    I have xbox media center, I want to install nintendo 64 emulator and roms (007 goldeneye). I have downloaded and transfered surreal 64 to xbox, didn't have a roms folder so I made one, I have a bunch of roms I downloaded for project 64 on my PC which won't even transfer to the xbox. what am I doing wrong? will any "rom" run with any emulator, or do I have to use roms for surreal, if so where do I find them?

    I have fceUltra on there which works! just cant get 64 emulator to work,

    The trick to roms on the xbox is keeping the names the same as the surreal.ini file. Usually you can just make a folder and zip it, and if it's under 1 gig it will zip. If you rar it the xbox won't see it correctly for some reason. Just ftp the zipped folder to your xbox. Then unzip the folder on your xbox in the roms directory and then delete your huge zipped folder. Load surreal 64 and press the Y button. Everything should show up for you. There are a couple games that don't work. A lot of the J (japan) games don't work and the E games don't work. I've got 300 roms reconized.

    Here's a previous post on how the naming system is setup.
