How do I use Xenia?
Refer to the Quickstart page.
What are Xenia’s system requirements?
See the Quickstart page
How do I fix the VCRUNTIME error?
Refer to the Quickstart page.
Why do I get an error saying «Your CPU does not support AVX»?
Your CPU doesn’t meet the minimum requirements.
See the Quickstart page
How do I dump games?
See the guide in Quickstart.
How do I improve performance?
Upgrade your PC or wait for optimizations.
Does Xenia support OpenGL/Direct3D11?
No. (see the system requirements)
Why is the audio delayed?
Audio is one of the least worked on things in Xenia. There is no fix.
How do I fix «Graphics device lost (probably due to an internal error»?
You can’t.
Can you add support for Windows Me? How about my Pentium II?
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.
Does Xenia run on Linux or macOS?
Not natively, but Xenia may run with Wine on Linux using Vulkan.
macOS is not compatible due to requiring MoltenVK/Metal support which isn’t implemented in Xenia.
Can I dump games using an Xbox One/Series S|X or run them directly from the disc?
No, and no.
Why is my game in trial/demo mode?
See this option.
How do I use xenia-vfs-dump?
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 [[DestinationOutput](ContainerPath])
Does game X run?
Check the compatibility list. If it’s not there, ask in the Discord #help channel or test it yourself.
What’s the difference between Gameplay and Playable?
Gameplay means the game reaches gameplay, even if the game is unplayable.
Why aren’t saves working? (Storage device not found/full/not detected, etc)
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.
Where are saves stored?
Saves are in Documentsxeniacontent by default.
If a portable.txt file is in the same directory as xenia.exe the content folder will be in the same directory as xenia.exe.
Can Xenia play games online with Xbox Live?
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.
How do I check my FPS?
With an FPS indicator like Rivatuner.
What is ROV?
See ROV
What are Xenia’s options?
See the Options page.
Can Xenia run original Xbox games?
Xenia does not support backwards compatibility, and therefore, cannot run original Xbox games.
For that there’s Cxbx-Reloaded, xqemu, and Xemu.
I have a copy of the XDK. Do you want it?
No. Do not post links or downloads to such resources or you will be banned.

Then you will have to upgrade your cpu before you can use xenia, since xenia requires AVX instructions

Your CPU is too old/low-end and doesn’t support the AVX instruction set which Xenia heavily relies on, and this is not a tech support forum.
well simple, remove AVX requirement make it supported but not a must since theres a ton of old beefy cpus out there like the 5690 that still hold some grunt for emulation , thanks

You can create a pull request with AVX instructions (can be located by searching for e.v in cpu/backend/x64) replaced with their SSE equivalents, and with two-operand form support (we have things like EmitCommutative* for scalar instructions already, a similar concept could work here too), in 620 places, if it works correctly and passes all the same tests as the current AVX implementation passes, we’ll possibly merge it.
ok that could be a solution here , hope someone takes this on would be neat for sure, since i have NO idea how to do this
