So i have mameox on my xbox and decided to try a few of the other available emulators.

I downloaded large rom packs and some come with only rar files containing iso files.

I am used to downloading only .zip roms that i can just ftp into the mameox rom folder.

so my question is how do i get these .rar files onto my xbox?

Hi,

As far as I'm aware most of the emu's can only read the rom files or zip files.

You will to download winrar to extract the rom files then ftp them to the xbox.

Winrar generally has better compression and compatibility than winzip and as such is quite comonly used for larger files.

Hope that helps !

hmmm that is the problem.

i have winrar and i use it to extract files from the downloaded .rar files, however all it opens is a .iso file. there is no .zip files in those folders.

do i need to copy everyone of those iso files to a disk?
or is there a way for them to be ftp to my xbox?

Hi

it sounds as though you donwloaded a complete set, several rars which should then extract to a single ISO file.

You can burn the ISO directly to a CD using nero or similar or you can extract the contents of the iso file using magic iso or similar and then ftp the files.

Hope that helps clear things up a bit m8.

Let me know if you need more help.

ok I figured out several of the packs but I am having trouble with the N64 packs. I downloaded all of the .rar files and then unpacked number 1 this opened them all up into a folder and all the file types are .usa I can not seem to get surreal to recognize these when i ftp them straight into the rom folder on the box.

I cant seem to get these to change to .zip

what do you think i should do or change?

Hi

You will need to check your settings for Surreal, I had to change the rom path in my .ini files as the default pointed to the d:\

Easiest way is to FTP into the box copy the .ini files I think the surreal.ini is the only one you need to change, copy this to your pc open with notepad or similar text editor and change the rom paths.

Dead easy once you look at the file.

Hope that helps m8, if not post back and let me know where you have installed surreal on the box and i'll upload an edited file for you.
