Xbox 360 was hands down the best Microsoft console ever created. The competition between Sony and Microsoft from 2005-2013 will never been seen like that again.
I would say this is the modern golden age of gaming, there were just so many great games in the market, I'd say it's when 3D gaming really peaked and it even brought PC to the competition, I still play many of those games!
I will always be disappointed they changed from the blades home screen and never gave the option to set it back. it ruined a few of the Xbox360 backgrounds I had already bought at that point that change depending on what "blade" you were on, they looked so much better and fit the consoles aesthetic perfectly. The one to come after wasnt terrible, just still not nearly as cool as the blades were, plus it was the console update that added the avatars which were neat. Plus it was fairly usable and you can see the options well enough no matter what "tab" you were on. the one after that, the last one was super uninspired, looked like the windows 8 Start screen, which was a wonderful reminder of why I hated windows 8 and 8.5, it was made for tablets in mind, but this is a home console! I'd bet my life savings they mainly only changed it so they can shove more ads in your face.
Yeah, I think he's greatly overstating the compatibility and understating the requirements - 360/PS3 emulation (much moresoe PS3) are quite CPU intensive, so you're going to need a higher-end CPU to have a good experience, it's not a "any CPU will do" situation.
@@Alorso_ too bad my ps3 will fry itself if I use it in its current state as it idles on the home menu at 78C and its a ps2 compatible model. I'm still waiting until I get enough money to pay someone more experienced and has the proper tools to delid it.
@@yellowblanka6058 Xenia isn't actually that CPU intensive. Ryzen 3500X doesn't have problem with handling it. It is VERY GPU taxing however and it doesn't use all of the GPUs power properly yet.

Sony will now be racing to actually close the PS3 and PS Vita stores. They tried before and really regretted it. The PS3 is the last remaining console of the 7th generation still with an active store. The PS Vita is the only remaining handheld of the 8th generation with an active store (and no, the Switch doesn't count). We just lost the Xbox 360, we lost the Wii U and 3DS a few months ago, we can't lose these two things too this soon.
Thankfully, Xbox isn't interested in suing people into oblivion for enjoying their old games the morally correct way, so go right ahead. Good luck doing that with anyone else though.
Xbox has the luxury because they're owned by Microsoft with has billions at its disposal. That being said, Xbox's leadership is much more laid back than any other. console's, which idk is even a good thing anymore because it's doing the worst rn
You do realize that the XBox 360 download & online servers are still up, right? Not to mention that a copy becomes physical one way or the other as soon as it's on the hard drive either way and that discs don't even matter with the actual issue in gaming, which is revocable licensing, and yes, believe it or not, those count for discs as well as it's the exact same software you got on it which are bound to the exact same licensing agreement.
This still does leave many digital only games (XBLA) out to rot, though. One of my favorites on the console was one of these, and up until a couple years ago was lost media, Snoopy's Flying Ace, a *_surprisingly_* excellent WWI inspired dogfighter (pun not intended) that was removed from the storefront in 2016 due to the publisher not wanting to renew their license with Peanuts.
Some games had later releases with all the DLC on-disc. Sorry, but the Xbox 360 really was the last console where it was reasonable to ship it configured to run the game from disc by default (I guess you could say the Wii U was, but that was less reasonable due to no way to install to a HDD from disc and longer load times due to higher capacities). In the context of the Xbox 360, physical is objectively better. It becomes a lot more subjective in newer consoles where updates and live service design make it unreasonable to expect most people to run a game directly from optical media like the 360 does. Past the Wii U, consoles didn't actually run the game off the disc, it's used as an installer.
RIP to this legendary console, i still remember seeing it for the first time with my family at a local mall where you could play test the brand new 360 kinect with kinect sports, later on my parents bought it for christmas with the kinect and what followed was probably the best time i've ever had gaming with and without my brother and sister, from kinect sports to lego games, star wars kinect and cod mw3 etc. Seeing it go now feels really weird and depressing but it was gonna happen sooner or later, thank you 360' for being such a dear friend.
Impressive work from the Zenia development team; while Microsoft's backward compatibility is great, having access to all the classics without needing specific hardware is a great.
Already started emulating Xbox 360 games, been having fun playing Deadpool, next up I got some of the 360 Sonic games and Spider-Man Edge of Time. And after that I got no plan to stop from there.
