You probably still have the original bigTeX .fmt-files (of the
non-Beta-Version), which are not compatible with emTeX386. Either get
the Beta-Version of bigTeX or simply recreate the .fmt files in
\emtex\btexfmts: (replace "btex -i"  by "tex386 -i" in fmt.cmd and
then run fmt.cmd, this should in fact do the job).
