Yes I will absolutely be donating to sir mangler! For future reference, if ANY of The creators of these amazing projects have a donation section please let us know too! That’s how we keep this ish going!

[@balegharete]

Absolutely! These guys and gals sometimes do it 4 free, so any way we can help them means they can focus on cool emulating stuff :)

[@ufoguy]

Buddy I listened to the previous video and... well I'm more than happy that you decided to not give up on the channel and that things are finally starting to work out. I know my part is small but I do what I can to support you and your family, love you people! God bless you and I hope the channel keeps growing and we see more Creative juice on it ;)

Game Preservation is of the upmost important, and being able to own our games and play them in such a flexible manner is just amazing.

[@TheJoaovicente]

I can't have Xenia recognize my games, even after extracting the isos. My USB drive is setup right, because both dolphin and aethersx2 have no problem recognizing games. It's just Xenia that is having this issue.

Great vid, had to sub and I really like how simple you explain things and its easy for me to understand. I can play some unlisted x360 games now. Thanks mate! Also, any info on how to apply updates or DLCs?

In Forza Motorsport 4 Menu,I can see install disc 2,i have it extracted like you did in video,i have it on my hard drive,but how can i install it?Tried pressing multiple buttons in game,trying to get to menu and launch disc 2,nothing happens,feel just a little messed up,can someone help me?

[@hda5111]

How do you combine 2 disc games on xenia or play 2 disc games

[@thatonerampartmain8843]

It says Forzs Horizon 1 is working fine online in the compatibility list but when I open the game on Xenia it stutters and lags a whole bunch. Any fix? Please

[@grubby05]

Sooo I installed the retail version of xenia without the ui, changed my drive permissions and have been able to load 360 games fine. However, since installing the version with the Ui, it doesn't seem to find any of my games after setting the directory for them. They're extracted games, and I have followed instructions for unlocking the permissions on the drive. Am I missing anything?

[@itchyisvegeta]

With the recent update from a few weeks ago, only most of the games I have, as opposed to all of them, freeze after the title screen. Got Castlevania Lords of Shadow to load and play, and I got Halo 3 to load and play (very slowly). I'm hoping almost all my games freezing after the title scree is due to this still being a work in progress, and hopefully not something i did wrong during the game back up process on my 360.

[@daltongunter7568]

How does lords of shadows work with it being 2 disks. Does the install disk place the data somewhere properly or does a specific directory path need to be made?

[@ArchadesGames]

It's the emulator. 360 isn't in the best state on PC either. It handles data installation from discs on its own.

[@uhhh_adam]

Are there any games worth getting this for?

I just subscribed to your channel bro. All of your videos have come in extremely helpful as I have the xbox series x. I got a 4tb external harddrive with 1000s of games and they all work amazingly. The only issue I'm facing is that n64 exits when I try to run a rom on retroarch. Apart from that everything works great and keep up the fantastic work.

[@ArchadesGames]

Nice! Check out the pinned comment on my N64 vid to get the right config file for it

Wondering if you ran into an issue where the games list is blank? It worked fine a few days ago and now the games list doesn't show any games. I tried resetting the path, also tried uninstalling Xenia and started from scratch.

[@kaazer]

Anyone know why it goes to a black screen with only audio once it gets to the main menu of the game? Seems to start fine with all the videos but as soon as you get to the main menu it goes black.

[@MrSiilverfox]

Hi Everyone, So I installed everything properly on my USB and added it as "Media" but I am still not seeing my USB when trying to add my path. Am I missing something?

[@ShooterBtv]

Thank you!!

[@writtenskate522plays]

For me the game doesn't launch directly. It says "New game detected. please relaunch to play", so I did, and then it just says "Failed to launch, title path is invalid", but CLEARLY the game IS there because I used the EXACT same extractor tool, and dolphin and retroarch has no problems, so what's the problem here???

[@ZachlikesMetal]

I did everything right and I even uninstalled and reinstalled the program to my retail series x but the games still aren't showing up. I used iso2god program and added a 360 game folder to the NTFS usb drive and plugged in and nothing.

[@ArchadesGames]

Extract them instead

[@RealSchuettl]

Same problem for me

[@OGSERB]

Any recommendations for the best usb drives? I’d assume it’s pretty important when you’re doing emulation

[@DrKoneko]

Samsung has a 128 GB flash drive and I got one on amazon for like 14 bucks. It's USB 3.1 so it's USB-C speeds in USB-A form factor.

[@MrWeakDoesThings]

Am I able to import dlc to these games?

[@DemonxModRx]

I'm so confused. My USB is formatted correctly, my games are in xex format, the game folder is inside of an "Xbox 360 games" folder, and yet nothing shows up in my games list tab. I've tried this with l4d, GTA IV, and WAW. I've even gone as far as trying to load it up as God format instead of xex... What am I doing wrong? The only other thing I can think of is the fact that I'm on a retail, but that shouldn't affect anything...?

[@Irfan__]

U need to be on dev mode

[@pathfindercast]

Thanks for the tutorial. Cool to see all of the progress being done with Xenia. Are title updates and DLC supported?

Thank you very much for your guide but just one question how do you change the language for a game ? Is it possible on this build ?

[@djreo82]

Great video bud. I commented on your ps1 video to download duck station. But the file you said in the video, isn't there. Unless I'm doing something wrong

[@TimTacTV]

Is this completely safe? It seems easier to do it in dev mode for the time being, but I'm concerned I might get a virus or brick my Xbox. Should I perform back ups of my saves first? Any other tips?

[@Awesomeness4627]

Completely safe. Hackers don't make viruses for xbox. And you would be downloading the games on your pc anyways.

[@dennismccann6982]

I have followed your steps on this and after I extract the iso. I get folders for said game but when I load on xenia I have a lot of file names listed along with the folder name for the games. When I select the game folder to load up it just gives me a black screen Please help

I really hope they don’t take these apps away from us :/ makes me feel like I’m playing a Jtag/RgH again like the good old days

[@Onyx-uk9dw]

I was wondering how dlc and paid dlc would work in this. Is it possible to play dlc content in this emulator? Especially for games like Forza motorsport 3 which has 2 disks, one being the actual game and the other being a content install disk. Also for games that have paid dlc, would we be able to play its paid dlc content?

[@ArchadesGames]

You would likely run the second disc like normal. I haven't messed with DLC yet

[@tarransanders21]

Yeah, if this allowed me to play around with say, PGR 3 and 4 DLC's then this would be worth its weight in gold alone.

(Cleaning the cache will reset your console on favtory settings, but as long as you make sure to chose the option "keep my applicatioms", when singing in to your account it will find the configuration file and it will be as it was.