@@PumpkinNite I'm guessing you're downloading the 360 ROM online. Why not download the PC version of Deadpool, instead of emulating the game which is probably buggy? The 360 emulator is pretty crap compared to others.
I'm surprised there wasn't much kick back if any at all for the store closing down on 360 to revert the changes like what happened on PS3, Vita etc. Luckily we still have them.
Seeing this man run Sonic Unleashed on Xenia makes me cry cause when i run it it stutters a lot (i have a 3060 i7-12th gen). I've been trying to improve the performance but I've just accepted that i need to wait to upgrade my rig
I'm really glad for this updated video on Xenia. It has come a long way since Muta last covered it, to a point where I feel comfortable recommending it to people (provided they're somewhat tech-savvy). Fun Fact: The netplay fork for Xenia has improved so much that you can play Gears 1 (maybe 2 & 3 also? Haven't tried them) multiplayer flawlessly. So it's only a matter of people being aware of it and actually playing.
Muta I love you I've been watching since ur lost sliver play throughs. Still enjoying watching your videos. I hope you know you impacted my life Ina. Good way.
Oh My God, SomeOrdinaryGamers, The first two Xbox 360 layouts are nostalgic as heck...Even the old Playstation 3 Layout and the old Wii Menu versions back in the mid to late 2000s are purely nostalgic...Yeah sure it's one thing to get roms/isos for the console, but it's a whole different thing when you're trying to get the bios to work on the emulator.
The cool thing about Lost Odyssey was that it was given out for free as a celebration of hitting a milestone of compatible 360 titles on Xbox One but for obvious reasons could be played on the original console too. Can't imagine how much scalpers are charging for the physical copy nowadays.
They also have Crackdown 1 and 2 for free on Xbox One/ Series as well which is nice, especially since some people might have memories from the first one due to it being the game to play the Halo 3 beta back in the day. Also Too Human is free in the store too, which is surprising that they even bothered with it due to the big legal lawsuit with Silicon Knights and Epic Games. Also another crazy fun fact is that they tried to make the Burger King games like Sneak King and PocketBike Racer backwards compatible but could not due to the way the discs for the games were formatted apparently. The discs had a OG Xbox version and the 360 version on the same disc.
the issue is they dont want to put in the effort of making a proper emulator and having support for it, its more then possible for them to do but its not direct profit so they dont want to
Too lazy. In my opinion, this wouldn't even be difficult. So instead of a disc-less variant of modern consoles, we could have a variant with hardware based backwards compatibility, like the launch PS3. Basically, they could include at least a few of the original chips in the console so that when you boot an old game, your "Xbox Series" it can go into original Xbox mode. Collectors worldwide would buy these in a heartbeat even if they were more expensive. They could manufacture less of these to prevent revenue losses.
What a coincidence. I had been struggling for literal months to get Sonic Unleashed working on rpcs3 and Muta just straight up shows me how to do it for xenia. TwT
@@marguya4643 Generations stages are garbage and too platform heavy. Unleashed stages way funner and more exhilarating. They are more built for the boost mechanic
One of the bug things i miss the most about the old school 360 days is the netflix watch parties. Being sble to watch movies and shit with your buddies online was amazing. With netflix's greed i dont think we will ever see that again. The ps2, xbox,xbox 360, and ps3 years were the golden age of gaming imo.
I have been running Xenia in my Nobara Linux and it runs amazing, and it keeps getting better! Being able to get DLC from the Archive is a massive W as well!
Might have to look into this, have been meaning to revisit a bunch of old Xbox 360 games for a while now, primarily Lost Odyssey as seen in this video, but also a bunch of other games such as Blue Dragon and Enchanted Arms (for some old school FromSoftware gaming).
