Basically already have the above , just after some help actually putting them to dvd-r . Do i just need to unrar the emu and put the roms in the same folder or is it not as easy as that ?. I dont want them to be ftp to my hd either .

Any help would be great

If I remember rightly, you create a directory called ROMS in the same dir as Surreal, then copy your roms into the ROMs dir. You then edit the ini file with surreal to set up the path for the roms. I used d:\roms so it'd play from the dvd

Well you could read the nfo ;):


- Extract the archive to a directory on your computer.
- Either burn the emulator to DVD or copy it your HDD
- IMPORTANT! You must set the rom path in Surreal.ini before
you use the emulator.
* If your roms are on a DVD then use A:. eg. A:\ROMS\
* If your roms are on your xbox's hdd then use E:,F: or G:. eg. F:\ROMS\
* If your roms and emulator are on the DVD or the roms are in the path
where you installed the emulator use D:. eg. D:\ROMS\
- Launch default.xbe using your dashboard of choice.

open surreal.ini in notepad

edit the line beginning "rom path=" to what ever the config you hope to use, from the excerpt of the nfo posted above

i personally wouldn't burn the emulator it self to disc- put it on the hd somehwere that way when the new version comes out you aren't gonna have to reburn a dvd- the roms aren't gonna change but the emulator may improve
