic and quit being so defensive! So when is this new emu coming out? or being released?

I don't want to start anything, but when you have a little "m" it means micro. When you have a big "M" it means mega. When you have a small "b" it means bit. When you have a big "B" it means Byte.

MB = Megabyte
Mb = Megabit
mB = Microbit (never used)
mB = Microbyte (never used)

Just need to clear somethings up. For more info check this. No more talk of this EVER!!!

On the big chance of being flamed here for either not finding the information in previous posts or for just asking an utterly stupid question I have decided to ask anyway.

Is it theoretically possible to add network support to emulator games (ie snes, genisis, n64 etc.......).  I mean could use some kind of tunneling software which instead recognized other xbox's as controllers not machines.

Then you could have one xbox be a host and the others acting like controllers, the traffic should be rather low and mario kart 64 online would own.

As I previously stated this might be a stupid or repetitive question to you guys and as I am into applications programming (the boring stuff) not games wasn't too sure of the ramifications involved in such an idea.
Title: 1 Day Left For N64 Emu
Post by: SSSSSmokey on June 08, 2003, 08:30:00 PM
Great idea, but I'm not really sure of the feasibility.  I don't program anything yet, but I would really like to see something like that, maybe incorporated into XBconnect or something?  Maybe (yea right) if someone REALLY was a genius at programming they could set up an Xbox as a "master", with another on the network as a "slave", and somehow combined the processing power to play those really tough games!  I am positive that will never happen, though, but it seems like a good idea.  BTW, they already have something like that, called Kalierra or something.  I don't feel like looking around for it, but I know some emulators for PC support it.

I'm guessing and willing to bet that those flaming Australia aren't from Norway?  In which case  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif  You WISH you had it this good MATE!...

back on topic..

Kaillera support is something that people are attempting to add to PC N64 emus.  It would be a bit different for XBOX, as the emulator itself would also need added network support.  I guess in theory it could also be configured to work with a PC N64 emulator (if done in the right way).  It's entirely possible.  For major constraint would be if adding a network layer would use up more precious ram resources  anddddd I'm not sure just how popular demand is for this anyway..

For other systems, SNES, Genesis, etc... ie. those without memory worries, it's also entirely possible and just depends on the porter/author, having the desire and know-how to succesfully implent it smile.gif

I've expressed my opinions on the subject before. In short, I don't think anything is coming out later today (just a little past midnight here, but I'm 6 hours ahead, I believe). I think the infamous 'computer crash' excuse will be used. If it comes out, hey, I'll apoligize, but as it stands on both a technological point (not to mention a gut feeling), it doesn't seem like it'll happen.

I wasn't meaning to imply I do not believe it because Iriez is heading it, it just seems that some technical aspects of it (the dynarec of PJ64 requires 50MB, which, if you recall, is what is supposedly being ported by the annonymous coder) and simply because I have a bad feeling about it. Neither of my points are infallible: there's always a workaround, and human intuition is imprecise at best. Just seems like a huge technical mountain to climb, so to speak.

Lighten up?

How hypocritical of you.  Look at your forum user name. 'Methiushastheaidspassiton'  Do you call that being light?  How would you feel if you had aids passed on to you?  Aids is an infectious disease that destroys people's lives.  People who can't even help it are out there dying from that disease in unbelievable numbers, trying to enjoy what little is left to enjoy in their dramatically shortened lives, and you flagrantly make light of it in your user name whilst complaining in an N64 emulation thread.  

All I'm asking is why...  Why do you have to do that?  Are you even a little bit embarrassed about the way you're acting?  I'm actually embarrassed when I see other members of the human race treating each other this way.

What I'm saying here can be read in several tones.  Please realize that I know I'm no better than you.  I'm just trying to prod you along in the right direction.  I'm not sure if you realize that making light of such a disease is truely such a terrible thing.  

Sorry everybody for this, but I just had to say something about that...
