How do I use Xenia?
Refer to the Quickstart page.
Does Xenia run on Linux or macOS?
Not natively, but Xenia might run with Wine on Linux.
macOS requires MoltenVK support which isn't implemented in Xenia.
Troubleshooting
Make sure:
- You're not using outdated or invalid launch parameters.
- You downloaded a Release build, not a Checked one.
Saves are broken in a majority of games, especially ones with user profile saves.
As for saves, etc that worked previously in older builds of Xenia, create a text file in the same directory as xenia.exe named portable.txt.
Saves are in Documents\xenia\content by default.
If you're having problems with the Halo games make sure that you're using a D3D12 build and your GPU supports it.
Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary does not work.
Xenia is a work in progress so expect issues.
How do I dump/rip games?
Refer to the guide in Quickstart.
Why is my game in trial/demo mode?
By default Xenia runs ALL XBLA/digital games in demo/trial mode.
To run games in full/activated mode you will have to compile Xenia with mask_ptr = 0xFFFFFFFF instead of 0.
Does game X run?
Check the compatibility list. If it's not there, ask in the Discord #help channel or test it yourself.
Asking for a game to be fixed won't get it fixed any faster.
Can Xenia run OG (original) Xbox games?
Xenia does not support OG Xbox games/BC (backwards compatibility).
For that there's Cxbx-Reloaded and xqemu.
Can Xenia play games online with Xbox Live?
No. Xenia will never connect to official Xbox Live servers. Custom servers are a possibility, but won't happen anytime soon.
Input
Xenia natively supports XInput controllers, which includes but is not limited to:
- Xbox 360 Controller
- Xbox One Controller
For non-XInput controllers, wrapper(s) will have to be used:
You can use the mouse to control the analog/joysticks, and rebind the keyboard controls with x360ce.
Default keyboard layout (click to expand)
Xbox 360 accessories like the Kinect are not supported.
How do I check my FPS?
With an FPS indicator like Rivatuner.
Options
For all of Xenia's options, refer to the Options page.
What's the difference between Gameplay and Playable?
Gameplay means the game reaches gameplay, even if the game is unplayable.
Build tweaks
4:3
To play games in 4:3 you need to build Xenia with video_mode->is_widescreen = 0 instead of 1 here.
