I'm having a problem

I just got Beta 3 and I can no longer configure the emulaor settings for specific games like you used to be able to in Surreal64, nor access the general settings option.

Both are greyed out and can't be accessed

Anyone know how to fix this?

Anyway of getting Mortal Kombat 4 to run better? Any specific settings?
And why can't you still see the health bars when u start a fight this was fixed way bak in 5.2.0 of Rice's plugin and none of 5.3.1 or 5.6.0 plugin work for that particular problem for some reason.

Also some of my roms don't show up in the rom list. I have about 80 roms in the rom folder and it only shows about 72 of them (very weird) Banjo Tooie is one of them if that helps. And yes all my roms are the good ones.

I know, one of the top questions:

"How can I play Conker's Bad Fur Day?"

I still having problems with this game.

It sometimes starts, sometimes not.
Sometimes I didn't change the settings, sometimes I tried different settings.
Sometimes I can play, sometimes it crashes.

WTF...?

I just wanna play this great game...please give me the best settings for this game.
(And: Yes, I searched many topics, but I just found the compatibility list. The comment there is, that it works fine...?!)

Well I think the problem with *some* of the listings in the compatibility list, is that some people have pretty low standards when it comes to a game "working fine".  Some entries are exactly true, but I've seen a lot of overly optimistic entries.  



I have been playing OOT, and I also agree with some of the other posters that there is a memory leak going on.  IMO, it seems like the VM isn't properly flushing unused assets, when they aren't being used.  Each new area you load, the total mb of memory goes down.  When you get to 1mb you will crash when bringing up the dash, or sometimes when saving.  I have no idea if that is correct.  I am not a programmer, it's just my guess.  

Here is my question.  And I'm sure it's been answered before, but I can't find it.  

Why can't you just set your VM settings to 64 or 128mb of disk memory?  Wouldn't being able to have a chunk of memory with the whole game loaded up work?  

It just seems weird that the pcsxbox can play a 600mb cd image from the HDD, but for some reason no one seems to ever run surreal with really high VM settings.  I know pcsxbox does not use VM, but I think it proves the HDD is fast enough to access things when they are needed.

well guys, I dont know if its been reported or not, but their seems to be an error when loading roms from a dvd i have the iso made up and the correct paths, I heard someone saying the xbox the way the surreal beta 3 b code is written trys to write to the dvd. It worked fine on 1.0. any help on this would be apperciated.

So the best way is to wait for a new version of the SurrealXX or what?

I would like to play it now...

Or is it perhaps the ROM? I have the EUR ROM of Conker, should I try the US version?

Do u think, it makes any diffenrence?

[Enzomatrx]

excellent release and awesome to see Surreal continued in some sense.
However, I am having problems with save states in various games.
I uploaded Surreal XXX b3 over an older Surreal XXX, and now whenever I try to save a state, it freezes.

Paper Mario, WWf No Mercy, Smash Brothers, etc. have all done the same.  I go to the menu, do "save state", click "slot 1" and it freezes.  I have to cold boot reboot the XBox to try again.

Just hoping there's a fix for this.

Keep up the great work!

I live in England and I always use American roms, because they're the definitive English language versions. I'd guess using [E] roms makes some difference.  

Conker works for me using the ! rom.
In fact, when it works, it works great and it look's really good using the latest plugin!

It has crashed tons of times, though - whenever it wants to.. Which is very annoying.  
Some games last 30 mins, some 5 before the freeze, which means having to power off and reboot often.

Sometimes, after a crash has happened, if I load up Surreal then Conker, it will crash straight after the Game Save is loaded. (I don't mean the Statesave - that crashes Surreal every time!).

I hope this supposed memory leak is plugged for the sake of our Xbox's power supplies.

Thx @ Far Beyond Driven,

you helped me a lot!

So I will try the US version of Conker's BFD, perhaps I have more luck with it.

@Enzomatrx
The savestates are saved at e:\TDATA\a64fea57. I guess you should delete this folder with the old savegames (don't worry, this folder will be created again automatically when you launch the emu again!). Maybe the emu has a prob to save state when there is already a (saved)-file with the same name (hope you understand this). Please tell if it worked, to lazy to check it myself, sorry.
And to all people having the same problem like me 5 minutes ago with the black screen after loading a rom using SurrealXXX (only if you've installed Surreal64 before that):
In this case you really have to delete the a64fea57 folder in TDATA. Maybe it's possible to just delete a few files and not the whole folder but I don't know which ones, so just delete it (will be created again!). After that SurrealXXX worked (for me).

Is everybody having trouble with savestates?  I really havent tried much, but I think it failed for me while playing conkers.. I usually just use the regular ingame save.   I remember the last version of FDB's surreal not working well with savestates, at least for me anyway.  Did this xxx version derive from any of those sources?

Do you have a DVD dongle? If so please unplug it.

[mr_chips]

I'm also wondering whether Conker runs as good as it used to.  I tried that one setting and everything seems fine until you defeat the haystack guy.  Also I still have to test savestates.  Probably a little more extensively.
