How to setup Surreal 64 w/ ROMs

[thrash]

Hey everybody, do you know why I cant upload some of my N64 roms with SmartFTP? One out of four of my Legend of Zelda roms are able to upload, the others just wont upload. Using IE it gives this error:

The log for my SmartFTP is as follows:

Im using EvoX dashboard and everything else works just fine.


Its really wierd, some roms transfer, some dont. The same goes for my NES roms.

[drfweega]

Remove the comma, and shorten the name to less then 42 characters including the extension. Then re-transfer it.

EDIT: Here is a good application to do all of your ROMs at once.

[thrash]

Thanks soo much! It's working now.

Are there any other characters or such that are dissallowed?

[drfweega]

No, but I would download that application and tell it the location of your roms and then rename them all. It would take a lot less time then doing it all by yourself. Especially if you have a lot

[thrash]

Thanks a bunch, I have a huge supply of roms, so this would be very helpful.

Also, do you know where I can get the surreal64 emulator aside from Xbins (doesnt seem to be working) because the one I ripped from your auto-installer doesnt want to load itself.

-edit-
Hmm, when I put that file exe into one of my ROM directorys that has each rom stored in a different folder, it gives me a runtime error when I try to run it: Runtime Error '380': Invalid property value. Going through each folder in a 913 folder directory would hurt. Is there a batch converter that would work the way this one wont?

[drfweega]

Hmm, did you try deleting all your cache folders? E:\Cache X:\ Y:\ Z:\ E:\TDATA\a64fea57\

I'll get you a link.. give me sec.

EDIT: See if this works.

Here's a link to all those type of apps - http://xbox-scene.com/tools/tools.php?page=managers

Here's a newer version of FatX Renamer

[thrash]

YES! It works, the proggy launches. How long does it typically take to launch a ROM? seems all the roms freeze at loading rom.

Also: the new FatX Renamer works like a dream, thanks.

[drfweega]

Well it will usually go through 1% 25% 50% 75% 100% depending on how big the rom is. I would suspect that you got it running okay now though. If you need any more help just ask.

[thrash]

Yeah, it works, but to launch any of my roms it takes about 4 minutes >.>

I think it might just be my EvoX dash (I prefer UX), I was reading somewhere that EvoX uses a bigger amount of memory and processing power when launching Surreal64 from the dash.

I have one question though, if I make a new HDD (either 40-80gb) will I have to reinstall all my emulaters or can I just copy the directory over, and will I be able to use it again later if I format it?

[drfweega]

Well you can keep all your Apps, Emus, and Homebrew games if you copy them to your PC via FTP, or you can copy them all and burn them to a launchable DVD for the Xbox. If you upgrade your Xbox HDD you will always have to copy over those directories which would take a long time especially if you have 4000 little files.

[thrash]

Yeah, I figured that out the hard way. Would increasing the amount of workers in smartftp increase the speed? Seems like it would.

[drfweega]

I don't know. It's worth a shot.

[chasm]

ok so i have a rom for legend of zelda ocarina of time and i cant even transfer it onto flashfxp. i got it from here

http://www.emuparadise.org/roms/n64/z/

how do i fix it?

[Kyla666 (zzk2001)]

the Text in Any file Must Be 40 or Less  to transfer to Xbox

( if the games is called this then it will Not transfer)
ifagameiscalledthisthenitwillnottransfer.zip

(But this Will)
Butthiswill.zip

See what i am saying
 
Remeber the .zip  or whatever it is,  Is part Of the Name To

[chasm]

oooohhh ok thanks a lot. i downloaded like 500000++++ different roms and none would work lol. i was about to give up. thanks
