Comparisons
N64 emulation is a complete mess. No emulator has a high degree of compatibility with N64 games, and it varies significantly even within one emulator if using different plugins.
For Daedalus, results are even more hit-and-miss than on other emulators due to being made for PSP first and foremost. On PSP, most games are unplayable, but there's a small amount of them that work really well with the right settings (Quest 64, for example). It's the only option for N64 emulation on PSP.
Emulation
The N64 was a very overly complex machine that was difficult to program for. For this reason, creating an emulator is quite difficult.
