### How do I dump/extract my games?
|
||||
The recommended method is to insert your game disk into a modded Xbox and directly transfer the files off the disc via FTP (usually in the /D/ directory) using a program such as [FileZilla](https://filezilla-project.org/) or [WinSCP](https://winscp.net/). Ensure the disc is clean and your Xbox's DVD drive is in working order.

That is the most straightforward method, though there are methods that make more complete dumps, such as using a [special drive flashed with 'Kreon' firmware](http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Microsoft_Xbox_and_Xbox_360_Dumping_Guide).

Games that don't natively support widescreen require widescreen hacks. There are many ways of doing this:

* Patching the game's .xbe (xbox executable). This can be done automatically with [OgXHD](http://bmkeyscom.ipage.com/marvelousmirth/ogxhd.html), or manually with a hex editor like [HxD](https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/). Values, etc for manual patching can be found here:

### What are the LLE options for? Should I enable them?
|
||||
LLE stands for [Low Level Emulation](https://github.com/Cxbx-Reloaded/Cxbx-Reloaded/wiki/Overview-of-the-project-&-Glossary-of-terms#lle).
|
||||
|
||||
As of [582b39e](https://github.com/Cxbx-Reloaded/Cxbx-Reloaded/commit/582b39e3c7531845af966263ae768cddb56a4218) only LLE GPU (using [XQEMU](http://xqemu.org) code) is implemented.

|
||||
|
||||
This option will emulate the Xbox's NV2A GPU hardware using OpenGL instead of passing Xbox DirectX calls to DirectX.

|
||||
|
||||
While it may provide more accurate results, it is currently much slower than the default HLE approach, and for this reason the corresponding option in the GUI has been disabled in PR [#1761](https://github.com/Cxbx-Reloaded/Cxbx-Reloaded/pull/1761) (although it may still be enabled by writing 0x2 in the Cxbx-Reloaded setting file).
|
||||
Its slowness is not inherent to LLE, but the way it is currently integrated in Cxbx-Reloaded.
|
||||
|
||||
As of PRs [#1365](https://github.com/Cxbx-Reloaded/Cxbx-Reloaded/pull/1365) and [#1532](https://github.com/Cxbx-Reloaded/Cxbx-Reloaded/pull/1538), LLE USB (using [XQEMU](http://xqemu.org) code) is completely implemented but cannot be enabled, due to timing issues when connecting more than one controller to the virtual Xbox. Enabling this option will emulate the underlying USB hardware of the Xbox instead of intercepting XInput function calls.

This adds support for system-link play. This feature is enabled by default, but must be configured.

Due to a lack of kernel emulation in those projects, you will need ROM files from a physical Xbox. Cxbx-Reloaded is easier to use, because it has kernel emulation and does not require these files.
