    Create ROMS-folder under the surreal-folder and put the roms there. They should show up when you start surreal.

    ok i read the surreal info... and it says i have to config the surreal.ini.... it says rom path= (what do i put here)

    i made a Roms file under surreal and to get to the place where i put the surreal folder you go from E>Apps>Emulators>Surreal 64>Roms... how would i type that so that the surreal.ini can read it and find the roms???

    I didn't have to change the ini-file at all. It's suppose to find the roms. I think you have to change the ini-file only if you but the roms somewhere else...

    where do you put your rom files?
    i put my emulator in a file called surreal 64 then i put that folder in my Emulator section. and in that folder i put a folder called roms. how did you set yours up?

    E:\emulators\surreal 64\ is where the emulator-files are and

    E:\emulators\surreal 64\roms is where the roms-files are.

    i'm having the same problem

    Surreal is in E:\Emulators\Surreal64
    There is a Roms folder at E:\Emulators\Surreal64\Roms

    nothing fancy or complicated
    i've changed the surreal.ini file to point to the correct rom folder, yet the roms do not show up when surreal is loaded, even after repeated refreshing.
    i've also changed the paths in the other .ini files, the ones for the individual emulators that surreal incorporates

    am i missing something really obvious here?
    like do i have to click on something else, is there another setting, or do the roms have to have a name with no spaces, or does it only support one type of rom? (i've got roms with .n64, .v64 and .bin extensions)

    I too am having a problem getting Surreal 64 to recognize the ROMs on my system... No matter where they are located. Was anyone able to resolve this issue?

    solved my problem by reading the Surreal 64 nfo file.
    bit of an obvious solution really, but the file wasn't included when i downloaded the emulator, i stumbled across it on a website when i was searching for help.

    what you have to do is open the Surreal.ini file and make sure the first 3 lines read as follows:

    [Settings]
    Rom Path=D:\Roms\
    Media Path=D:\Media\

    for some reason Surreal 64 works so that D:\ is the folder that the program is in.
    so for eg. if you have Surreal in E:\Emulators\Surreal64 and your roms in E:\Emulators\Surreal64\Roms, setting the rom path to D:\Roms makes it look in \Roms

    i think it works like this so you can run it regardless of which directory you have installed it to without changing the file manually. it might also be so it checks the hard drive directory and DVD-ROM drive together, so you can run more roms from a disk

    try that and see if it works, it solved the problem for me on 3 separate Xboxs

    first do what reddragon did above and if that doesn't work.

    go into you msdashboard and find surreal 64 in your memory and delete it. after you delete it turn your xbox off then on again.

    that should do it
