Anyway, this new release seems to have resolved the issue with upgraded XBOX systems. Thanks for the update! My 1.4ghz - 128 RAM Trusty Xbox now loads games without issues, here are some results:
Conkers Bad Fur day plays well using 1964/Rice 5.61, usually averaging about 20 FPS, but varying sometimes to 15 or as high as 30. Sound is consistent without stuttering.
Majora's Mask also plays OK. Average framerate is 74 using 1964/Rice 5.1. It also varies and sometimes the music stutters, but not nearly as bad as on a stock Xbox. I noticed in the Clock Town the slowdown is significantly diminished. Sometimes the framerate drops to 40 and the music stutters, but that usually when entering (loading) a different part of town. On a stock Xbox when I tried playing this game, I turned it off when I got to this part. smile.gif
All in all, favorable results. There are a lot of bugs in this emulator still though. For instance, in Conkers, there are a few points when you see things from the (drunk) characters point of view. These, I assume, blurry/drunk views are gibberish computer artifacts.
This is run at 480P.
Any games in particular I should test? I don't know much about the n64.

. Great job cbagy!Thats right, pick on the skinny kid. lol.
As weinerschnitzel said, there's a good change the images are there just labelled as a different crc.
Copy the image and name it to suit your rom's crc.
I have no doubt the will be quite a few missing, i only made what boxart was available from a paticular source, as to that source, i can't even remember.
Have a good look through them on your PC and if there's any missing let me know and i'll see if i can't find a good image to make a box out of. ok !

Orignal Xbox says, (in a deep voice)
"HEHEHEHEHE...........THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR ABANDONING MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
HEHE...Just Kidding........Your on your own with the Xbox360 for now.
It took years to discover how to get the original Xbox to have the N64 emulator.
Just in case...for the future....you might want to hold on to your XBOX360 once a new system comes out, as the XBOX360 will become cheaper to buy and replace.....resulting in more experimentation in it.

Yes, i have verifyed too ... and all the 3DBoxart are here now, i have just complete in the old threed with some who were forgived, and 3 translated games too.
But now all is here ... the games we don't have made 3DBoxart are the JAP games nont translate in english ... but one of them is really excelent, and can be played easily in JAP ... tell me and i will the 3DBoxart too
Thanks for the works guys ... it is really impressive to see it

You'd get RROD before you can enjoy the n64 on 360, cause the console is built like a piece of shit
I feel much safer on the original xbox console, as do many others.

hey thanks for the hardwork. im hopping mario64 been fix. in 5.3 you couldnt jump out of the water and ran a little slower.
Mario64? It works like a champ. If you're having problems jumping out of the water it is probably because the joystick sensitivity is still set at the default 5. That is a too low. Mario will walk/run slower and might not be able to jump out of water. Go with at least 7.

My 128mb box will not play Perfect Dark on either of the three emus on B5.31. It just loads to a black screen and my box freezes. It may be just my rom tho as I have never got it to work on any xbox.

goldeneye single player works on both my 64 and 128 mb xboxes
I play using ultrahle
however multiplayer freezes after a few kills
on perfect dark I always play using PJ64 and it plays on the 64mb xbox but not the 128mb
whereas B5 did play it
I dont play perfect dark on 1964 because on multiplayer i get the corrupt memory pack error and then theres no characters so when a match start it just freezes

Mempaks are going to be worked on for B5.5.
The Deadzone feature modifies the XBOX_CONTROLLER_DEAD_ZONE raw value. It could be switched to a multiplier and act as a percentage, however 100% would be 32768 (the entire xbox controller range) and the percentage may not be what you assume it is. I agree it would be more user friendly, so I'll have it done.
The boxart are really .png's. We're just fooling the XXX GUI to render them with transparency. Any real cosmetic changes aren't likely as a new GUI is in the works, courtesy of Freakdave.
The Goldeneye multiplayer crash is a result of an audio buffer bug in UHLE. Freakdave has tried a few things with this but it seems to be rather tricky.
Perfect Dark on PJ64 for 128mb boxes is very puzzling to me. Since Ez0n3 reverted the rom paging method to the original method used in Surreal64 1.0, 128mb support dropped off. Unless I screwed something up while getting 128mb boxes to use the xxx method and overlooked it several times, I can't put my finger on it. There are still a few things I can try.

