# System Requirements
|
|
|
|
* Windows 7+ for Vulkan, Windows 10 for D3D12 (Linux/macOS not *natively* supported)
|
|
* Runs on Linux with Wine.
|
|
* 64-bit x86 processor with AVX support
|
|
* You can check with [CPU-Z](https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html)
|
|
* Vulkan compatible GPU from [this list](https://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/) or a D3D12 compatible GPU.
|
|
* [2017/2019 x64 Visual C++ Redistributable](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads)
|
|
|
|
Xenia doesn't require any Xbox 360 system files.
|
|
|
|
Xenia will check for the minimum supported CPU and GPU on startup and error out
|
|
if one is not detected. Make sure that you have the latest drivers installed. **You cannot just remove the checks in the code and assume things will work.**
|
|
|
|
Windows Update tends to lag behind, so download GPU drivers from your manufacturer:
|
|
|
|
* **[AMD](https://www.amd.com/en/support)**
|
|
* **[NVIDIA](https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx)**
|
|
* **[Intel](https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/80939/Graphics-Drivers)**
|
|
|
|
The D3D12 renderer is currently unoptimized so expect low FPS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Where do I download Xenia?
|
|
* **[Master](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/benvanik/xenia/artifacts/xenia-master.zip?branch=master&job=Configuration:%20Release&pr=false)**
|
|
|
|
Xenia is sometimes detected as a virus. Ignore this, as it is a false positive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### **YOU CANNOT PLAY GAMES DIRECTLY FROM THE DISC DRIVE!**
|
|
|
|

### Section 3. Importing games for use in Xenia
|
|
|
|
1. Insert the USB drive into your PC. Go to `Content`.
|
|
|
|
If the USB drive appears empty enable *[Show hidden files and folders](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14201/windows-show-hidden-files)* in Windows Explorer.
|
|
|
|
2. Go into `00000#`. There will be folders with names consisting of lots of letters and numbers. You should find the game's folder within one of them.
|
|
3. The game will have a name with a bunch of letters and numbers just like the folders, and no file extension.
|
|
|
|
* XBLA games will be one file, GOD (disc) games will contain a file, along with a *.data folder with the same name.
|
|
* *ContentCache.pkg is irrelevant. Ignore it.*
|
|
|
|
4. To confirm that it is indeed a game try opening the file with Velocity.
|
|
5. Once you've made sure the file opens in Velocity and works in Xenia you can rename, or move the folder the game is in for convenience.
|
|
|
|
* **FOLDER ABOVE, NOT FILE or *.DATA FOLDER!**
|
|
|
|
* (Optional) If the game crashes you can try extracting the game using Velocity.
|
|
* If the game is extracted you will need to drag `default.xex` onto Xenia.
|
|
* Some games have multiple .xex files, so if you can't find `default.xex` or it just doesn't work, try another one.
|
|
|
|
|
|

# How to run games in full/activated mode on Xenia
|
|
|
|
***By default Xenia runs ALL XBLA/digital games in demo/trial mode.***
|
|
|
|
To run games in full/activated mode you need to change `license_mask = 0` to `-1` in `xenia.config.toml`.
|
|
|
|
It will be in `Documents\Xenia` by default. If `portable.txt` is present it will be in the same directory as xenia.exe. |
