How to Work Nintendo 64 Games on an Xbox

The Microsoft Xbox is the company&'s first 3D gaming console, allowing players to enjoy a wide variety of titles designed for the machine. However, if your console has been professionally modified to play homebrew (amateur-created) software, it&'s possible to increase the amount of titles available for your machine by downloading emulation programs. One such program is Surreal64, a Nintendo 64 emulator that lets you turn your Xbox into an N64 and enjoy that machine&'s range of titles.

Things You'll Need

Mod-chipped Xbox
CD-R or FTP software

Instructions

- 1
  Download Surreal64 from the site in Resources and double-click the file to unzip.
- 2
  Place ROM files in the "ROMS" directory of the unzipped "Surreal64" folder. If you don&'t have any Nintendo 64 ROMs, these can be downloaded from the site in Resources.
- 3
  Open the software you use to load software to your Xbox. If you use an FTP program, connect to your Xbox using this software; if you load software on your console using CDs, boot the software you use to make Xbox CDs and burn all files in the "Surreal64" directory to an Xbox-compatible CD-R. Your FTP or CD-creation software should have been provided when you had the Xbox modified, but both types of software can be downloaded from the site in Resources.

  Turn on your Xbox and insert your Surreal64 CD if necessary. Launch "Surreal64" from the "Games" section of your system dashboard.

  Use the console&'s D-pad to navigate between ROM games available on your console. Press "B" to launch games, and control in-game action using your console&'s D-pad, analog sticks and action buttons.