The comment box says: plays perfectly" for "Clay Fighter 63 1/3" & "Clay Fighter sculptors Cut"
-"Clay Fighter sculptors Cut" froze on me at the very beginning.
-"Clay Fighter 63 1/3" : I got to a match and there was major texture glitches (like the ground flashing white, back and forth) and then it froze on me.
I am using the default, .ini that came with this build and I haven't modified anything.
Have you guys tried this? What is wrong with it? Just wanted to let you guys know my findings. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
EDIT: WCW NWO: Revenge froze "black" on me after the load screen
Also,
Although I love the new 3D Boxarts standard... Is it possible that you make and option to pic either 3d or 2d boxart?
I know this would require writing it in as well as someone remaking a new set of (good) 2d boxarts & renaming of course...

So use the U! version.

Tony Hawk should play in Rice 5.31, Basic audio for best performance, but if audio cuts out after awhile, try Azimer or MusyX. There is also a shadow glitch that can probably be fixed with some ini tweaking. If you find yourself using Azimer or MusyX, some more ini tweaking could yield better speeds.
Anyone noticing white flickering textures on Rice 5.60, this is a known issue in 5.4 and has been fixed for 5.5.

Oops, what a terrible mistake I made. You mentioned Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2, sorry for mentioning that it runs a little better on the previous version. Was thinking maybe you were looking for something better, based on your post. So sorry.
Look. I used a cute little underline too.
Before you start running your mouth off, I wasn't being disrespectful to you, I was pointing out that this thread is for B5.4 and what you put was settings for was for a previous version, and Im sure there is a topic somewhere for that.

How come we never came to the point where all rom's run perfectly? its been over 7 years and still the games have graphic problems and freezing issues.
Well.....configuring 3D texture games is a lot more challenging than 2D texture games. As the N64 uses 3D texture games, it contains more settings for it to work....which are very difficult to adjust because every rom has its own particular settings. Unfortunately, UltraHLE is no longer in progress, and both 1964 and PJ64 have slowed down in progress...which has slowed the entire Surreal64 progress down. Unless you know how to code these roms correctly and adjust their settings, I suggest you be patient and wait for updates as they come along.

forgive me if this question is stupid, but i was reading in this thread that goldeneye had been fixed up a bit. and something about the analog deadzone or sensitivity or something.
Does that mean that the cursor will be usable in goldeneye now? like you will be able to use the sniper rifle and stuff?
Because if so, this release will be my favourite yet!
Nice work for constantly improving 64 emulation on the xbox... I find that I now use my xbox for pretty much all of my 64 emulation needs and dont even look towards my PC.
It is truly ridiculous how far we have come with emulation on the xbox. I dont care what anyone says, because it seems as though we pretty much have perfect emulation in so many games now.
Looking forward to all future releases!
I set my analog setting to 4 and it seems to work pretty good, but you wont be running quite as fast as before, I think I been using ultrahle. Runs pretty good

Not sure which version I have, but it's the first one which fixed the targeting issues on Goldeneye. I was just at my bros trying to play it last weekend and though it seems that 1 player works fine, on 2 player games with the default settings from Monkey's project the game seems to freeze when a character dies (most of the time) and it also freezes randomly throughout.
Has anyone else noticed this and/or figured out a way to fix it?

WWF No Mercy works better than on pc
That is it for me with Surreal64......for now......as my XBOX v1.0 now needs to be modchipped (which is why my progress on Surreal64 has been delayed)
The rest of my progress (which is an update on the PJ64. rdb) will be released with Freakdave's next update to Surreal64.

