Your MCPX and BIOS dump should be for a 1.0 Xbox. It's suggested that your MCPX dump be 1.0 and that a compatible BIOS image be used (users have reported success with "COMPLEX 4627").
#### Q: Do I need to have an EEPROM file?
A default one will be used if you do not provide one.
A default one will be created if you do not provide one.
#### Q: Why am I getting "The guest has not initialized the display"
#### Q: Why am I getting `The guest has not initialized the display`
This is likely due to a mismatch of MCPX and BIOS images, or a corrupt MCPX boot ROM.
#### Q: Why am I getting "Please insert an Xbox disc..."? I already loaded an ISO.
#### Q: Why am I getting `Please insert an Xbox disc...`? I already loaded an ISO.
Try restarting xemu. If you continue to get the message, your ISO may not be dumped in a compatible way. Try using `extract-xiso` to pack your ISO.
#### Q: Is there a game compatibility list?
@ -22,17 +24,14 @@ Yes, visit https://xemu.app
#### Q: Does game `x` work?
Possibly. Check the compatibility list first if you're curious, or try it out for yourself. You are invited to submit a compatibility report too.
#### Q: Does xemu run my game's default.xbe?
#### Q: Does xemu run my game's `default.xbe`?
No, not directly. xemu emulates the hardware of the system, so you'll need to have a disc image of your game backup. You can use [extract-xiso](https://github.com/xboxdev/extract-xiso) or qwix to create an image.
#### Q: Does xemu support "redump" style ISOs?
No, not yet. You can however convert a redump style ISO to a compatible ISO. More info [here](<https://github.com/mborgerson/xemu/wiki#about-redump-isos>).
#### Q: Why am I getting an "Assertion failed!" message when running xemu?
#### Q: Why am I getting an `Assertion failed!` message?
When a game exercises a piece of code in xemu that has not yet been implemented or verified, xemu will `assert` which forces execution to stop. The reason for this is that anything happening beyond that point may be unpredictable and significantly increase the debugging burden.
#### Q: Is sound working? I can't hear anything
Not yet, but it will be ready soon.
#### Q: I've found a bug, what do I do?
