Surreal 64 Xbox Emulator

[jmj2500]

Yeah, Conker was great, although I never finished it. I am now trying the FDB release of Surreal64 and if this dont work then I give up. I am already having trouble with this one working (something about the surreal.ini file in the tdata folder). Its not worth all of this trouble just to play a few games imo. Thanks to all who helped.

Ok, I have come to the conclusion that XBox N64 Emulators just do not work. I have tried every release that there currently is and I am only able to run 1 out of 10 games on each one with the same sloppy result. I guess I have to keep in mind that the XBox can only handle so much and just keep hoping that they will make a decent Emulator someday. I have even tried different roms and they all do the same thing, load to a black screen. Besides, with Surreal I never know which Emu to try. I end up trying them all and none of them work. The only game I have gotten to work on it is Zelda OoT, and it plays half-way decent. TO those who actually got it working I ask you, how ? I have tried everything. Any feedback is appreciated.

Well I guess it is kinda hope for the best when installing an emulator (N64 atleast). For me Surreal64 FDBv4 worked like a charm as soon as I edited the Surreal.ini file to have the right paths. Then I simply played the games.

Try clearing your cache folders too because if you have started a Surreal emu before the ini file will be saved and read from there instead of from the folder.
So make sure the new ini file is always loaded by either clearing the whole cache or find the specific folder.

Thanks for the info. But by Cache folders do you mean the ones in the TDATA folder ? Because I deleted the folder that the Emulators surreal.ini file was in, it was something like "A64" or something or other. Here is another question: Do you know the roms that have certain Versions beside them ?(v1.0, v2.0)ect? Well does it matter which one that I use ? Because I got Killer Instinct Gold and it had like 10 versions within the folder. But please tell me which cache folders to clear and I will try that if I havent already.

Thanks again.

I can't remember wich cache folder straight from the head, but as soon as I get my xbox back I'll take a look at it... Borrowed it to a friend for a while... Should get it back at friday.

When it comes to versions I have no idea if it will make any difference.. :-\

What extensions should the N64 roms have?? I've one with .v64 is it ok??

[jmj2500]

Yeah, all extensions should be fine. I have used V64, Vz64 and many others.