I've only played 2 player on Mario Kart battlemode so far, but it plays perfect. Here's hoping 4 player does as well. I should know soon.
Goldeneye is the only other game I care about for the system. N64 in my opinion didn't have much to offer for a library in general, but Goldeneye and Kart 64 are 2 of the best 4 player games ever made. There's been tons of copycats since and even though some of them may be superior to them now, there's a lot to be said about nostaliga. A lot of good times have been had playing these games 4 players.
BTW.. does anybody know if that other good 4 player game works? The one where a bunch of Nintendo characters beat the hell out of each other? I forget the name. It had a version for the Gamecube, but it suffered from the same problem that Kart 64 did.... they both sucked on the Gamecube.

Oh wow. Nevermind. PJ is defaulted for Goldeneye. No Thanks. I'll take smooth with a chance of crash (UHLE) over consistently choppy(PJ). Maybe it fares better on a 128mb xbox.......
@ressurectionx
3-4 player Mario Kart does work really well. Although it doesn't run as well as 2 player, the real n64 didn't run it as smoothly either. I recommend the 5.31 plugin though, so that when you use a ghost you can still see yourself on your screen properly...... or if you're racing a ghost in time trials.
also..... you must mean SUPER SMASH BROTHERS. One of my favorites. Gameplay for this game is pretty good. It runs smoothly on 1964 but you can't see your hand icon to make selections. Assigning cpu players and difficulty settings it really tough. You can see the hand icon in PJ, but it doesn't run as well. I recommend the 5.10 plugin, or else Congo jungle and Dreamland backgrounds are goofed.
PJ64 does a better job with the graphics.....like the sky. No longer crashes during intense 2 player battles (rocket launcher)....
though i didn't try 3 or 4 player battle yet. Some slowdown....but nothing too serious. Still very playable.....it doesn't glitch on PJ64 as in the previous Surreal64 releases. So I guess it is just an update....not quite sure how to solve the crashing issue on UltraHLE.I recommend playing Goldeneye w/ PJ64 (as it won't crash)....for now

The multiplayer Goldeneye crashes are still existent but way over my head and freakdave is still working away at the new launcher.

Fixed: Fog was enabled in 5.6 causing Texture problems
Fixed: Settings Menu did not show Rom name
Changed: Deadzone is now calculated by percent, can still be tweaked a little bit
Fixed: Possibly fixed a bug where Surreal would crash if the rom list wasn't already loaded. Needs testing!
This would have very few new features if any, as freakdave is focusing on A1.0 and I'm no where near as talented as he is.
Development for Surreal64CE A1.0
1964 v1.1 - development halted. Freakdave's port (1964z) is available on SF.net http://surreal64xxxc.../branches/A0.1/
Any developer that feels they can at least move this project to the next step please do!
Launcher - still being developed on private SVN.
Skinning support is what freakdave is still nailing down.
After the skin engine works properly and the first skin is created, the GUI can be tweaked to work with the most recent xbox sources. No more XXX menu!

the ign site says "Release Date: November 2, 2010" still looks like its coming. we'll see how it is once its out.
as for the skin looking black and white with a little color, yea that is how its supposed to look and as John McClane i went to neils222's skin. i also liked the old default skin but with this music instead:

On the To Do list would be:
-Addressing audio bug in Launcher
-Addressing mempak bug and set rumblepak to default
-Create new approach to rompaging using Surreal 1.0, Surreal CVS and Team XXX rompaging. This should resolve 128mb discrepancies once and for all
-Anything else doable and necessary

Major differences from B5.4:
Rice 5.60 texture issues fixed
Various cosmetic changes to the Launcher and InGameMenu
Font colors are now customizable per skin Font.ini
RumblePak is now default
Default Sensitivity is now 100%
Deadzone no longer subtracts from controller range (you can snipe in GoldenEye now)
Working on:
Returning to launcher upon Emu crash
ToDo:
Audio loop bug in Launcher
Look at MemPak issues

1. After exiting a rom/game, make sure that the game is still highlighted in the menu and it does not jump to the top again. This would make it easier to test for better settings in the future.
2. Have an enable/disable feature that allows the games to be launched with optimal settings automatically. What I mean is, when you click on a game, it would automatically start with the optimal settings. Then in the surreal options menu, have an enable/disable button that allows you to launch the game with optimal settings or allows you to launch the game like usual by picking 1964, Project 64, etc. This would make it easier for people (noobs) to play the games because then those people would be able to play the games without being able to mess around with the settings.
If these 2 things were added, I think that we could get Surreal to work even better by doing further testing on the games. I know this sounds like a lot of work but I know that it would be worth it in the end, eh weinerschnitzel?
Then we would have to get a group of people to start testing again.

