Great work guys. This is amazing and really detailed unlike past compatibility lists.

I don't think you understand how long it took to make those lists; which I contributed to many many years ago. Just take a moment to contemplate what you say next time please.

But I'm glad you're showing appreciation for the... well your, current work. It's important to give thanks to those who work so hard for themselves; and us.

I have a great appreciation for the effort being put into this, as I know how much time it takes to even make a less detailed list.

I'm very happy that N64 Emulation will become even better on the xbox soon!

EDIT: Keep in mind how far emulation on the xbox has come over the years. We started off with a broken Daedalus emulator that had exceedingly limited capabilities. But it was still more than welcome and used by many. And we were as thankful for that effort; as we are with new efforts.

@ benderunit1 Great work guys. This is amazing and really detailed unlike past compatibility lists. But understandable because N64 emulation was fairly new to the xbox-scene.

What's wrong with that statement? I copied and pasted this from my initial post.  Maybe a comma instead of a period wouldn't have made it look like such a BOLD sentence.  Trust me I know how long that takes because I've tried to develop my own personal compatibility list and gave up after completing up to the letter D lol.  This is great though everybody is contributing a piece to the project and is giving their input on their games and also giving better options to improve games that were already improved! Can't wait to see this ini complete.  By the way, am I the only one who has played the mario 64 hack on the Xbox?

[dnyce1987]

My bad Monkey I thought that was to be used for games that needed tweaking of the settings and thought that by just mentioning default settings one could infer from your compatibility what it is since it's listed on the top there.  I think there are also 2 translated games off of romhacking and an unreleased game that needs to be added but I don't have them and can't test it right now because I'm doing some major customization to my box right now as we speak.  The games are called Sin & Punishment, Wonder Project J2, and the unreleased game 40 Winks.

It's all good dnyce1987  

Your post was fine! I just wanted to put the template code up on this page so that people can easily copy it if they want to post more settings  

Thanks again for the info about the other games. If you could post up some settings for those here too then I'll add them to the list also!

so how far is this project now? wonderin how close to completion it is. cant wait for that sicky ini file

[cbagy]

Im keen on this project. Its exactly what it needed. From here a dev may be more interested in developing it further now users have showed a renewed interest.

It's pretty close. I'm just going through the list another time to check the settings and tweak them a bit more if possible/necessary. I've gone through up to F now and have added to the settings and descriptions for a lot of games   Give me a few more days to go over the rest of the list and I'll get started on the ini! I think the ini should only take me a day or so since it will be pretty much a copy and paste job

Well I think we are close but we are still missing  allot of games  

I never really intended to include all of the international or hacked games on this list, so for me it's pretty close to complete as far as number of games goes. Although I'm more than happy to add any international or hacked games to the list if the settings are posted up here!

Cheers cbagy, I really hope that a Dev gets inspired by this and sees that there is still lots of potential for developing a perfect (or as close as can be) N64 emulator for the xbox. This list demonstrates, and even surprises me, as to how well this emulator actually 'can' work.  

Of course, a proper update to the core would surely dwarf this project in terms of increasing playability and removing glitches from many games

i use both surreal b5 and surreal b5 ce (the saves and ini are the same)and monaco grand prix doesnt work on b5 ce,but works on b5..the same occur with quake 2 and other games that i dont remenber...i noted that plugin 6.11 dont work well in b5 ce...so i sujest that the testers would use the 2 emulators...it would increase compatibility...
sory...bad english...but i will try test some games too

I'm pretty sure Ez0n3 didn't go deep enough in to affect the plugins.

B5 had problems like the Vid Memory setting not working correctly, as well as 1964 using PJ64 paging memory settings. The rest of his changes were largely UI related. Taking this into account is there a difference between B5 and B5.1CE?

Great thread guys!

Is there anyway at all to get the Arrow on the map working on "Zelda: Ocarina of Time" ?
(Shows where you are on the map)

I cant play that game without it

Good to add description ...
Very great to know before launching the game exactly what is working or not ...
But the problem is on the emulator ... it just let us see a few words, the begining of the sentence ...
All the description is not visible and it is a very big problem i think

[Monkeys69]

Alright, I think it's time.

I'm starting the ini file. Wish me luck peoples  

[Monkeys69]

Ok well I didn't get far    I don't know how to add preferences for which video plugin to use in the surreal.ini file. Does anyone know what the command for this is? I'm sure there must be a command for it because there are command for every other preference.

It's easy for the other preferences, they are as follows:

Preferred Emulator=0 (1964)
Preferred Emulator=1 (PJ64)
Preferred Emulator=2 (ULTRA HLE)
1964 Dyna Mem=x
1964 Paging Mem=x
PJ64 Dyna Mem=x
PJ64 Paging Mem=x
Max Video Mem=x
Use Basic Audio=1 (on, 0 off)
Use LLE RSP=1 (on, 0 off)

I've also found these commands from another thread which aren't really necessary but might be useful for games with very touch controls (like goldeneye):

NPad Deadzone=2015
XPad Deadzone=0.37
XPad Summand=0.01

I'm not sure what they mean exactly. Deadzone makes sense, not sure about Summand? Anyone?

Can't really start the ini file until I know what the commands are  

[Monkeys69]

Ah Ha! I found it. It was in the .nfo  

Ok, now to start work on the .ini for real
