Xenia is an experimental emulator for the Xbox 360. It does not run games (yet),
|
|
|
|
|
and if you are unable to understand that please leave now.

|
The goal of this project is to experiment, research, and educate on the topic
|
2013-11-16 09:29:25 +00:00
|
|
|
of emulation of modern devices and operating systems. **It is not for enabling
|
|
|
|
|
illegal activity**. All information is obtained via reverse engineering of
|
2013-02-02 03:37:53 +00:00
|
|
|
legally purchased devices and games and information made public on the internet
|
|
|
|
|
(you'd be surprised what's indexed on Google...).

## FAQ
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-11-16 09:29:25 +00:00
|
|
|
### Can I get an exe?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**NO**. I am not releasing binaries - at least not for awhile. Don't be an
|
|
|
|
|
idiot and download a binary claiming to be of this project. In fact, don't
|
|
|
|
|
be an idiot and download *any* binary claiming to be an Xbox 360 or PS3
|
|
|
|
|
emulator from *any* source, especially not YouTube videos and shady websites.
|
|
|
|
|
Come on people. Jeez.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### What kind of machine do I need to run this?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You'll need 64-bit Windows 7 with a processor supporting at least SSE4.
|
|
|
|
|
It's only tested on Windows 8 and that may become a requirement as several of
|
|
|
|
|
the APIs exposed there are beneficial to emulation. In general if you have to
|
|
|
|
|
ask if your machine is good enough to run games at a decent speed the answer is
|
|
|
|
|
no.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### What about Linux/OSX?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The project is designed to support non-Windows platforms but until it's running
|
|
|
|
|
games it's not worth the maintenance burden. If you're a really passionate
|
|
|
|
|
Linux/OSX-based developer and want to help out, run Bootcamp/VM and contribute
|
|
|
|
|
an OpenGL 4 driver - that'll be the most difficult part in porting to
|
|
|
|
|
non-Windows platforms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### What kind of GPU do I need?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DirectX 11 support is required. To get full speed and compatibility Mantle may
|
|
|
|
|
be required in the future (which means R9 AMD cards and up).