I have two ideas that I think would be very beneficial for us in Surreal64 XXX CE B5.5. Here they are:
1. After exiting a rom/game, make sure that the game is still highlighted in the menu and it does not jump to the top again. This would make it easier to test for better settings in the future.
2. Have an enable/disable feature that allows the games to be launched with optimal settings automatically.

Then we would have to get a group of people to start testing again.
i have always advocated for #1. big time. its just annoying even just wanting to mess around and play different games, that it always send you to the top again. why?!
and #2 would be sweet as well. if the optimal settings are already highlighted why press more buttons? just choose it and go!
i second these
Post by: weinerschnitzel on October 16, 2010, 09:07:00 AM
Optimal settings should already be applied by default with the shipped ini's. It wouldn't be very practical for us to hard code the settings in when they can change with someone's tweaks. Scorp316 has been working to improve gaming compatibility by tweaking these ini's. If I'm not wrong hes adding all of the settings entries into the inis so tweakers won't have to figure out which settings are available. If you would like to contribute in that manner I'd ask Scorp316 to show you the ropes.
As for the noobs maybe Hide Launch Menu's should be enabled by default.
Post by: dballs442 on October 16, 2010, 10:58:00 AM
or at very least have a star next to the ones the ini has listed as best option. that way if someone does move the cursor around they can still know which one is best to choose.

I've lost count of the number of time somebody has changed these settings and ruined a game, its really annoying especially since I spent ages helping add those settings to the ini, its just far too easy to mess them up in this emulator
kids especially can break this emu sooo easy: up, green, broke - thats it!
I've even had a problem with a dodgy controller (stuck on up) totally messin them up every time I tried to select a game AGH

Mario Tennis (U) (!) no longer crashes, but it has much more missing textures and
glitches.
-Doom 64 (U)(!) = No longer uses UltraHLE. Uses PJ64 instead. No longer crashes during gameplay.
Only thing is that the lining view (or the "Atari looking" view) doesnt render correctly.
Gameplay is perfect.
-Tony Hawk Pro Skater (U)(!) = Added more settings to it. Works almost perfectly.
-Killer Instinct Gold (U)(v1.2)(!) = No longer has annoying glitching in the menu...but it will still eventually
crash during gameplay. Gameplay is great though...until it crashes.
-Resident Evil 2 (U)(!) = No longer has annoying glitches. Has new settings.....yet still unplayable. Pause
menu doesnt render, fmv doesnt render, and background setting during gameplay
doesnt render. Only the cutscene after beginning a new game renders......and the
main character, zombies, and fire in the street as well.
-Virtual Pro Wrestling 64 (J)(!) = Works perfectly with 1964. Now has default settings.
-Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 (J)(!) = Works well with PJ64. Now has default settings.
I've added my own boxart for Virtual Pro Wrestling 64 and Virtual Pro Wrestling 2.....but they are not 3D boxarts. (So I might/might not release them for the next release of Surreal64)
I've also fixed the boxart for Bomberman 64 - The Second Attack....it should no longer use the Bomberman64 boxart.
So that's about it for now. Hopefully I get more games running better. It sure feels great to be back.

