Excite Bike 64 runs a lot faster on pj64-x, though it is still unplayble.

Is there anything that the 3 n64 emulators on xbox that came before Surreal (Daedalus-X, Ultra XLE, Project 64x) can do that Surreal cannot? Like do they run any certain games better than Surreal at the moment? I'm gonna be modding my xbox in a couple days and i just wanna know if its even worthwhile putting the older n64 emulators on the xbox to begin with now that Surreal is around.

Well Wipeout ran at the right speed but with really screwed up graphics (It was more playable but it was horrible). I haven't found a rom yet that plays better with the any of the previous emulators there have been 5 previous emulators

Daedalus (leaked very early, buggy, crashed constantly, no sound by the original author)
Daedalus .06 & then .1 (which crashed constantly played little and also had no sound by Hikaru)
PJ64-x .6 & .7 (which had sound, reasonable compatiblity but lots of issues)
Ultraxle (which ran beautifully and was the first to run Zelda with sound but crashed occasionally, oDD's first emu for the xbox)
Surreal64 (Which blew most of us away and is by far the best N64 emu by Lantus and oDD)

so really i'm not missing out on too much if i dont use those 3 old ones, right?

I got rid of the older releases the minute this one came out, and I haven't regretted it yet

The first South Park game works pretty well in PJ64-X (some graphics plugin issues that would likely be fixed now) but dosn't load at all in Surreal. Aside from that, havn't run into anything that isn't better in Surreal.

you'll find that some Acclaim roms dont load at all in surreal.

I actually suspected that was a common thread at one point (Until finding out several Turoks worked, which threw me), as the Acclaim ECW and WWF games also didn't work.

Thanks Lantus! That did the trick for both South Park (U) [!] and ECW Hardcore Revolution (U) [!]. Both work fine now, though with some audio quirkiness (to be expected considering the workaround used). I havn't tried the two WWE games or any other Acclaim games, but I expect it makes quite a few more games playable now.

yeah expect quirkyness..theres no sync to audio with the basic plugin at all.

we should have a better solution in the next update.

ECW Hardcore Revolution (E) [!]
