    I have Surreal 64 installed on my xbox, and I've transferred a few .v64 roms into the folder e:\apps\emulators\n64\roms\ (this is where the put roms here.txt file was located), and the roms aren't showing up when I restart my xbox and load up surreal 64. I've tried going back and removing all spaces and apostrophes out of the filenames of the roms, but that is not the problem, as they still won't show up. The SNES roms work fine so I know that file transferring and all of that is working correctly. I just can't get the roms to show up in the emulator. What could the problem be?

    Thanks in advance :)

    Yes, the phrase "loading roms list" shows up for a nanosecond (I cant only see it if I hit the refresh button many times in a row just to see what it says) and nothing happens. No roms.

    Go in /E/TDATA/a64fea57/Surreal.ini and edit the rompath to the right directory. It should say something like Rom Path=D:\Roms\ or something similar, just change that to e:\apps\emulators\n64\roms\ and save it. Reboot again and click refresh, should work now.

    Wow this topic is over a year old!!!

    Anyways

    - Extract the archive to a directory on your computer.
    - Either burn the emulator to DVD or copy it your HDD
    - IMPORTANT! You must set the rom path in Surreal.ini before
    you use the emulator.
    * If your roms are on a DVD then use A:. eg. A:\ROMS\
    * If your roms are on your xbox's hdd then use E:,F: or G:. eg. F:\ROMS\
    * If your roms and emulator are on the DVD or the roms are in the path
    where you installed the emulator use D:. eg. D:\ROMS\
    - Launch default.xbe using your dashboard of choice.

    The rice video plugin is what you set it on to make the game show it's picture. Try each of the three different plugins seperately and one will work.

    the nintendo 64 is too complicated to make it work i made a super nintendo work and it works great of a cd-R.

    the rice thing is too complicated i'll stick to the super nes and the sega genesis.

    does anyone know how to play mpeg and avi files on an xbox of a cd or dvd???

    1. No, only on the computer.
    2. We aren't allowed to say, that is why you use google.