-Madden NFL '99 (U)(!)= Plays almost perfectly. Less stuttery audio w/ LLE RSP(main reason why it isn't perfect). Fps is improved......seems to run normally.
-Madden NFL 2000 (U)(!)= Playable, but some slowdown. Takes awhile to load into gameplay. Fps is improved, but faces some slowdown. Less stuttery audio w/ LLE RSP.
-Madden NFL 2001 (U)(!)= Playable, but some slowdown. Takes awhile to load into gameplay. Fps is improved, but has some slowdown. Less stuttery audio w/ LLE RSP.
For some reason, Madden NFL 2000-2002 takes awhile to load into gameplay and have slowdowns at times. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I mean if the surreal.ini is already set up with the best possible options for most games anyway might as well not see it every time you select a game. seems more like a developer tool than a everyday joe option. could still be an option when hitting X in the rom list. or just like i said make it be able to toggle on and off.
sorry if this is already been addressed.

Will there be a perfect pixel mode for Surreal? Also, is there a list of games that work 100% without issues? For instance, I noticed that Conkers works well until you see things through his "hungover eyes" at which point the filter used by the N64 console makes surreals video output go crazy.
Thanks again, I'm really looking forward to trying this out!

That SLG3000 is a neat toy. I haven't heard of an xbox emulator outputting 240p though. Sure we can change the back buffer, but I don't have one of those so I couldn't test it. I'll let you know if I decide to do something about it and maybe you can tell me if it works. What about 480p with scanlines? Xport/Madmab emu's have this feature, and you wouldn't need to spend the money to buy one.
I was playing with anti-aliasing the other day and I intend to include an option for that as well. It eats a lot of memory and in turn throws off a lot of the compatibility settings. I'm doing a memory upgrade this weekend so I should be able to test it without crashing the emu on initialization for most games.
For Conker, the bug you are referring to is from the Rice plugin itself and we can't do much about it without some hardcore directx knowledge and close help from Rice.
@Xboxer,
Mempaks would still be something we need to looked at. If you did some research for us on which versions of Surreal it worked on, and where it broke, it would save us a lot of time that we could spend actually working on it.

We're still playing with the view port. I do intend to include a full screen setting where you can chose between an unstretched 4:3 aspect ratio and a stretched 16:9 aspect ratio. What is interesting is a hacked view port where you can play some games in true widescreen. No promises on that, but its worth checking out if you got some free time. Youtube it.
I've tried a few games in true widescreen in the original, non-ported emulators. It's pretty cool. Unfortunately in my experience the 2d graphics tend to not show properly (hud, background, etc). For example in Mario Kart the map overlay is all messed up and the background/sky stops where the 4:3 aspect border would end and causes weird errors. The 3d stuff works fine though. Even if it worked to that extent, that would be awesome (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Is there any way to have multiple versions of surreal at the same time? I'm thinking no, because saves and settings are not saved in the surreal folder (but in E:\TDATA\a64fea57). My first version of surreal was xxxb5. I've always had mempak problems, but I could work around it in 5.31 by starting off with rumble and then using the button combo to switch. Starting with mempak as default wouldn't work. I could dl the older versions and try to find one that works.

Unstretched, 4:3 ratio would be great! I'll check out the stuff on YouTube, but I'm a purist.

Yes, the SLG3000 is great - highly recommended! No XBOX can output 240p. Its lowest resolution is 480i. You can get real 240p output by using a VGA, 480p output into an Extron Emotia unit. You just flip a switch and it creates a real-deal 240p output. This is for SDTVs only.
480p output is all you need for the SLG3000 and its meant for use with HDTVs.
None of the Xport/Madmab emus do proper scanlines. The only emulators that do are Lantus' NeoGeo CD emu and Final Burn Legends. Both need to be in 480p mode and be outputting perfect pixels for it to look correct. FBL is bad for perfect pixel, but I'm working on a set of INIs that will enable it for 480i/p users. This set won't include any settings for vertical games because FBL doen't handle the rotation properly.

