Upgrade your PC or wait for optimizations.

Your CPU doesn't meet the minimum requirements. (see above)

No. (see system requirements above)

Refer to the Quickstart page.

Audio is one of the least worked on things in Xenia. There is no fix.

You can't.

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.

Not natively, but Xenia may run with Wine on Linux using Vulkan.*

• D3D12 will only work on Windows 10+ due to vkd3d not being supported.

macOS is not compatible due to requiring MoltenVK/Metal support which isn't implemented in Xenia.

See the guide in Quickstart.

No, and no.

No. You can use a stock/unmodded console to dump games.

See this option.

xenia-vfs-dump is a command-line tool use for dumping content from STFS and SVOD containers.

You can download it from here.

Usage: xenia-vfs-dump [ContainerPath] [DestinationOutput]

Check the compatibility list. If it's not there, ask in the Discord #help channel or test it yourself.

Saves are broken in some games in Xenia, 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.

• • This won't do anything with Xenia Canary since it's already in portable mode by default.**

Saves are in Documents\xenia\content by default.

If a portable.txt file is in the same directory as xenia.exe or you are using Xenia Canary the content folder will be in the same directory as xenia.exe.

Xenia only supports XInput controllers by default, which includes but is not limited to Xbox 360, and Xbox One controllers.

For non-XInput controllers, SDL must be used.

Xenia does not support mice, accessories like the Kinect, uDraw GameTablet, or microphones.

Xenia may connect to custom servers in the far future, but it will never connect to official Xbox Live servers.

Xenia does not support System Link either.

With an FPS indicator like Rivatuner.

See ROV.

See the Options page.

Gameplay means the game reaches gameplay, even if the game is unplayable.

Xenia does not support backwards compatibility, and therefore, cannot run original Xbox games.

For that there's Cxbx-Reloaded and xemu.

No. Do not post links or downloads to such resources or you will be banned.

Xenia Canary is a fork of Xenia with changes not present in master that may or may not fix games.
