N64 emulation MIPS32R2 Dynarec

[forphucksakes]

Hi Guys,

Was just wondering if any of you l377 dynarec devs out there with spare time/motivation wouldnt mind contributing to creating a MIPS32R2 dynarec branch for Mupen64plus:

Mupen64plus googlegroups : https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mupen64plus/kIlJdNEPlPI

Any/all help is appreciated!

Regards,

err this was done nearly 3 years ago....

Learn2code your own dynarec.


Besides.. Daedalus is not an N46 emulator. So sorry.

Give me at least 1 reason why somebody in this community would want that. Writing/debugging dynarecs is excruciating work, and Ari64's code is extremely difficult to work with (the dynarec itself works really well but the code is more or less unmaintainable).

No ?

Yeah, I used Daedalus on PSP to play Super Mario 64.

Guys he was being facetious . I made a typo on the thread topic; there is no N46 ...

Sure there is. Take a left at the N40 and it leads you staright onto the N46...

What would make it more "maintainable"?

 

[notaz]

Complete rewrite.

Complete rewrite.

But as long as it just "works", like it is, it's not that important, right? ^^

For us it's not, although there are some known 64bit related bugs that break some games in mupen64plus from what I've heard, so this situation makes it real hard to fix them.

Perhaps I was a bit too harsh with my "complete rewrite", the ideas behind it are all good, but the code needs some heavy restructuring, as it is now it's almost impossible to understand. There is also other problem that recompilation itself is slow, which causes unpleasant slowdowns/stutters when game loads new code, usually when it changes scenes.

Maybe this Ari64 guy finds time and motivation to make an overhaul, who knows. ^^

 

[PokeParadox]

We've not heard anything from him for a while...

EDIT: PS I fixed the title... it was bugging the hell out of me...

Most things have been fixed lately. There was a few 64bits issues, but last commit fixed them. There is no more issue on the dynarec that I'm aware of (last fixes came from Gillou68310 from mupen64plus-ae team)
