Surreal64xxx B6.0.CE svn-3-Jan-2010 - Nintendo64 emulator for XBOX 1



Surreal64xxx is a Nintendo64 emulator for the xbox. It works very well, is you use the proper Rice Video Plugin for each game, that you can select when loading the ROM. See compatibility list for details.

This is a compiled version from the subversion repository in sourceforge, based on the 6.0 branch. It is compiled and ready to be used, with the following changes:

- Compatibility list included.
- All the files (.ini, skins, and so on) are the same as the 5.1CE release, with exception of the xbe executables, and the Surreal.ini that uses Monkeys69 version.
- Includes the source code from subversion that has been used to build the release (although in the source there are the 5.2 and the 6.0 branches)
- Includes some Readme.txt files explaining how to compile from subversion or what mean the simbols on ROM's names.
- If you get some kind of error like "xbecopy: error X1001: Could not connect to Xbox" no worry about. It is just that you are not connected to the xbox.
- If you need to, rename Launcher.xbe to default.xbe

Xenocode Virtual Application Studio 2010 crashes or quits unexpectedly at startup

What to do if Xenocode Virtual Application Studio crashes without error or closes unexpectedly when you start it?

If the application quits unexpectedly without message, enable the Error Reporting:

 

  

 


Now try again to launch the Xenocode Virtual Application Studio to see if crashes.

It the Xenocode Virtual Application Studio crashes just when launching or says something about fusion.dll, probably it is because of .NET Frameworks. Try to remove all of them deeply with dotnetf cleanup tool.
