Okay, anyone familiar with burning this thing to a DVD, I need some help.

I downloaded the XXX B5 version with a ton of (known to be compatable) roms. Tried burning it to a disc, but none of the games would boot.

I looked through this thread for about 10 pages, and I've done everything I can think of.

I downloaded Surreal 1.0 and burned that, no luck. I previously had Surreal XXX B5 installed on my hard drive, so as suggested I deleted the UDATA and TDATA folders for that. no luck. Deleted the Surreal emulator and other files from the hard drive on the box, no dice.

The settings are

Rom Path=A:\Roms\
Media Path=A:\Media\

It's not making sense to me at all - I can't for the life of me get a rom to boot when it's burnt to a disc. Works fine when installed on the hard drive however.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Can you edit you not edit posts, or am I missing something here?

Anyway, I just wanted to add that the games boot up and get past the loading phase, but get stuck with a black screen after and don't do anything. Forgot to mention that in the post above.

You need to download the roms that have "[!]" in the filename otherwise they won't load.

Same thing happened to me back in the day.

yeah i have.
its kinda weird. i can play some roms but others just dont go past the load screen and go black
like
NBA Jam 99 (U) [!]
NBA Jam 2000 (U) [!]
they don't even run they load then black screen as some others?

Did you check the N64 compatibility list? Those game might not play. N64 and PSX emulation on the Box is pretty spotty.

ow ok. so not all games even load.
ok thats cool, was just wondering if it was my workings or the software.
Thanks

Do Mario64, Mario Kart and Goldeneye start? All 3 of those play pretty well, although MK has a little slow down in multiplayer and Goldeneye has some graphical glitches.

If those three don't start, you've got a problem. I'd remove the emu and whatever the save folder is and reinstall it if you have a problem with any of them.

so i figured out how to change the music during the rom list menu. (replace main.wma in /F/emulators/Surreal64.XXX.B5.1.CE/Skins/Default to what ever .wma you want).

i am asking if its possible to put several music files in and it play a random one at start up?

This is kind of a mixed/grey area so please don't get mad at me for posting this here. I was wondering if everyone here was aware of these site that mod the n64 goldeneye and perfect dark games:

http://goldeneyevault.com/

http://www.shootersf...message_boards/

http://www.goldeneyeforever.com/

What they are doing is pretty awesome. Anyway as of now (that I can find) these adapted roms only work on the mupen pc emulator. I was wondering if anyone knew how to port these modded roms (that contain "patches" which change the game in some way) to play on surreal for the xbox. Anyone thought about this or am I the only one?? Thanks for any ideas or help.

I thought maybe this could lead to something:

since I'm sort of a "noob" I'm not exactly the guy to go around and start programing stuff...

Had posted this in another thread though I'd thought I should try this one too about my problem

been recently trying to transfer a save of goldeneye with cheats on to the emulator with no luck I've turned the file to eep so it left me wondering if the right directory was set so I set it to E drive since for some reason it was set to D

I reset back to basic defaults before setting the directory

though now it freezes at the rom selection if I try to go to the menu or try to launch a rom

tried completely removing the whole folder from the xbox and retransfering it with no change

is there a file outside i need to find to get surreal working again?

an older version I put on works just as well but I have the same problem with it trying to read the save file

Unfortunately I did a dumb move and removed a file from outside the surreal64 CE folder and the emulator just restarts Xunleash now

any help would be appreciated
