I'm probably just going to wait until we get some Linux alt or port for 360 stuff, but I really appreciate you making a video explaining all of this!

To get better performance make sure you use the patches folder. You can disable Motion blur, bloom, DOF and other things.

[@ED4T]

Yes that helps definitely. I have a dedicated video for patch files. How to Install DLC / Updates/ Patch File / Xbox360 Xenia Emulator on Steam Deck / Tutorial / Guide kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZuzhJ6ljbhjeLM

Halo, I have a questions I have tried everything buy my Xbox 360 games freezes every time after some seconds of gameplay. I've been trying to play NFS MW 2005 and NFS carbon and I keep having this issue. Anything is useful at this point. Thank you!

[@jasonserrano7355]

I have a question, the game I tried to play is mortal Kombat 9 , but there's a green screen in the intro and then in the menu is just appears a black screen , I can hear the sound but the only issue is the black screen, so is there a way to fix it

Thanks for the videos brotha. I really appreciate your work u do. I follow your guides and up to this point…my Xbox 360 games are booting up but I can’t see anything. I can hear the background music and sounds and I can select options as I press the buttons but I cannot see anything. Can u help please?

[@saltyninjav2870]

Can you make a video of which ps3 games are playable on Steam Deck

[@D1_0N3]

Hello friend, can you help, I have a freeboot game, that is, just a folder, not an ISO file Can I somehow launch it, I just haven’t tried but I just can’t do it

[@ChrisHatchback]

Thanks for the video but I think its hit or miss for some people. Miss for me. I've tried the emudeck Xenia route and didn't work. I Uninstalled Xenia from Emudeck and tried this manual route. Same ending. The game would load with the Microsoft and Epic intro. You can select solo op and start new game and all it will do is load a blank screen with your Ammo counter in the top right. If you fire, you would just see the sparks and hear sound but nothing else. Also copied the fix files and that didn't work either. I also tried switching Vulkan to D3D12 and got something to show up that time but it crashed. Taking a break now as I can't get GOW 2 or GOW 3 to work. Gears 1 is perfect through emudeck.

[@sneaking-pompom]

If the game uses multiple game discs (ISO), is it possible to swap discs? For example, "Blue Dragon" is a 3-disc game. Please let me know if there is a way.

[@sneaking-pompom]

​@@ED4Tthank you! It was a very useful video!

[@oneiltomlinson]

Why do you duplicate the folders for the different games. What is the advantage?

[@ED4T]

You can apply different gpu settings in this case for different games. Some game will run with vulkan and some will run with d3d12. Emudeck will only sign every game to vulkan but this emulator doesn’t work that way.

[@brethbk69]

Great video! What's the best way to remove Xenia from Emudeck?

[@ED4T]

Go to emudeck from desktop then manage emulators and click Xenia then unisntall it

How works Gears of war 2 and 3 st Xenia with Steam OS

[@weezer17]

Thank you so much for this video. I followed your video step by step and games only load with a black screen. In a previous video "Steam Deck: Standalone (Without EmuDeck) Xbox360 Xenia Emulator Setup - Gear of War 2 Fix" you made a change to Target link in the compatibility part of the game. In this video you didn't do that step. Is that still needed? Time stamp in first video is 9:34. In this video it is 7:22. Thanks in advance for your help!

[@weezer17]

@ED4T wasn't sure if i should tag you.

[@ED4T]

Sorry for late reply. You don’t need to do that if you use EmuDeck Xenia. But if you are not using emudeck then you have to do the compatibility part.

[@weezer17]

@@ED4T nothing to apologize for! I’m trying stand-alone Xenia. Rumble Roses locks up after the game starts and reboots my deck. Captain America super soldier only shows a pink screen. Same results using Xenia with emudeck. I did the compatibility stuff but using your most recent video where it seems like you were able to streamline the process.
