Surreal 64 - how good

[Sandman]

Just found out that this N64 Emulator has been released for the X-Box. (I know, it's probably been out for ages!!)
Has anyone tried it, and if so, just how good/crap is it?
Does it do a passable "Goldeneye"?

Most the main games emulate 95% perfectly, goldeneye runs very well

hi, i've had a quick go on it and mario 64 and mario kart 64 both seem to run at allmost fullspeed
it doesn't do perfect dark and conkers bad fur day. not tried it with anymore games though.
i hear it is a very early stage of development though so it can only get better

conkers works on it, i was playing it today, there was a few issues with transparency..... you have to try it across the different 3 emulator engines that surreal64 uses..... mario64 is crap on the default (the 3rd one), but runs nicely on the 1st one I find

just tried conkers with all 3 emus and none worked
have i got the old version or somthing?

[Sandman]

Thanks guys - that's another emu to grab then!

Can you run it from CD-RWs or do you have to download it onto your hard-drive (I run all my emus from CD-RWs, not having technical competence or confidence to stick everything on my Box's HD)

[AllYourBase]

I run it from the hard drive, if it didnt work off the CDR then you could always use boxplorer to copy the emu and roms onto the hard drive..... just be sure to edit the surreal.ini file to make the file path points to the place where you put your roms

I think it can be a bit hit or miss with some games esp conkers, as it runs fine on my box and not at all on my mates even with changing some of the settings and he has the same evox set up etc

What settings do you use for Goldeneye?

I've tried it with all 3 Surreal plug-ins and it runs as slow as hell on my Xbox.

Goldeneye does run OK (I think I used the Project 64 plug-in, it may also depend on the region of Goldeneye your running). But not '95% perfect emulation' also it's quite difficult to aim because of the nature of the Xbox control stick (too sensitive). Some games run almost perfect such as Mario 64, Pilotwings, Banjo Kazooie and Diddy Kong Racing.