with sonic unleashed(as well as sonic generations) in my experience in RPCS3, it runs great, provided it dosent crash, which happens pretty often for me, i assume its my cpu, since its easily the weakest link in my PC(second to ram), which sucks since i cant upgrade without getting a new motherboard since i have the best one for my motherboard

Seeing Muta giggling and getting giddy by playing Xbox 360 games reminds me of the good ol' days. Late nights playing with friends or single player games when I should've been in bed on a school night. I'd wake some mornings during the summer or weekends with Xbox 360 still going, warming up my room. I think I've owned 3 OG White Xbox 360s, two of them had the "red ring of death" and I got them serviced by Microsoft only to have issue return. My last Xbox 360, which I still proudly own to this day, is the limited edition Halo Reach edition. I dusted it off and brought it of the box just to boot it up and buy some games one last time before the market place closed. I remember going to the malls and visiting the local Game Stop to window shop or pick up a rated "M for Mature" game only to get denied by the person behind the counter. However, the cool sales person would look the other way and sell the games to me. I remember late night "Pre-order parties and the Halo 3 Launch night". Also met my first gf playing xbox 360 games doing split screen gaming on a variety of games. Only wish we knew we were in the good times before we we'd left. The Xbox 360 will forever be my favorite gaming console, thanks for making this video Muta!
Not GameStop, which for some reason still sells Wii games, but you can still sell them 360 games (why would you though?) because that generation is considered retro now which is crazy to think about
Used to replay Black Ops 2 Campaign on harder difficulties and when I played it for the first time. The game ended with a sick rock concert of all the characters. Ah the memories. This all happened because of me getting and enjoying the Xbox 360
I managed to get some games before the shutdown. The ones I already got was Call of Duty Classic and dlc for Batman: Arkham Origins. During the weeks of it, I got dlc content for Batman: Arkham City and Sonic '06 (my brother asked me to get it along with the $5 game). The games I got were: Alone in the Dark, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate- Deluxe Edition, Bionic Commando, Bionic Commando: Rearned, Burnout: Crash, Darkstalkers Resurrection, Gun, Metro 2033, Metro: Last Light, Mortal Kombat Kollection Arcade, Red Faction: Guerrilla (along with the prequel dlc), Remember Me, Resident Evil 4, Street Fighter II' HF, Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition, Street Fighter X Tekken, and The Chronicles of Reddick: Assault on Dark Athena. Pretty much most of the games I got because of the sale and were very cheap and better off paying them like this instead of paying for an expensive physical copy from Amazon/eBay.
Lost Odyssey and the Gears franchise are still playable on the modern Xboxes through that backwards compatibility program, and they are also still purchaseable (or use a disc on the boxes that have the drive). Since the backwards compatible games are still using the X360's Xbox Live, so I think most of those features are going to stick around for the OG hardware as long as they still sell those BC games.
I'll definitely have to try to figure out the patches because I'm specifically trying to run Sonic Unleashed and can't get out of Apotos without some kind of graphics crash
If you’re using Xenia Canary, I’d recommend setting the graphics to Vulkan There’s two options for Vulkan, where setting the renderer to “FBO” favors more performance, but does mess up some of the textures, like the Werehog fur while setting it to “FSI” fixes the broken textures more, but sacrifices performance.
Oh my god, this answers all my questions. I bought an Xbox 360 game recently on Xbox Series X and when I tried to log into it with a live 360, it wouldn't allow me. It came up error, logging in, please uninstall the game and reinstall the game back to fix it. But when I did this, it still came up with error. So this explains a whole lot to me. Now to be honest with you, I think Microsoft has some explaining to do because I think they should send around emails to people explaining this. Because I didn't know anything about this and I just wasted money on a game that I cannot log into. So it's disgraceful.
The best last update would be the one that allowed you to pick any dashboard from the xbox’s life cycle and release an app for windows that allows you to play any xbox 360 disk with a dvd player on your pc and emulate xbox live like how they do for their newer consoles.
I started emulating XBox 360 a couple of years ago, so I have had the privilege to watch Xennia's compatibility list grow. It's not perfect, but I have 28 solid titles to play that run with little to no hitch. Many of my favorite titles included. The hitches can be worked out with settings adjustments. I've personally never had a physical library that large with any of my consoles. Hopefully with the marketplace closure more love will be sent Xennia's way and improvements will come. For comparison, I also emulate PS3 and have over a hundred titles to play using it's most popular emulator. There are many more I just don't have interest in but that are bangers. I've had good success with an AMD 5600G cpu and a PowerColor RX6600 gpu.
Games preservation is important. Emulation is important. And when these companies decide they're no longer going to support a console, frankly they should be forced to make all their developer resources public and give up their right to prosecute anyone for using it "illegally". They get the full lifespan of the console and when it's no longer profitable it becomes public domain. I think that's perfectly fair.
