### Project Origin
|

|
||||
The project began when I ([@benvanik](https://twitter.com/benvanik)) was between
|
||||
jobs and wanted to hack on something fun. I'd picked up some region-locked
|
||||
Japanese games when I was visiting Tokyo and was frustrated I couldn't play them

### Why?
|

|

Because it's fun!

|

### Future Plans
|

|

None! There's a [roadmap](../wiki/roadmap), but the project has largely achieved what

I set out for it to do (waste time building something cool), and now is purely a
|
||||
passion project in my spare time. In addition to getting some of my favorite
|
||||
games to play I'm really just hacking to have fun.

# Does Xenia run on Linux or macOS?

The project is designed to support non-Windows platforms but until it's running
|

games it's not worth the maintenance burden. MacOS will likely remain unsupported

until Apple supports Vulkan.
