Pinned comment for any updates to settings or notes. In the meantime, let me know if some of these games brought back memories or if you were surprised at the number of exclusive titles especially from Japanese studios.
Thank you a lot for your high quality content. I have been practicing emulation on PC and android for 2-3 years, and i always learn something from your work. Please keep going this way! Cheers from France
Thank you so so so much for the configs got 3 games on my list up until now to work Forza 1 & 2 and also Import tuner challenge. Great high quality content here and for that you've earned a new sub! Thanks again man 👌
omg - thank you so much!!! I initially tried Xenia in Batocera Linux and realized Lutris wasn't cutting it. I configured Xenia Canary using your suggestions and one of my favorite games, Ilomilo works in Windows without a hitch! This Ally is truly amazing - my xbox360 has been gathering dust (I don't think I've turned it on in over a year or two) and now I can bring my games on the go and finally finish all the games I actually bought! (yes, other games are tempting and will surely play them but I figure I should prioritize games like Ilomilo Lol). A rainy day project will be to figure out how to connect my KINECT to my Ally cuz that's why I bought my xbox360 in the first place - for Dance Central! 🕺
This content is exactly what I need, and the configuration for specific games (especially for Ally) is a plus plus for me.. Thanks for your effort to create this great video content, keep up this good works to create similar type of content, or to update the same content with the latest emulator update
I'm surprised how far the performance differences between xenia canary and rpcs3 when I tried rdr 1. I cant get anything above 20fps on armadillo when using rpcs3 in 15 watts power, but lo and behold, xenia can get to 25+ fps out of the box with the same wattage power, and i think the game looks so much better too.
I'm doing this for a regular PC but man thank you so much for the patches and especially the Tokyo Xtreme Racer patch, I had no idea that was a thing. Great tastes in games, man. NG2! All these shmup! I hope all the Ally and Deck owners give those games a try
Showing Kingdon Under Fire: Circle of Doom. Legend. Such a forgotten game. Also incredibly sad that Amped 3 has so many issues. It's my favourite snowboarding game.
loving my ally, got it a few weeks ago and it's a beast, haven't tried ps3 or 360 emulation yet but just gaming overall it's great, had no issues yet but looking forward to trying out more systems.
Hey hey! Just checked out your Xbox 360 emulation video with the Xenia Canary emulator on the ASUS ROG Ally - awesome stuff, Retro Tech Dad! 🎮🕹 Fifty games on the Ally? That's some serious dedication right there. So, speaking of gaming gizmos, I've actually got my hands on a Steam Deck. Exciting, right? Now, I'm no techie, but watching your video got me thinking - could the Steam Deck hold its own in the Xbox 360 emulation game? I mean, with its beefy hardware and all, do you reckon it could match up or maybe even one-up the Ally's emulation game? I'm itching to dive back into some classic Xbox 360 titles, and if the Steam Deck could deliver the same kind of mojo as the Ally, that'd be a total game-changer for me. Share your gamer wisdom, Retro Tech Dad! Keep those insights rollin' 🚀
Great tutorial Tech Dad. I would like to add another suggestion to Xenia config file. Under GPU change gpu_allow_invalid_fetch_constants to True. With out this enabled some 360 import games like the Cave shmups games will have sound but no graphics on the screen. This change will make those games playable.
Thank you so much! 🙏🙏 I have that config change for Muchi Muchi Pork/Pink Sweets. The other Cave shooters didn't need it which is interesting. Do you know it's a safe one to just leave on permanently? I didn't have a chance to test that.
Yes it is perfectly safe to leave this setting enabled. This will also work on the UAP versions of Xenia that runs on the Series consoles.@@retrotechdad
Yet again, retrotechdad showing he has great taste in video games; I don't think many other youtubers would include Cave's games on an xbox 360 emulation showcase.
Sadly, fable 2 only seems to run for the very beginning of the game at the moment. Once you get past the intro and become an adult you'll likely encounter many texture bugs and crashes. Canary runs it better, with patches, but still can't progress very far without GPU crashes on the Ally
To anyone having Forza 2 crash before the race loads on the current xenia canary, you have to open the config file for xenia and set mount_cache to true and mount_scratch to true
Ooo, that would be a very cool video idea! 🔥🔥 I might have to think about. BTW, I just uploaded a RPCS3 vs Xenia video if you haven't checked it out already! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HECHhndwU0E.html
Great video. Thanks again for the Xenia showcase as there are some exclusives I was dying to play again. Question....for Gears of War 3, I keep getting the "Graphics Device Lost" crash, when I change it to Vulkan, it doesn't crash but there are a bunch of graphical issues. What specific game settings did you use? Any tips? Thanks and keep up the awesome ROG Ally videos.
As lots of others have commented, I keep getting "Graphics Driver Lost" crashes, and other random crashes at launch of just about every single 360 games ive tried (Forza 3 and 4, Halo 3, Halo 4, Halo Reach, etc). And yes, all drivers on my Rog Ally are up to date. Ive even tried setting the gpu backend to D3D12 and Vulkan, no change.