Thanks mate, because of your video I managed to buy me Child of Light and Dark Messiah Elements on discount for 6 euros, otherwise I'd have not realised the store was closing.

In the context of the Xbox 360, physical is objectively better. It becomes a lot more subjective in newer consoles where updates and live service design make it unreasonable to expect most people to run a game directly from optical media like the 360 does. Past the Wii U, consoles didn't actually run the game off the disc, it's used as an installer.
I actually have a large physical library so I am honestly really glad I have it. Side note, I have two copies of Lost Odyssey
I do too but my disc tray is broke :/

Sonic Unleashed on a Mutahar video? Based
What an era, peak culture right here for Gaming. RIP 🙏🏽
Sonic Unleashed my beloved
Right next the the ordinary guy
I smell emulation tutorial
Its avaible via Backwards Compatible on Xbox One and Series X/S
RIP to this legendary console, i still remember seeing it for the first time with my family at a local mall where you could play test the brand new 360 kinect with kinect sports, later on my parents bought it for christmas with the kinect and what followed was probably the best time i've ever had gaming with and without my brother and sister, from kinect sports to lego games, star wars kinect and cod mw3 etc. Seeing it go now feels really weird and depressing but it was gonna happen sooner or later, thank you 360' for being such a dear friend.
Impressive work from the Zenia development team; while Microsoft's backward compatibility is great, having access to all the classics without needing specific hardware is a great.
Already started emulating Xbox 360 games, been having fun playing Deadpool, next up I got some of the 360 Sonic games and Spider-Man Edge of Time. And after that I got no plan to stop from there.
Can't you play all these on PC? Deadpool is on steam.
@@bluetooth2677 No actually, the Sonic xbox 360 games have never been on Steam. And Deadpool has been delisted for years now.
@@PumpkinNitepersonally, I find emulating versions which are released on PC somewhat redundant.
@@PumpkinNite I'm guessing you're downloading the 360 ROM online. Why not download the PC version of Deadpool, instead of emulating the game which is probably buggy?
The 360 emulator is pretty crap compared to others.
@@bluetooth2677 Theres a pc version you say?
Just played Peggle 2 on Xenia last night, runs soo well
I was playing Sonic Unleashed (favorite game) on Xenia yesterday at 60+ fps so seeing that thumbnail on a Mutahar video is funny.
wii version better tho
man those og blades and the menus before the current one brings back crazy nostalgia
Im playing my 360 right now. On disc three of FF13 on my tv, got my laptop on my right playing youtube. Glorious times.
God I hated ff13 finally on the part where the world opens up so it's fine now but gyatt dam those first 20 hours were rough
This makes me so nostalgic
Yeah 13 was boring as shit I remember playing the 360 version crazy ps3 was all on one disc.
Muta X Sonic is something I'd never thought I'd see ever
Sonic Unleashed at 720 60fps? Count me in
Yo Muta has been blessing us with some banging thumbnails lately
That menu screen was actually kinda sad to screen. I grew up with those bigass ads that would sit in the middle of every menu
I'm surprised there wasn't much kick back if any at all for the store closing down on 360 to revert the changes like what happened on PS3, Vita etc. Luckily we still have them.
Seeing this man run Sonic Unleashed on Xenia makes me cry cause when i run it it stutters a lot (i have a 3060 i7-12th gen). I've been trying to improve the performance but I've just accepted that i need to wait to upgrade my rig
check your compatibility & patch settings
you do not need to upgrade, i run the game just fine with the 60fps mod on my 2060 i7 10th gen, you should try changing the settings.
@@shootingwish good idea I'll try giving it another shot
I was able to play that game on a i7-2600k and GTX970. So, it sounds like a setting issue.
I just ignore mainline and use canary with patches.
@@Wesmoen yeah I'm starting to think it's a setting issue I'm gonna try graphics maxing it again
I'm really glad for this updated video on Xenia. It has come a long way since Muta last covered it, to a point where I feel comfortable recommending it to people (provided they're somewhat tech-savvy).
Fun Fact: The netplay fork for Xenia has improved so much that you can play Gears 1 (maybe 2 & 3 also? Haven't tried them) multiplayer flawlessly. So it's only a matter of people being aware of it and actually playing.