Seems kind of weird that all xxx versions seem to be doing it for you. What about Surreal 1.0?
Do you mean the save and load state options? Kind of confused as to how Mario Kart takes advantage of mempaks. AFAIK, there isn't a save/load feature in the game like Mario 64, Goldeneye, etc.
Maybe you can walk through the process you're using to save and how you are retrieving it? IE, I go here and do this and then do that, etc. Lay out some breadcrumbs

AntiAliasing is a new thing now. You might not be able to use it with 720p but if you tinker with some memory settings and enable 2x Quincunx you should have some good antialiasing. 4x Gaussian would be the best if you can spare the memory. Makes having 128mb a little more useful.
Linear modes are available as well, if people want to use those. Edge AntiAliasing is there, but you might see some wire frames that aren't too pleasant. Some games look ok though.

For now, at least the bright side is that you can pause the music Just imagine if it couldn't be paused and if it looped as well....good thing this isn't a case for Surreal64....nor was it ever Keep up the great work everyone

Mario Kart has its own memory in the cartridge to keep up with your progress and race times, but with a mempak you can save ghost data in time trials to race against yourself.

Only V1.0 would save and load properly for me.
QUOTE(Xboxer64 @ Mar 18 2011, 05:46 PM)
I went ahead and tried Freakdave's FDB versions. I could not get mempaks to load in those versions either, mempaks will only work in V1.0 for me. I must mention that I really like the on screen notification in the FDB versions when you switch from rumble to mempak. I also noticed that the older versions have multiple save state slots. Is there a key combo to do the same thing in the current versions? Or is there just the 1 slot?
Thanks for that, I believe it is sorted out now. Ultra's MemPaks seem to not work even going all the way back to 1.0. But 1964 and PJ64 should be ok in the next one.
Until then, you can try starting the rom with mempak and making your ghost. Then try switching to none and restart the rom. You won't be able to save another until you switch back though.
There should be 5 save state slots in the in-game menu. Currently adding back in the notifications.

I meant to say...that there should be more background music tracks (instead of just 1) to represent each skin.....so that the music will be less repetitive. It would also be a good idea if the music tracks were to play at random so that the sequence would be different everytime Surreal64 is launched.
@ Passerby...You do know that you can turn down the volumn of the background music tracks of those emulators, right?...just saying

With all of these fixes, ui improvements, and anti-aliasing, I'm gonna have to take the new Surreal64 for a spin once it's released. 480i with AA should look pretty good on an SDTV. Is it safe to assume that 4x Gaussian AA will have enough memory at 480i in most cases?

GoldenEye will crash if you get 3 or 4 players looking at each other in multiplayer. It also happens randomly. There isn't much we can do about it. Its still fast and pretty reliable for single player. Use UltraHLE.
I get a better experience in Conker using 1964, JttL, M64Plus RSP with RSP Audio listing on, and Rice 5.60. PJ64 gets a little choppy and the gfx flicker every now and then. I'm sure the ini can fix it, but it may drop the frames to something more realistic. 1964 also plays the cutscenes at a better speed. JttL doesn't stutter as much and LLE RSP uses more memory and cpu than the other HLE plugins. Frame rate is around 19-25 fps but closer to 21 which is pretty usable I'll say.
Edit: Wasn't there a GoldenEye mod for Perfect Dark?

Rare does some crazy shit with their games. I fired it up with Rice 6.1.2 in B5.4 and just like parts of Conquer, some of the vertexes were off. They accomplished some great things but they make it difficult.
What I don't understand is the fact that it runs in UHLE... of all things.

It's really exciting, waiting for the next release of Surreal, and knowing that on a standard X-Box you can play games in 720p HD. I'm really curious how much of the source they waded through, because some of the source seems laggy on even the PC.
An estimated date would really kick ass, or at least a teaser with the new features. Again, the project feed likes to have a character limit, and I never know exactly what you've done, and like the one thing, that I can't recall at the moment, we have to come here and ask, which I am sure takes more of your time.