Did you incorporate changes I suggested in the beginning of the video? In the config file make sure the following is set: mount_cache=true apu_max_queued_frames=3 I have not tested Halo 3, 4, or Reach specifically since those have PC versions available. Forza 3 requires d3d12_readback_resolve=true Which version of Xenia Canary are you using? I recommend to try the specific build I've tested all the games in this video with which is linked in my description.
one thing people fail to mention is xbox 360 outsold ps3 all the way up till when ps4 and xbox one released, for whatever reason there was surge in ps3 sales when the generation was dying.
Great video with a lot of work put into it and I appreciate that, unfortunately 75% of the games you showed off I just dont care for and was looking for the bigger titles played, like Fight Night Round 4, Red Dead.
OK, making custom config files is a nightmare, just add the codes this guy is mentioning into Steam Launch Options, much less time consuming and works well. I tested with all games for launching in fullscreen, launch option is "--fullscreen=true" I tested Blue Dragon, the D3D12 option is no longer the same, it's under GPU, but you can put in launch options "--clear_memory_page_state=true" I reccomend just adding the lines you need into Steam Launch Options, save yourself the hassle of altering the configs on a per game basis, this just saves it. For example, copy and paste this into launch options for Blue Dragon to get it to run in fullscreen and not crash after the logo, "--clear_memory_page_state=true --fullscreen=true" Hope this helps folks.
Xenia won't let me play skate 3, it launches the game correctly but i can't get past the intro and get to actual gameplay, instead it just open an error window that says : Faulting thread name I am using a Lenovo Legion Go Handheld device with Windows 11 and Emudeck/emulationstation.
Hi. I get this error every time ""Graphics Device Lost Due to an Internal Error" with the Gears of War 3... Do you face same issue? if yes? can you pls share your method to fix this? if not. Can you pls show me the pics of your canary setting? thank you alot
Can you please find out what the configurations are for the Xbox 360 X-Men Destiny for Cannery please, I'm at a complete loss and don't know what else to do
So I'm pretty new to newer emulators, last one I had was for the OG nes. I've been doing my reading and researching and just got an rog Ally. I'm trying to get Xbox 360 NCAA football 14. I went the emu deck route and have that downloaded however I've been reading about bios. Is that something I need for a 360 game or no? Any help would be appreciated.
HELP for some reason whenever i laod up gears of war 2 it doesnt load my saves i always have to restart from the beginning i dont know what im doing wrong
Hello or performed the same steps in my rog ally but gear of war 3 crashes with an error message after the first stages of the game "while I'm playing" :(
I followed the steps in the video, but I think either I'm doing something wrong or maybe it's the version of Xenia Canary that's causing the problems. The game I'm trying to play is Ninja Gaiden 2, but for some reason once the game gets past the initial loading screen it has A LOT of slow down to the point that it won't even load in after picking what difficulty level I would like to play on. Also for some reason after trying to play Ninja Gaiden 2 several times with the same results my Ally was giving me problems and after several restarts it reverted my home screen back to a configuration that I had set weeks ago.
Interesting, I did not experience that issue at all except for the issues with Team Ninja games that be fixed in the config file. I definitely recommend trying out the build that I was using for the video, which I have linked here: github.com/xenia-canary/xenia-canary/releases/tag/9333373 Your other issue sounds like Windows might've reverted back to a system restore point since you mentioned that you had to do several restarts.
@@retrotechdad Thank you I really appreciate it, but I figured out what the problem was and it is potentially a much bigger one. For some reason Windows wasn't reading the Gpu drivers. In the device manager settings it was saying that Windows could't read the Amd Radeon Graphics and there was an error 31. I tried reinstalling the graphics drivers and other troubleshooting methods, but nothing seemed to work. But, when I woke up this morning now in device manager it seems that the drivers are working properly now even though in real time monitor it currently is reading 0% Gpu with 0mhz and 0 apu Watts (which is impossible).
Can you hook me up with a configuration for guitar hero 3, audio laggs and game tends to Hitch with base configuration u told me to set at beginning of video before gameplay sections
Im new to xenia and the rog in general. My son in law sugested i get the one that just came out in july 2024. Im curious as to where a good place to download roms from. Ive been looking for fable 2 as a coworker said id love the game
Something strange,I have Lenovo legion 5 rtx 3060(130watt),Ryzen 7 5800h(45watt),ram 16 but Naruto rise of ninja have lag when I go around the city, please how do I fix that ?
About 2 weeks ago Lost Odyssey crashed all the time (Graphics device lost "probably due to an internal error") on the ally with the latest canary release, anyone can confirm that this is fixed now?
Interesting, I'd recommend trying the build I was using for this video (June 12, 2023): github.com/xenia-canary/xenia-canary/releases/tag/9333373 I didn't experience any crashing with Lost Odyssey at all.
The emulator automatically detects and sets up the built in controller of the Ally. If it’s not detecting the controller, make sure that gamepad is selected for the control mode in the command center overlay.
Thank you so much, i use emulator for my favorite game Top Spin 4, i worked but controller of Ally doesn’t work, please help me to fix it, thank you again!
PS3 games came on Blu-ray discs which could hold far more data compared to the double layer DVDs that Xbox 360 came on. I think a lot of developers just utilized the available storage and didn't bother compressing data.
I got import tuner challenge working but for some weird reason the gas button only detects half throttle and can't accelerate at full throttle even tho I have the gas trigger all the way down :/ any suggestions?
