I've found a problem, I tried Blast Corps on PJ64 and it surprising seemed to run at normal speed after the intro (I say surprisingly because whenever I've tried it on PC emulators it runs at super speed), which is good, but then when it checks the controller pak for saved games it gives a message like "Controller Pak is bad, please shut off console" and it freezes.  This seems to happen whether I have the virtual rumble pak or memory card inserted.

I got serious issues with SurrealXXX Beta2.  I updated/fired up Dr. Mario 64 (to see if the invisible pills was fixed in the new video plugin, it isn't), but alot of the graphics are just GONE.  I'm hoping this is just a mild case, but I'm gonna revert back to an older emulator.

For some reason, controller port 3 can't be enabled, though the others work fine.

in pokemon stadium 2, the previously working 3rd and 4th controllers aren't recognised, even if the 4th controller has been enabled in the controller settings.

Other than that, great emulator 

Hmm, thanks 4 the report, we'll look into that asap. Does this happen for other games, too ??

Also it'd be nice if you could adjust the way the menu's behave when toggling an option with multiple possible values, the best example is the analog sensitivity, you ought to be able to press something to go back a value and not just forward, because otherwise if you go too high by accident you have to press A at least 19 times to fix it.

thats just retarded I'm sure we can all agree.

LOL,okay, this request is already being added as i speak..

I'm wanting to try this bad boy out, but I can't even get it to load from unleash x. It just freezes at the "Loading Surreal 64" screen.

All other versions of surreal I have had load fine (including all of your releases FreakDave).

Any suggestions or the solution would be greatly appreciated. (specs in sig)

Edit--As well after it wouldnt load the first time, I delteted any surreal 64 folders from TDATA and UDATA, and it still freezes while loading from unleash x.

yes, the controller port 3 is disabled always.  It happens within Starfox as well.  
Also, another bug that is probably related to that issue: controller #4 will not show up in Starfox when it is enabled (remember that #3 is disabled so the fourth cannot be used due to the N64's inablility to use the fourth port unless the 3rd is functional)

bug: the screenshot function took 4 screens when I tried it.  Can't confirm if I pressed it too much, however.

bug: the loading bar still drops around 50% on large files such as Conker's BFD.

bug: screenshot function crashes often
bug: savestate 2 crashes xbox -- confirm please

Another weird thing I discovered when trying to play goldeneye was, if i move the left analog stick down just a little the cursor moves down, but if I move it right down the cursor shoots off upwards, as though I were pushing fully up, I tried tinkering with the analog sensitivity but to no avail.

any chance of being able to adjust the screen size too? it seems okay but it does seem odd that its missing from this emulator when its present in so many others.

okay thats enough bitching from me for today

I keep getting Controller Pak errors on certain games like Cruisin USA, and Turok.  I tried setting teh default pak to memory, with no luck.  Any ideas?

[Dahak]

Do MemPaks work in this version? I havn't been able to use them, even when defaulting to them in the controller setting menus. Each game I've tried has just prompted that there is no controller pak inserted. Am I doing something wrong?

Nice work altogether though, gentleman.

[Mr.INSANE]

btw i was wondering how come the option goldeneye olny settings sort of thing is dimmed and how come general settings is dimmed besides that graeat job alot more games work Perfect Dark IS NEAR PERFECT

[Poobah]

This release is awesome! The only problem I have with it is that it seems to lock up sometimes when I click the right thumbstick in-game to go to the menu.

ok, I know those look like actual options, but they are HEADINGS.  Notice everything below "General Settings" are the actual general settings.  I agree they should not be dimmed, instead they should be brighter and underlined.
Perfect Dark is "near perfect", visually yes.  Especially if you use my optimized settings: 1964, 4mb video, 10 dynarec, 2 paging.
However, it still has MAJOR issues with the spycam and the radioactive room in level 2.  Unfortunately, I don't think it is possible to get any further than the second level without using cheats.

can I suggest B or X toggle backwards through options.

i think this should be set like this for default, because the B button on the n64 controller would be were the X is on the xbox

you can switch it but there seems to be a bug were it doesn't switch it for every game if you change it on the main menu

so then you might have to go into each game seperatly and configure the controller yourself, which sucks

this is something that i wish someone would have done something about a long time ago

[shimsham]

i have the same problem, too. i don't know if its the same as poobah but my box locks up and flashes red and orange when i click the right thumbstick for ingame menu.

quite simply its because the emulator is running out of memory.

i am not dissing on surreal-xxx but you guys need to put more care into future builds. we spent lots of time devising a method to keep main memory by discarding old textures and some other tricks. this code was not yet brought across to the cvs yet.
