First I reinstalled the Emu from ZXBinstaller v2.3, then created the roms folder on the E: partition, then I just make sure the ini folder of the Emu (wich name is SURREAL64 XXX)got the correct path for the unrar roms (don't know if it's vital to unrar or not, i just did it), the correct path should be E:/emulators/surreal64xxx/roms; that oughta do the trick.. if not.. just ask again.. no sweat.

Allright, I really want to play some N64 games over my xbox. Now I allready have Surreal64 on my xbox and it loads up and everything, but where the hell do I put the Roms in? I don't see a roms folder or anything close to it. Do I need to have specific type roms from a site that work over this xbox emulator? I am completly new to emulating, so could someone try to explain what to do on where to put the roms at? BTW I have UnleashedX, if that matters.

ok, first U have to create the roms subfolder in the surreal64 folder, I don't if this is important but I'd unrar the files before I burned onto a DVD (talking 'bout waste of space huh), alongside with some others roms for SNES, SEGA GENESIS, GAMEBOY ADVANCE & COLOR, SOME MAME too, BUT I didn't unrared(???)the other roms. Ohh.. almost forgot, I'd erase the subfolder media (media.ini in some EMU's), after that it worked perfectly. Anyway as a last resort try to reinstall the emu from the installer disk (shouldn't matter which one you're installing) and then try the stuff explain above.Don't worry I'm new at this S****t also and if I didn't screwed up my xbox is more likely that won't either. Best of luck.
For chuman88: You should copy the roms into a subfolder in whatever partition (E:/ or C:/) you'd install the emulator folder(SurrealN64 that is)., I don't know for sure but I think is not possible to run the EMU's from the DVD drive (considering U want to save your progress that is) ohh that is another little detail.. when I burned a CD-R it didn't worked so try a DVD instead.

Actually I copied the rom files directly into the Rom's Folder from the DVD I burned them on. I used the xbox explorer (the one in the installer that is).... and no problem.. but FYI I unrared all the rom first !!!!, good luck :)

how come every time I go to boXplorer it never shows any of the files on my DVD. What is the best way to copy files from the DVD to the harddrive?

Augboy try up the following: First unrar all the files U're going to burn onto the dvd (DVD-R) then burn it as a data disc (I use Nero for that but I think that isn't important, any software should do it)and close the disk (cause boxplorer doesn't like multisession discs) that should do the trick.. Good Luck

To Augboy: don't worry about the speed, downside of the emulator is that every single game run pretty slow.. don't know why.. guess is a matter of emu coding... only god knows
To huskies7: try the following, download it using a torrent client (bitcomet, Azureus, anyone you like)some even have roms attached in the same file..other is you just google the SOB emu then burn it into a dvd (maybe U should try several emu's..for the 4Gb space I mean)
good luck everyone...

ok well....i found the emulator but i have some bad news. i think when i was ftping my box, i deleted one of the files on the c drive or i moved a file to somewhere else. now when i turn on my xbox it goes to this screen that says my xbox needs service, and it says it in many different languages. its an error 21, and i know that error 21 means that its anywhere in the xbox, and it usually occurs when doing something wrong when ftp'ing. now what my problem is that i can ftp to my xbox anymore. i know what my IP address for my xbox is, but everytime i try to connect it, it says that the connection was refused. does anybody have a clue on how to fix this? i have tried the van hesling dvd, like somebody else said, and ive also tried slayers, and i think ive burned about 10 copies of it. everytime i put it in, error 21 comes up, no matter what i do. help would be much appreciated, because ive been working on this for about 2 weeks now, and i havent gotten anywhere. somebody please help me!

to huskies7, sorry dude but my kowledge of the xbox only goes so far.. is a dammed shame but I think you're going to need more specialiazed help than the kind I can provide. You should try other threads for your problem or start one yourself... same thing I did when started this one.

to mughugger, PAL the dashboard issue easy just install it again.. that's in case you have a modded console otherwise sorry... can't help you, as far as the memory thing ... deleted data remains deleted...sorry once more..ohhh and when I say modded is softmod o hardware mod it doesn't make any diference at all.

Well good luck to you all and hope can fix these problems ...

rhanazgul thanks for all the help. i should have listened to you from the beginning, and burned it to a dvd. that way i wouldnt have messed with my xbox and i wouldnt be in this problem. i guess ur right and i should try to start a new thread. if you can find anything about this, please send another reply, but if you cant, thanks anyway. youve been a great help. i noticed that my xbox can play actual games that arent burned, and i know the IP address to it, but everytime i try to ftp, it says connection refused. do you of any game that automatically restores the dashboard or anything so i can fix this? anybody? if you can, thanks.

Surreal 64 problem.. Ok, I've been suffering the same problem as most people. Now I fixed mine differently.
My surreal 64 setup is setup up in my F:/Apps/Emulators/Surreal64
I also have a E drive where saved files are kept.
I set the surreal64 ini files as so:
Rom Path=D:\Roms\
Media Path=D:\Media\
Then save that and transfer that file back to the xbox. I then went back to the E:/ and located the tdata. In that folder was a folder with "a64fea57". Inside was 2 files and another surreal64 ini file. I deleted that folder and rebooted the xbox. I started up the emu again and it worked, all the roms showed up and had no problems. The folder I erased in the E:/ was replaced when I started the emulator and 2 more files were added. I guess it fixed itself. Try doing that. Gryph

Ok here is my setup. I had a friend at work hook me up with avalaunch for xbox and a bunch of emulators one of them being surreal 64. When I go to play roms all I get is "loading roms..." in white on the screen and then nothing happens. My roms are all there but they none will ever load. Keep in mind I just have my xbox to work with what do I need to do to get the roms to load? Thanks.

Well, I deleted avalaunch from mine, but if you are running surreal 64 from your emulator, the emulator should show up as surreal 64 and a little toadstool character should be on the screen along with the blue format screen with some menus. On the bottom right is a icon that you should press, and that will refresh your roms on the list. Make sure that your roms are in the roms folder in the surreal64 folder in the ROMS folder. These games or roms should have the .v64 after the rom name. If they are not, I'd advise you to change it to that extension. Then run the rom again.
