= How to use =

# Run xenia if you haven't before.
# [https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/1784.windows-how-to-view-file-name-extensions.aspx Show file name extensions in Explorer].
# Go to <code>Documents\Xenia</code> and open <code>xenia.config.toml</code> in a text editor like [https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/ Notepad++].
#* If a <code>portable.txt</code> file is present in the same directory as xenia.exe it will be in the same directory as xenia.exe.
#* Per-game configs go in <code>config\TitleID.config.toml</code>.
# For launchers/frontends like [https://github.com/quinton-ashley/bottlenose Bottlenose] you can use the <code>--config</code> launch parameter to specify what config to use.
#* To launch specific games, add the path to the game before the launch options. For example: <code>xenia.exe path/to/game/default.xex --vsync=false</code>

==== Render target path ====

[https://github.com/xenia-project/xenia/wiki/FAQ#what-is-rov What is ROV (rasterizer-ordered views)?]

Leave this option blank for auto-selection.

| RTV ''(recommended for speed)''
| <code>rtv</code>
|-