Muta I love you I've been watching since ur lost sliver play throughs. Still enjoying watching your videos. I hope you know you impacted my life Ina. Good way.
Oh My God, SomeOrdinaryGamers, The first two Xbox 360 layouts are nostalgic as heck...Even the old Playstation 3 Layout and the old Wii Menu versions back in the mid to late 2000s are purely nostalgic...Yeah sure it's one thing to get roms/isos for the console, but it's a whole different thing when you're trying to get the bios to work on the emulator.
The cool thing about Lost Odyssey was that it was given out for free as a celebration of hitting a milestone of compatible 360 titles on Xbox One but for obvious reasons could be played on the original console too. Can't imagine how much scalpers are charging for the physical copy nowadays.
They also have Crackdown 1 and 2 for free on Xbox One/ Series as well which is nice, especially since some people might have memories from the first one due to it being the game to play the Halo 3 beta back in the day. Also Too Human is free in the store too, which is surprising that they even bothered with it due to the big legal lawsuit with Silicon Knights and Epic Games.
Also another crazy fun fact is that they tried to make the Burger King games like Sneak King and PocketBike Racer backwards compatible but could not due to the way the discs for the games were formatted apparently. The discs had a OG Xbox version and the 360 version on the same disc.
Bold of you to assume the modern household potato can run 360 titles.
@SomeOrdinaryGamers You seeing this shit? RUclips gotta fix this shit man.
Bruh we all know
To be honest, I was playing games on Xenia on my i7-2600k and GTX970. Had quite fun with it. If I'm remembering well, it ran much better than rcps3.
I tried to download it and it said my computer was too weak
@@garfieldfan925 what are your specs?
Didn’t expect to see you playing some Sly 2. Mad respects, Muta
Not gone lie Muta, I miss that little jingle that used to play after you said your closing statements. Bring that back!
If emulation is a thing that works, why don't any of the gaming companies just port the whole library of their old consoles to PC?
the issue is they dont want to put in the effort of making a proper emulator and having support for it, its more then possible for them to do but its not direct profit so they dont want to
Because a native pc port is much better than emulation
Microsoft should do that especially since XBOX was created by Microsoft
Too lazy. In my opinion, this wouldn't even be difficult.
So instead of a disc-less variant of modern consoles, we could have a variant with hardware based backwards compatibility, like the launch PS3. Basically, they could include at least a few of the original chips in the console so that when you boot an old game, your "Xbox Series" it can go into original Xbox mode.
Collectors worldwide would buy these in a heartbeat even if they were more expensive. They could manufacture less of these to prevent revenue losses.
Emulators are pretty buggy, thats why
i may not have had an xbox 360, i was heavily missing out but now i crave one
Now I don't feel too bad about missing out on stuff from the Marketplace.
Aleeady ahead of you. Been doing it for Viva Pinata 1 and 2 for years
Cannot wait for Crackdown 1 to be playable in Xenia.
What a coincidence. I had been struggling for literal months to get Sonic Unleashed working on rpcs3 and Muta just straight up shows me how to do it for xenia. TwT
Sonic unleashed 360/ps3 still has the best boost stages in the entire franchise.
Sonic Generations victim
wii version better
@@marguya4643 Generations stages are garbage and too platform heavy. Unleashed stages way funner and more exhilarating. They are more built for the boost mechanic
@@SonGokuuuuuuu what?
One of the bug things i miss the most about the old school 360 days is the netflix watch parties. Being sble to watch movies and shit with your buddies online was amazing. With netflix's greed i dont think we will ever see that again. The ps2, xbox,xbox 360, and ps3 years were the golden age of gaming imo.
seeing lost odyssey made my heart happy
I have been running Xenia in my Nobara Linux and it runs amazing, and it keeps getting better! Being able to get DLC from the Archive is a massive W as well!
RIP XBOX 360, all those memories, 2005-2024
Might have to look into this, have been meaning to revisit a bunch of old Xbox 360 games for a while now, primarily Lost Odyssey as seen in this video, but also a bunch of other games such as Blue Dragon and Enchanted Arms (for some old school FromSoftware gaming).
the funny thing is the store still works on rgh if you have a custom dashboard manifest
Very good tutorial bro.
