# How do I use Xenia?
|
|
|
|
Refer to the [Quickstart page](https://github.com/xenia-project/xenia/wiki/Quickstart).
|
|
|
|
|
|
# How do I fix the VCRUNTIME error?
|
|
|
|
Make sure you downloaded a **[Release build of Xenia](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/benvanik/xenia/artifacts/xenia-master.zip?branch=master&job=Configuration:%20Release&pr=false)**, and download the **[latest x64 Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable](https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe)**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Can you add support for Windows Me? How about my Pentium II?
|
|
|
|
Support for older operating systems and processors will not be added unless a
|
|
contributor steps up to build and maintain them. All active contributors are on
|
|
modern systems and busy with higher priority tasks. Whether the emulator runs on
|
|
Windows Vista or not doesn't matter if it can't run games.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Does Xenia run on Linux or macOS?
|
|
|
|
Not natively, but Xenia runs with Wine on Linux.
|
|
|
|
macOS is not compatible due to requiring MoltenVK support which isn't implemented in Xenia.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# How do I dump/rip games?
|
|
|
|
See the guide in [Quickstart](https://github.com/xenia-project/xenia/wiki/Quickstart#How-to-rip-games).
|
|
|
|
## 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 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Does game *X* run?
|
|
|
|
Check the [compatibility list](https://github.com/xenia-project/game-compatibility/issues). If it's not there, ask in the [Discord #help channel](https://discord.me/xenia-emulator) 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](https://github.com/Cxbx-Reloaded/Cxbx-Reloaded) and [xqemu](https://github.com/xqemu/xqemu).
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Can Xenia play games online with Xbox Live?
|
|
|
|
Xenia may connect to **custom** servers in the far future, but it will **never** connect to official Xbox Live servers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# 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:
|
|
* [DS4Windows (Dualshock 4/PS4 controller)](https://github.com/Ryochan7/DS4Windows/releases)
|
|
* [x360ce *x64* (DInput/Generic Controller/M+KB)](https://www.x360ce.com/)
|
|
|
|
If you have any problems with those you can also try launching xenia via Steam.
|
|
|
|
You can use the mouse to control the analog/joysticks, and rebind the keyboard controls ***with x360ce***.

|
|
|
|
Xbox 360 accessories like the Kinect are not supported.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# How do I check my FPS?
|
|
|
|
With an FPS indicator like [Rivatuner](https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/rtss-rivatuner-statistics-server-download.html).
|
|
|
|
# Options
|
|
|
|
For all of Xenia's options, see the [Options page](https://github.com/xenia-project/xenia/wiki/Options).
|
|
|
|
|
|
# What's the difference between Gameplay and Playable?
|
|
|
|
Gameplay means the game reaches gameplay, even if the game is unplayable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# I have a copy of the XDK. Do you want it?
|
|
|
|
**No.** Do not post links or downloads to such resources or you will be banned.
|

# 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](https://github.com/xenia-project/xenia/blob/master/src/xenia/kernel/xboxkrnl/xboxkrnl_video.cc#L138).
|
|
|
|
*[Refer to building.md on GitHub](https://github.com/xenia-project/xenia/blob/master/docs/building.md)*

# Hacks/mods
|
|
|
|
See the [Game hacks, mods, etc. page](https://github.com/xenia-project/xenia/wiki/Game-hacks,-mods,-etc).
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
Make sure:
|
|
|
|
* You're not using outdated or invalid [launch parameters](#Options).
|
|
* 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 your GPU supports D3D12.

*Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary does not work.*
|
|
|
|
**Xenia is a *work in progress* so expect issues.** |
