xyteam, thankyou very much.

hrm, my games dont load with the settings from the ini file (yep i deleted the ini folder first).
everytime i load a game it asks me what emu and video plugin to use and its always set to pj64 and the same rice plugin.

my roms are from the no-intro set so i renamed a couple to the tosec naming convention (and made sure they matched the filename in the surreal.ini) but theyre still loading in the same way. is it because theyre zipped on the xbox so the checksums dont match to those in the surreal.ini do you think?

Are you using the B5.1 CE emulator, or a different build? That could be your problem.

As far as the roms, I have never had a problem with any set, usually all works fine.

Those patches are for B5. The latest version is B5.1CE, no patches need to be applied.

I have no idea why t his would have fixed it but it did, sort of. I put a bunch of roms onto a DVD finally and ran it and the normal No Mercy version loaded up. Now it takes forever to load when you back up editing a wrestler and going to a match and what not, but I'm thinking it might have something to do with running from a DVD. But the edits are saved now, matches run fine, etc... No clue as to why it was all stuttery on the hard drive to begin with, but oh well, works now.

One little question:
What have you writing in the ini to show up your roms on the dvd?
This is my rom Path for HDD:

Rom Path=D:\Roms\
Media Path=D:\Media\

But i don´t know what i´m writing in the ini to show up the roms on the dvd.

Ooooo i'm an idiot. Thanks for pointing that out :-)

One question, what does the emulator use to match roms to configurations? It's not the file name so i guess it's the checksum or something? In which case, does it make a difference if the roms are zipped up? Will it still match them correctly?

ok i reinstalled without the incorrect updates and of course it now works fine...
thanks for your help

I have a question. On the google spreadsheet it says that Mario 64: the Missing Stars is playable with certain settings. Is this true? Every time I try to run the patched rom it just stays a black screen. Am I doing something wrong?

  Anything new for Surreal64 yet?  I've heard about Wii64 Beta 1.1, and it seems to run some games a bit better than Surreal64, such as NBA Showtime.  However, this Wii64 plays a lot fewer games and some with more texture problems, such as Banjo Kazooi.  I am wondering, if somehow Wii64 becomes the better N64 compatible emulator than Surreal64, if it is possible to import this Wii64 emulator into my softmodded XBOX?

No, that's silly talk.

Mario Party 2
ROM Info: [!]
Emu: (PJ64)
Vid Plugin: (5.60)
Audio: (Jttl)
Video: 2MB
Dynarec: 20MB
Paging: 6MB

These are the settings that I use for Mario Party 2 (my personal favourite mario party)

Basically using 1964 will grant you better text, no lag and is almost 100%. Unfortunately it is pretty unreliable for playing an entire game. It will usually freeze the game between move 8-15. At least that is what the story seems to be for me.. So if you are having issues playing through an entire game then try the above settings.

The text issues remain, mainly when you are setting up the game (however funky text doesn't matter at all if you cant finish playing through your favourite map!). While in a mini game if you are unsure of you to play it make sure you learn on your first scroll through the text, as it is usually ok the first time round, however after that it turns to funky text again.

The game has very slight slow down on the main board when you are moving players, though in mini games any slow down is extremely rare with these settings. I played through an entire game with only 2 slow downs in mini games (which were very very minor stutters in the game). If you would like more stuttering in mini games and less on the game board then pump up the video memory to around 5, the game will still run but the mini games will be less acurate. Personally I believe that as long as the mini games are running well and you can complete the game then you are laughing.

I have found these settings to be the best for accomplishing that. Although if you are completing it in 1964 then stick with that.

Who knows? But now that I think about it.....it might not work even if I were to somehow import Wii64 to my Xbox due to how the Wii has those motion-censored controls and Xbox does not. For all I know Wii64 seems to be the only N64 Emulator in progress. I haven't heard anything new about Surreal64 yet.

But I have been messing around with Mario Tennis lately...I got better settings for it.  My settings have reduced that graphical glitch where trail behind the tennis ball.  The tennis courts are not missing graphics within them.  The character's shading is no longer big black squares.  ONLY big problem is that after you win a Tournament (Mushroom, etc.), the characters are missing in the scene, which all you see is the tennis court setting and your character's shade followed by the audio.  Can't seem to fix this for some reason. Anyways below are my settings:  (light green)

Mario Tennis 64 (E)(!):
Audio: JTTL
Max Video memory: 2 mb
Dynarec: 15 mb
Paging: 2 mb
EMU: PJ64
Video plugin: Rice 5.60

Emulators are generally ported from PC to console, not console to console. This is even more true for a console like the Xbox which is very similar to a standard PC.

If you don't happen to know, Wii64 is a N64 emulator for the Wii that is in progress nowadays.  Wii64 can be downloaded, which it even has its own site.  I checked it out on youtube and it seems to have the same problems as Surreal64 when it comes to glitches but NOT to textures and graphics.  Graphics and textures are more advanced on Surreal64 than on Wii64.  I also checked the Wii64 compatibility list and fewer games are compatible with Wii64 in comparison to Surreal64 but not by much.  I wish Surreal64 was still in progress... in fact, I wish I could do some progress on Surreal64 compatibility myself, but I don't know anything about coding nor do I understand its coding.

The wii64 emulator actually uses a gamecube controller only which is actually a little odd considering the other wii emulators you can use the wand, gamecube controller or that wii normal controller
-The only thing I've seen wii64 do that surreal can't is show the mario face when you start super mario 64
All I want is goldeneye not to freeze when playing multiplayer   I'm pretty sure its a software issue since I have the same exact problem on my 64mb and 128mb xboxes.