Now you should play call of Duty 3 (2006) on xenia & I am sure you will like that😁
with sonic unleashed(as well as sonic generations) in my experience in RPCS3, it runs great, provided it dosent crash, which happens pretty often for me, i assume its my cpu, since its easily the weakest link in my PC(second to ram), which sucks since i cant upgrade without getting a new motherboard since i have the best one for my motherboard
this is actually my actual favourite actual video you've actually ever made
1:23 definitely not trying to dodge a lawsuit
Or he genuinely doesn't support it
@@EliRetroVHS642 no, he’s just trying to dodge a lawsuit he clearly pirates games, nobody goes out of their way to backup their physical game copies unless it’s to upload it online for pirates.
@@bizzy1960 Not necessarily you forget disc dumping
@@bizzy1960 Not everyone pirates when using emulation there's thise that use disc dumping which is how your suppose to do it. You can't just assume everyone who uses emulation pirates it's not a pirating tool despite people using it for that
Seeing Muta giggling and getting giddy by playing Xbox 360 games reminds me of the good ol' days. Late nights playing with friends or single player games when I should've been in bed on a school night. I'd wake some mornings during the summer or weekends with Xbox 360 still going, warming up my room. I think I've owned 3 OG White Xbox 360s, two of them had the "red ring of death" and I got them serviced by Microsoft only to have issue return. My last Xbox 360, which I still proudly own to this day, is the limited edition Halo Reach edition. I dusted it off and brought it of the box just to boot it up and buy some games one last time before the market place closed. I remember going to the malls and visiting the local Game Stop to window shop or pick up a rated "M for Mature" game only to get denied by the person behind the counter. However, the cool sales person would look the other way and sell the games to me. I remember late night "Pre-order parties and the Halo 3 Launch night". Also met my first gf playing xbox 360 games doing split screen gaming on a variety of games. Only wish we knew we were in the good times before we we'd left. The Xbox 360 will forever be my favorite gaming console, thanks for making this video Muta!
Recently got my new PC. Been playing a bunch of childhood classics as well as a few I missed out on. The early '00s are still goated.
The Xbox 360 has been my favorite console since it released
RIP
You were the King of gaming in your prime and will always be remembered ❤
sonic goatleashed thumbnail let’s fucking go!!!!
I played thru the entire campaign of gears of war 2 on Xenia w steamdeck. 60-70fps with periodic flickering. So much fun
Don’t used game stores still sell Xbox 360 games?
Yes retro game stores
No, they put them all into a burnpit by Microsoft’s orders
@@joshdominguez341
I also have an arcade fighting controller for the 360 (made by a company called HORI) if you know those guys!
Not GameStop, which for some reason still sells Wii games, but you can still sell them 360 games (why would you though?) because that generation is considered retro now which is crazy to think about
@@LoSubstance
I even still have my 360 arcade stick made by HORI!
(They’re pretty cool!)
Way ahead of you on that one, gonna try Xenia on my Steam Deck later today
Meanwhile in a underdeveloped county: a ps3 that hasn't been dusted in a decade running like a champ
WTF does that have to do with anything? Did you even watch the video?
Im computer dumb & never had my own personal PC. One day i will get a PC & run emulators & have fun playing games i havent played in decades.
ahahahha this has to be like the ultimate thumbnail streak - looking real sassy on this one
I saw my gamertag, thanks muta! The 360 was good to me, I'm glad I was able to grace your friends list along the way bless u
Xbox 360 has fallen
Billions must emulate
Still can play 360 games on the newest xbox and xbox one
Used to replay Black Ops 2 Campaign on harder difficulties and when I played it for the first time. The game ended with a sick rock concert of all the characters. Ah the memories.
