Xbox 360 Emulation On PC Just Got SO MUCH BETTER AND EASIER!

[@WigWoo1]

In all its years of development I really don’t know why the Xenia team hasn’t added their own GUI interface yet

As long as its a core for a front-end like Retroarch, it may not need its own GUI interface.

[@FuzzyDlop]

@@itsdinkd1771 Nintendo? Who has never bothered all the biggest and main emulators if they were not costing them millions and millions of dollars? Dolphin is still up there. Untouched. Nintendo was only bothered, and justly so, when the creators tried to put it on steam. Yuzu was never an issue to Nintendo, until they started making money by pirating brand new games and leaking Tears of the Kingdom, one of the best games ever made, costing a lot of money to Nintendo. All the best SNES emulators are still up, same with N64 and even Wii U. Do you really think Nintendo didn't know that Yuzu existed before they started making money off of it with patreon etc...? Are you really that dumb? It's not Nintendo's fault but it's the fault of the people who want to make money off of piracy. Ask yourself why Ryujinx is still up, still updated almost daily and Nintendo doesn't care.

[@midnightstrike3625]

I just started getting into Xenia. It reminds me of old emulators where you had no UI and had to ctrl + O every game in your folder. I tried NFS Most Wanted first and there was no sound and the light was so bright it made everything white except the car. Saints Row 2 and FEAR work great though. I was amazed because I didn't know my computer was capable of running 360 or PS3 games!

[@brkbtjunkie]

Emulating ps3 is a different beast altogether

[@DeepDimpleDemon]

@@brkbtjunkie think so? Emulating PS3 has been significantly easier and simple for me compared to 360 emulation. Tons of compatible games as well. Looks like I might need to check out Xenia again though

[@MediocreTCG]

​@@DeepDimpleDemon it's that PS3 emulation has been worked on SUPER hard the past few years. In a couple years, 360 emulation SHOULD be easier than PS3

[@andy_bg234]

Biggest plus about the shutdown is hopefully more modders will start working on the 360.

[@DeepDimpleDemon]

Agreed

[@TheSchnieder6]

Probably a pipe dream, with all the different 360 versions, but if the 360 could get the 3DS treatment, that would be amazing.

[@JaymeSplendid]

I doubt it. If people that have the ability to mod the console, right software, create hardware etc haven't done so yet, they most likely won't. If you're a die hard modder who loved Xbox then there is a good chance you're already been messing with it for a few years. I don't think this will jump start a new interest to a degree that it will push emulation forward at a faster speed. Everyone knew that the storefront will close down at some point, this is inevitable for all consoles. If that wasn't a driving force then, its not going to be much one now that it is actually done. What this will do tho is make those that have been in the scene work harder, but I don't think we will see a large influx of new people popping into the scene due to it closing. EDIT: Not to mention there are so many different versions of the 360 from hardware to software that people can only focus on one specific type of build and firmware. Its too splintered. This is why even today when you see mod guides they tell you the exact model are best and the firmware to look for. Not all 360's can even be modded, softmod or hardware.

[@Nukemann64]

@@Jokerwolf666 absolutely! Advantages everywhere! Lol

[@stressedrex]

Well tbh this comment makes no sense. It costs money to keep these digital marketplaces up and for the past few years, the marketplace on the 360 hasn't had an active consumer base. They've given you an avenue to buy these games for almost 20 years lol, and with less and less people utilizing the 360 marketplace over the years, it shows less and less people want it. Of course Microsoft would pull the plug on it. Still sad, but that's just what happens. I'm impressed it's even lasted as long as it did, and for the past few months many games have been permanently discounted. At least they support their digital storefronts longer than Nintendo would ever dare to do so. Nintendo would have a heart attack imagining any of their storefronts lasting 19 years...

I really appreciate you showing this with us all dude!. I've been using Xenia and Its always annoying to go through that text block and alter things, especially when you don't fully what everything Is. I got quite a few games to work either perfect or near perfect a lot faster with this manager which makes the process a lot less frustrating. Now to hope for more games to get fixed by Xenia themselves like World at War so it doesn't crash during the first mission lol.

Good video. I've tested this with Skate 3 and was getting janky glitches and tearing so I limited the FPS to 30 then using the Steam tool "lossless scaling" to double my FPS. My LS settings use the Nvidia type of scaling from the drop down menu and scaled it by x2 with performance mode on. I still get some glitches at the bottom of the screen if the floor is complicated eg. brickwork, but any smooth surfaces are rendering fine. Please do a video on your favourite Xbox marketplace games. Even if they can't be emulated at this moment in time. Thanks.

[@johnsullivan937]

It drives me absolutely crazy how after all these years they still have yet to give us ANY options to play gears 2 or 3 on pc, and keep gears 1 remastered off of steam. Gears of war was like one of the most popular xbox franchises they had back in the 7th generation. First they let the coalition turn the series into some game about whiny teenagers crying all the time instead of battle hardened steroid fueled soldiers fighting nightmarish monsters. Then they dont even let us play the old good ones on pc! They show such little respect for their legendary IP's...

[@EggChen6DemonBag]

[@RealAlphaDrum]

that's the state of the emulator, not settings. The emulator is very rough in general. The program is a better front end to make it more user friendly, not more compatible with games.

@RealAlphaDrum i know what it does and the limitations of the emulator itself.
