Yes, I am alive
No, I didn't choke on a mince pie :)

I'm sorry for the lack of updates, both to the blog and to Daedalus. I've been working on Daedalus for about 10 years now, and those that have followed the project from the beginning will know that I have fairly regular periods of 'radio silence' followed by bursts of activity. I have lot of inertia, so once my interest shifts elsewhere it can take a long time to get me back on track. That's just the way I am.

This time around it's because I've been really busy with work. I don't want to go into specifics, but for the past couple of years I've been working on a high profile game, and since January most of my energy has gone into helping to get it finished.

I am unbelievably out of touch with the PSP scene. Recently, Kreationz got in touch to tell me about the progress that has been made with DaedalusX64. I was really pleased to hear that the project was being actively updated, particularly because I have a lot of respect for the people involved. The whole reason for making Daedalus open source was to give people the opportunity to learn from the source code and update it as needed, so it's great for this to be happening.

I can't guarantee that I'll have the time to actively help with DaedalusX64, or even that I'll be able to regularly update this blog. I thought it would be a good idea to give my public backing to DaedalusX64 so that the team can get on with rolling out updates. I probably won't be making a PSP release of Daedalus any time soon.

For what it's worth, I'm currently working on a new port of Daedalus. I'm going to keep the target platform secret for now, but I think it's very exciting. At the very least it means that I'm working on Daedalus again - I'm hoping to keep merging changes from DaedalusX64 back into the Daedalus source, and hopefully provide DaedalusX64 with one or two fixes of my own.

That's all for now. Apologies in advance if the next blog post is in December 2009 :)

Just speculation, but seriously, what else could it be?

What do you mean 'they can't be emulated?' why would you want to emulate an accelorometer :blink: ?

I'm guessing you mean 'used in emulation', in which case you are wrong. The iphone can already emulate a fair few consoles using multitouch (it's not ideal, which is why this is being made). N64 controls, however, would be a different story.

Oh, and the N64 isn't going to emulated on the iPhone. Dirapragm, or whatever his name is, would be stupid to try. (but then again, he's already proven stupidity by attempting it on the psp)

Interesting news! In any case it's good to see him back - any further development can only be good for an eventual Pandora port, regardless of who does it or when.

I did find it curious that Zod pulled out due to time constraints, but still managed to throw together an unannounced MAME port. Maybe that was just the sound of my little heart breaking though.

Anyway, if this new platform is what we hope it is, I'll be posting pictures rather than words...

I hope this is true :)
Some games were actually quite playable on the psp with frameskip and audio disabled, so it can only be better on the pandora, right?

I think that mazza assumed that ashdjones meant that the emulator would be an iPhone emulator, not something emulated ON the iPhone, while ashdjones just meant that it was projected for sandora

that's nice of you...

But on topic, it could be anything; we shouldn't get excited yet.
Ugh, who am I kidding. PANIC!

Well you asked what else could it be (as in - what target platform) and I just threw out there whatever seemed reasonable.

I'm not saying an N64 emulator on Iphone is particularly practical, I certainly wouldn't attempt to use it!

Okay, more wonky predictions: Wiz? PS3?