The cores of the emulators really haven't been touched too much. About the only people that could go through them and speed them up significantly are their original authors. PJ64 and UltraHLE are getting no love from theirs atm, but we do have and are still working on the new source for 1964. Most of the performance gains and mem saving things are from using new plugins and removing unused stuff to trim the size. Many of the features from Surreal 1.0 plus new ones will be in there as well as many bug fixes.
PSX is a whole 'nother ball of wax. About the only similarity is that it's an emulator that also works on the xbox.
BTW: Does anyone know where to get the Rice 5.1.0 win32 source? It's missing from my collection

Another thing I was wondering was will Surreal support video files on the main menu, showing you the game that is currently highlighted? That would be a nice feature, though it's a million times less important than making sure the games work properly, of course.
It sure will, here's a link to a video freakdave posted a few pages back:

That's great! What's Goldeneye: X actually like? Does it play on Surreal? I don't use PC emulators so I've not had a chance to try it yet, but it does sound brilliant.
For anyone who doesn't know, Goldeneye: X is a mod for the N64 game Goldeneye (duh!) currently in progress, and, in the words of thr authors:
GoldenEye: X is an enhanced version of the original GoldenEye 007 game for the Nintendo 64. It uses the Perfect Dark engine, which allows for new and exciting things not possible before. Here's just a few of these welcome features...
Voice-Overs:
If you're one of those people who don't like to read captions in games, than you'll be happy to know that voices are now supported. Instead of reading the conversations Bond has with other characters, you'll get to hear them. Doesn't that sound good?
Weather:
Not only can the sun or moon appear in the sky, it's also possible to trigger either rain or snow effects. This adds a whole new dimension to maps like the Surface.
Interactive Lighting:
Wasn't it a nice diversion running around the Bunker, shooting out all of the light fixtures? In GE:X, the lights can actually go out. This might make you think twice before entering the darkness.
Clipping & AI Sighting:
Your enemies now have the ability to see through and over railings, allowing them to send a wave of bullets your way. You know how great hiding behind railings was in a level like Caverns? You won't be so lucky this time around.
Cooperative & Counter-Operative Missions:
If playing through the missions wasn't fun enough, now you'll be able to have a friend join in. Whether they are there to assist you, or are there to stop you from reaching your goals, is entirely your decision.
Virtual Reality (Multiplayer):
Remember how amazing the multiplayer was in GoldenEye? Well, picture that same incredible gaming experience, but throw in up to eight computer controlled opponents. Better customization over the match options, great scenarios (including King of the Hill and Capture the Flag), your choice of head and body, music preferences, and more. About the only thing you can't do, is prevent your buddies from choosing Oddjob.
Where can you download GoldenEye: X? You can find the most recent public patches at the GoldenEye Vault website. If you aren't familiar with it already, here is the link...

and there's a forum for it at:

It's pretty fun, but some known issues:
-This game is a memory hog! Use 480p without AA
-Only for PJ64, 1964 will crash when loading multiplayer
-There is one major slowdown ingame, but the emu should level out
-Long pauses between gameplay and main menu
Using PJ64, Rice 5.60, JttL, HLE RSP.
Post by: weinerschnitzel on April 09, 2011, 08:55:00 PM
Ocarina of time works great in 720p and the fog fix makes 5.60 alot better, still cant use the lens of truth with it though.
Other than that you can use an RSP plugin to fix the static backgrounds.

I can only cover 108 roms...for now
I did my best with editing them.
I managed to upload one of my commercials, so here is a taste of my work:
Though a smaller screen resolution is preferable.....as it will obviously increase the quality of the commercial

Scorp316, can you also do the same with the commercials, please? I doubt I'll be using the commercials with Surreal, as I'd prefer gameplay videos, but I'd love to see the commercials for the games anyway.
And thanks to both of you, and to everyone else in any way connected to Surreal, for all of your trouble and hard work.
Yeah....I'm still trying to decide how I will be uploading the commercials. Don't know if I should do it through emuxtras' FTP, torrent, or on a certain website.
Btw...the folder is about 1.5 gbs, which contains 110 official N64 commercials
Some games don't have commercials...so gameplay videos will have to used for those particular games

I think torrent would be best, given the size. Just zip them up (with compression set to storage, as you won't get any level of compression worth having at all, since they are video files (and so are already compressed) so just use 'storage', which doesn't bother trying to compress them at all, just stores them all uncompressed in one .zip file) into one .zip file.
By the way, what program do you use to convert the video files to XBox format? What format do they need to be in?
Cbagy, have you uploaded the N64 gameplay videos?
Freakdave & co. - can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to this release! The high definition mode thing means nothing to me (I'm still an SD user), but aside from that I'm really keen to see this version. Checking this forum almost daily!

