Xenia - Xbox 360 Emulator Research Project
|
|
==========================================
|
|
|
|
Xenia is an experimental emulator for the Xbox 360. For more information see the
|
|
[main xenia website](http://xenia.jp/).
|
|
|
|
Pull requests are welcome but the code is in a very high churn state and may not
|
|
be accepted, so ask in IRC before taking on anything big. Contributions are
|
|
awesome but the focus of the developers is on writing new code, not teaching
|
|
programming or answering questions. If you'd like to casually help out it may
|
|
be better to wait a bit until things calm down and more of the code is documented.
|
|
|
|
Come chat with us **about development topics** in
|
|
[#xenia @ irc.freenode.net](http://webchat.freenode.net?channels=%23xenia&uio=MTE9NzIaa).
|
|
Please check the [frequently asked questions](http://xenia.jp/faq/) page before
|
|
asking questions. We've got jobs/lives/etc, so don't expect instant answers.
|
|
Discussing illegal activities will get you banned. No warnings.

**Before contributing code or issues be sure to read [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).**

Some real games run. Most don't. Don't ask if GTA or whatever runs.

## Disclaimer
|
|
|
|
The goal of this project is to experiment, research, and educate on the topic
|
|
of emulation of modern devices and operating systems. **It is not for enabling
|
|
illegal activity**. All information is obtained via reverse engineering of
|
|
legally purchased devices and games and information made public on the internet
|
|
(you'd be surprised what's indexed on Google...).
|
|
|
|
## Quickstart
|
|
|
|
Windows 8.1+ with Python 2.7 and [Visual Studio 2015](https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs) and the Windows SDKs installed:
|
|
|
|
> git clone https://github.com/benvanik/xenia.git
|
|
> cd xenia
|
|
> xb setup
|
|
|
|
# Pull latest changes, rebase, and update submodules and premake:
|
|
> xb pull
|
|
|
|
# Build on command line:
|
|
> xb build
|
|
|
|
# Run premake and open Visual Studio (run the 'xenia-app' project):
|
|
> xb devenv
|
|
|
|
# Run premake to update the sln/vcproj's:
|
|
> xb premake
|
|
|
|
# Format code to the style guide:
|
|
> xb format
|
|
|
|
When fetching updates use `xb pull` to automatically fetch everything and
|
|
run premake for project files/etc.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
See [building.md](building.md) for setup and information about the
|
|
`xb` script. When writing code, check the [style guide](style_guide.md)
|
|
and be sure to run clang-format!
|
|
|
|
## Contributors Wanted!
|
|
|
|
Have some spare time, know advanced C++, and want to write an emulator?
|
|
Contribute! There's a ton of work that needs to be done, a lot of which
|
|
is wide open greenfield fun.
|
|
|
|
Fixes and optimizations are always welcome (please!), but in addition to
|
|
that there are some major work areas still untouched:
|
|
|
|
* Help work through missing functionality/bugs in game [compat](https://github.com/benvanik/xenia/issues?labels=compat)
|
|
* Add input drivers for [PS4 controllers](https://github.com/benvanik/xenia/issues/60) (or anything else)
|
|
* Skilled with Linux? A strong contributor is needed to [help with porting](https://github.com/benvanik/xenia/labels/cross%20platform)
|
|
|
|
See more projects [good for contributors](https://github.com/benvanik/xenia/issues?labels=good+for+contributors&page=1&state=open). It's a good idea to ask on IRC/the bugs before beginning work
|
|
on something.
