Omg guys I am seriously FED UP with it NOT playing my games.
I have put my roms in a folder called Roms in my E drive in xbox. in my Surreal.ini file I have set the rom path to E. It shows up my games. No matter WHAT I do it does NOT let me play the games. After done loading, it just gives me a blank frigging screen. OMG. I musta tried about 10 times for everygame. I have tried Changing Max memory, changing all the paging stuff ( i just made them higher) and STILL I cant play ANY of them. I have even changed the sound plugin. Still, nothing. I even have renamed all my roms so there are NO caplocks and NO spaces. STILL! I have even tried the 5 mb other surreal. No help. ARGH. What is WRONG with this. Anyone whos surreals ACTUALLY works can they tell me what they did in the surreal.ini and exactly how they set up everyhting?
Full Version: Omg Fed Up With Surreal
I know what you mean as mine does the exact same thing, not sure what to do.
Games can have unusually long waiting times, try waiting at max 5 minutes. Also you can select 1 of 3 emulators some run certain games better. Play around with some stuff.
yea, that above link will solve all your problems... if it doesnt, then post, only after reading it.
click this for surreal game compatability list
that will show you what emulator to choose.

Are your roms good? Try downloading Surreal64 for the pc and see if your roms are good. Ive downloaded some bad dumps before 
Well, I think that the problem is caused by the bios.
Is the only thing that everyone not has tried.

I never do that thing and I don't know if it works.
But is very wierd that a lot of people has this problem.
Its because they're using the geuex.net version. Download the one that only says Surreal 1.0 and not the one that says Geuex.net in its file name

Your perhaps thinking of the newer MAMEoX releases ; ) Surreal has a progress bar the instant it tries to load, and shouldnt take more than 10 seconds for the larger (64mb) roms.
Just put your roms in a 'roms' folder inside your surreal64 installation folder on your xbox. Put the original surreal.ini file back in there, delete your saves and reload.
ok listen guys. I READ that 28 page post about surreal none of it helped. Im using the original 1.0 Surreal. NOT the 5mb one. I load the actual emulator from disc and load the games from hardrive. No matter how much crap tweaking I do it just stays at that stupid blank screen.
Why not have the emu on the hdd as well?

getting pissed isnt going to solve your probloms... be patient... and retrace all your steps man.
you are SURE YOU ARE DELETING THE SURREAL64 SAVE SPOT FROM YOUR SAVE GAMES? becaise if not, then none of this will matter really.
also, did you take the advice and try the rom on a pc emulator and get it to work?
i dont know anything else that could work, besides trying a game that you know works, on all three emulators, with these settings here
using this compatability list here
after all that is done... and still nothing, and uninstalling the save data, and reinstalling using DEFAULT settings.ini and puttings the roms folder INSIDE THE SURREAL FOLDER (surreal/roms) ....
then i dont know.
edit: what bios are you using? what dash?
none of this worked 
im using avalaunch, and using the 4982.06

Yeah, YOU solved it, no thanx to the pesky people in here.
IRIEZ - I almost wet myself when I read your sig(the forum-security-guard-man). now THAT's funny. btw, did you think of that yourself or did eviltrix write it for you?

Someone called him out on being a security guard in some other thread, so i combined that with the budweiser? commercial sayings "This ones to you new-advert-here-man"
I have however, been waiting a *very* long time (2 years mind you) to get a good enough excuse to put cartman as my avatar. It was a toss up of awesom-o or cartman-hitler.
ShumS: explain in a *very* detailed manner as to what exactly the problem was and how you fixed it. The whole point of these threads is to help other people with similar problems aswell.
I'd be willing to bet he just copied the emualtor from the disk to the HDD.