This all happened because of me getting and enjoying the Xbox 360
If SEGA/Sonic Team had a port or remake of Unleashed for PC I buy it in a instant
BRO FINALLY REVERTED BACK TO HIS GOOD CONTENT I FUKN LOVE IT HOPEFULLY IT STAYS THIS WAY
Karl urban from wish
I managed to get some games before the shutdown. The ones I already got was Call of Duty Classic and dlc for Batman: Arkham Origins. During the weeks of it, I got dlc content for Batman: Arkham City and Sonic '06 (my brother asked me to get it along with the $5 game). The games I got were: Alone in the Dark, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate- Deluxe Edition, Bionic Commando, Bionic Commando: Rearned, Burnout: Crash, Darkstalkers Resurrection, Gun, Metro 2033, Metro: Last Light, Mortal Kombat Kollection Arcade, Red Faction: Guerrilla (along with the prequel dlc), Remember Me, Resident Evil 4, Street Fighter II' HF, Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition, Street Fighter X Tekken, and The Chronicles of Reddick: Assault on Dark Athena. Pretty much most of the games I got because of the sale and were very cheap and better off paying them like this instead of paying for an expensive physical copy from Amazon/eBay.
“Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free You are a pirate!”
hahahahahaha, goated reference bro
This comment just brought me back to my childhood, holy.
Lost Odyssey and the Gears franchise are still playable on the modern Xboxes through that backwards compatibility program, and they are also still purchaseable (or use a disc on the boxes that have the drive). Since the backwards compatible games are still using the X360's Xbox Live, so I think most of those features are going to stick around for the OG hardware as long as they still sell those BC games.
Any thoughts on Mr Beast being exposed as a fraud?
Can’t he need to wait a bit more for any other evidence to see if there is anything else for the saga
A total lack of surprise
Bro, just found that out, now he's gonna share it to everyone like he's the only one he knows.
Ah yes, one guy on Twitter is an undeniable proof, quick! Cancel mr beast before people debunk it!
muta is deleting comments
I'll definitely have to try to figure out the patches because I'm specifically trying to run Sonic Unleashed and can't get out of Apotos without some kind of graphics crash
If you’re using Xenia Canary, I’d recommend setting the graphics to Vulkan
There’s two options for Vulkan, where setting the renderer to “FBO” favors more performance, but does mess up some of the textures, like the Werehog fur while setting it to “FSI” fixes the broken textures more, but sacrifices performance.
"oh boy, my fav linux bro put up a vid about 360 emulation!"
Muta: "We're on windows today bois!"
😢
Oh my god, this answers all my questions. I bought an Xbox 360 game recently on Xbox Series X and when I tried to log into it with a live 360, it wouldn't allow me. It came up error, logging in, please uninstall the game and reinstall the game back to fix it. But when I did this, it still came up with error. So this explains a whole lot to me. Now to be honest with you, I think Microsoft has some explaining to do because I think they should send around emails to people explaining this. Because I didn't know anything about this and I just wasted money on a game that I cannot log into. So it's disgraceful.
When will mutha talk about Mr beast? Hit the like
we already emulated mr beast
The best last update would be the one that allowed you to pick any dashboard from the xbox’s life cycle and release an app for windows that allows you to play any xbox 360 disk with a dvd player on your pc and emulate xbox live like how they do for their newer consoles.
Claim your here before 5 minutes ticket right now 🤓
Can’t even be first and still begging for likes 😂
Literally found this video on the 5 minute mark
5 min mark too, also the 360 in the background just chillin
I started emulating XBox 360 a couple of years ago, so I have had the privilege to watch Xennia's compatibility list grow. It's not perfect, but I have 28 solid titles to play that run with little to no hitch. Many of my favorite titles included. The hitches can be worked out with settings adjustments. I've personally never had a physical library that large with any of my consoles.
Hopefully with the marketplace closure more love will be sent Xennia's way and improvements will come. For comparison, I also emulate PS3 and have over a hundred titles to play using it's most popular emulator. There are many more I just don't have interest in but that are bangers.
I've had good success with an AMD 5600G cpu and a PowerColor RX6600 gpu.
Games preservation is important. Emulation is important. And when these companies decide they're no longer going to support a console, frankly they should be forced to make all their developer resources public and give up their right to prosecute anyone for using it "illegally". They get the full lifespan of the console and when it's no longer profitable it becomes public domain. I think that's perfectly fair.
Illegality =\= unethical and/or immoral. (And we’re talking about old games, nothing serious like the death penalty)
Still sad about Vimm’s Lair
Muta being a sonic fan is a W
Now if OG Xbox can get a bit better. Theres some good choices on their store but so many thatd be nice to emulate
Thanks mate, because of your video I managed to buy me Child of Light and Dark Messiah Elements on discount for 6 euros, otherwise I'd have not realised the store was closing.