@ClockFace, untill the guys release this latest update to SurrealCE there won't be any links to video previews from me.
They have indeed been uploaded to EmuXtras FTP and will be available as soon as the emulator itself is released.
Same goes for the newer 3d BoxArt and BoxCarts and any skins that make use of the newer features.
Not far away now, a little more patience.
Great, thanks!

Yeah....I will put a link up on the wiki and EmuXtras for sure.
And I agree with Cbagy as well....regarding to the release of commercials
I'll see if I can put it up on a torrent...after the Surreal64 b5.5 release
Yet...i'm still searching for better quality commercials...hopefully i find more of them..
Btw...most of my commercials are US and a couple in Japanese (for Japanese N64 titles)
There are also different commercials in Japanese and other languages (like Pokemons Snap and Mario Kart 64) that can replace US ones....for those who speak a different language....but I might do this project later on...and also depends on the demand for them.
Cheers

I managed to get a N64 commercial for Super Robot Spirits....its looks very similar to that Transformers game.
I also found something interesting about the beta version of the next Jabo plugin for PJ64...
...too bad its not open-source though, so it can't be imported to the xbox..........but at least it will be available on PC version of PJ64 http://www.youtube.c...drec_grec_index

Speaking of Mario 64, any chance Surreal B5.5 will have support for more of its rom hacks? Perhaps these:
Super Mario 74 is the best one out now. Well, the 100 star 'demo' at least - the final game should have 150. Tried to get it working in B5.4 to no avail.
I've gotten Kaizo Mario 64 to work in Surreal, but I think it shares the same rom header that Mario 64 does.
Monochrome Mario 64, which was recently released.
And in the future:
Super Mario 64: The Star Road. Judging by the videos it should be the most polished of the SM64 mods when it comes out.
I would also love to see all the Goldeneye and Perfect Dark Hacks working. I have the problem of Surreal recognizing each hack as a completely separate game. I would like to see them all recognized as the same game. That way you don't have to beat the entire hacked rom to get to the point of the actual hack in the game. I've messed with it before for hours couldn't ever fully figure it out.

I play some games hack translated in english on xbox
But for this one :
"Take note that this is not a 'traditional' rom hack that is applied via IPS. I have used Rice's Texture Plugin to replace the images in a far more friendly manner."
For the moment the RICE TEXTURE PLUGIN is not suported on xbox
But BP is whowing some screenshot who he use it on xbox ...
But if i understand you must have a 128Mo xbox ... because it take many ram space
I think it can be possible too with VMemory ... the future will tel us

Let's try to keep the BP nonsense over at 1emu. We don't need to be distracted with it.
As for release, we were hoping for the end of the month. We don't really want to set a date and have somethings come up and have to push back another 6 months
It'll be worthwhile I think. Post by: yougottabecrazy on May 24, 2011, 03:01:00 PM

All you need to do is edit Surreal.ini to change romlist names and launcher settings. Most rom hacks will have a separate CRC unless they are byte swapped to have the original. Renaming roms from the launcher is a good idea, something for later though.

It'll be worthwhile I think.Your post wasn't here a couple hours ago when I last checked, but this is getting me excited. I hope all goes well for the team, and nothing gets pushed back another six months! (Although, it would make an awesome holiday present!) I'm excited to see how the code has cleaned up, thus far. And thank you for all the work you've all put in!

So all we'd have to do is copy and paste the section for, say, Goldeneye, in the surreal.ini file, and alter the CRC in the new copy of the surreal.ini file's Goldeneye data block?
