I Need Help With Emulators Cuz Im Clueless...

Q : How can i continue playing a game that requires you to switch cd's? (save game wise)
A : put the bin/cue of each game in its own numbered folder (ff7a, ff7b ff7c), but name each bin/cue file in that dir the same.
(like with Final Fantasy 7 call all bin files FF7.bin) (don't number the bin files)
then when you save your game right before they ask for the second disc, you can run the second disc with that save.
it starts up just like normal.



Hmm this might need some more explaining, i'd edit the post in the answer thread but my request for mod powers for this forum has gone unanswered.

(i'm using final fantasy 7 as an example here)

make the following dirs.

Final Fantasy 7a
Final Fantasy 7b
Final Fantasy 7c

in those dirs save your bin/cue's
but make sure all are named ff7.bin (or finalfantasy7.bin whatever)

so you'll end you end up with :

F:\Roms\PS1\Final Fantasy 7a\ff7.bin
F:\Roms\PS1\Final Fantasy 7b\ff7.bin
F:\Roms\PS1\Final Fantasy 7c\ff7.bin

(path may be different on your xbox, but again this is just an example)

Now when you reach the end of the first disc you can save the game,
now quit the game and load up the second disc, it will then load your savegame since the filenames are the same.

this should do the trick.

2. How does Surreal64xxx beta5 run?  Does it work well compared to past editions because right now I have a version of Surreal that is probably a few years old and plays starfox and super mario 64. Thats about it...



yes it works decent. not all games. but more than 2.

Surreal64xxx B5.1 ce is out: http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=684501. and possible 6.0 in the some what near future with better hopefully with the latest 1964 source. but thats a maybe.

use different settings to get games to work better/ at all. here is a tread on good settings: http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=213841

some games have weird quirks like zelda 64 ocarina of time needs to have the audio plugin changed to show all textures correctly.
