if you followed my tutorial 6 months ago and now you want to change to this method please do the following steps:
1. install xenia from EmuDeck Manage Emulator
2. go to Steam rom manager and put it into classic mode
3. Double-click on Microsoft Xbox360 -Xenia under parsers then on the right side under Executable click browse and navigate to
this location: run/media/deck/24aa2581-bd87-48cb-9451-815e22a0ca33/emulation/tools/launchers/xenia.sh (select xenia.sh file)
to find this location - after you click browse: First click on home from the left side screen, then click the small left arrow on the top area of the screen, next click the small square box now you will see the run folder. then follow the location on above.
4. Click Save change
5. Inside Steam rom manager re-parser your xbox360 games and re-click add to steam.
6. you can now delete the xenia folder you downloaded 6 months ago from my old video. Now, your xbox360 game will be launched with this new method shown in this video.
Is this something we should do if we are getting an error while launching the game? My error is “faulting thread name: xthread01d8”
I tried ufc undisputed 3 when it comes to the game i get black screen any tips for config tried changing constant cpu from false to true but same result
Great info. I also saw the PS2 tutorial, and this guy has made an awesome job, thanks.
No problem enjoy gaming !
That white steam deck looks amazing
Finally i can play a proper forza game on steam deck
Your videoes are quite helpful. What about XBLA games? Do we still have to do a standalone install?
Great video and straight to the point as always!
thank you !
It works FF 13, thanks for the update
Would you do a tutorial on multi disc games like Dead Space and Mass Effect for Xenia?
Tried playing fable 2 with this version but it wont pass the launching stage it just starts and stop nor sure what it is i did wrong
THANK YOU SO MUCH! After so many years I'm finally playing Lost Odyssey
Np dude enjoy your gaming !
Do you still need to create dummy files for your XBLA roms to get them to work? And if so, do you need to set them up for DLC packs, or just leave them as they are? Sorry, I'm new to Xbox 360 emulation and I'm not too familiar with setting up XBLA roms in Xenia.
No sorry I have this video for xbla setup

that shell is nice!
Thank you !
YO! Thanks, Man! I've yet to get a 360 Emulator so I might have to jump on that one!
You should! but still, lots of games just don't run well.
I'm about to follow your steps because I really want to play Gears of War judgment
great !
That white Deck looks sick 😃
thank you it does.
great vid. question about Gears of war series do any of them run? i have tried to get gears 2 to run but have been failed. the screen is black when i start the campaign. i dont even think the patches are active that i have tried to apply. the only emulator i have had work is Dolphin which is amazing
gear of war 2 works but you need to copy computer save files to your steam deck then it will fix the black screen issue. you can download my pc game save file under this video desc: ruclips.net/video/tqK-4k3NcbM/видео.html and paste it into you steam deck. I even show how to do it in this video.
@@ED4T great ill give it a try thanks
How does Gears 2 work? I heard that when you click Campaign you are in a black screen
it has graphical issues.
Ayo, I recently tried to set up fable 2 using this version of xenia, did the d3d12 change, still ended up having some weirdly intense moments of slow down. Is that something that goes away (like other emulators when they have to load up textures and such and stutter at the start then become smooth), or am I doing something wrong? It just looks like it runs so much smoother for you
I only changed d3d12 the game just lag for first 2 to 3 minutes after that I will just have a very smooth play. make sure your deck fps limiter is off.
@@ED4T thanks man! Appreciate your videos and how you respond to people's questions
Thank you , Happy gaming !
@@ED4T sorry to bother you again, quick question, still having some issues with textures pretty intensely. Once I get past the point of being a child my character's textures break and turn black, the dog having similar issues. I tried a couple different versions of proton thinking maybe that might help, but no luck yet. Any advice? Up until that point it actually was running smooth
Have you try to turn off some graphic feature inside the config file ? I have a video show how to do that.

Wow, great tutorial as always, 3 mins and packed with great information, not a second wasted. Outstanding! Question, on the parsers part, do i leave the other emulators switch off , and just turn on the 2 for xenia?
Thank you, If you only play xbox360 just need to turn on two for Xenia. But if you have other emulators to play then you have to turn the corresponding ones on.
@@ED4T I remember i turned on other ones before and it overwrote my thumbnails /coverart. So i had to redo each of the thumbnails, cover art again. 🤣
Got Xenia installed , Fable 2 is laggy , switched to d3d12 and tested vulkan too, still laggy. You lucked out 😀
@brethbk69 just let it laggy for couple minutes then it will become smooth.
You can try disable some graphical feature under the configure files.
I have this video show how to do that

sounds like a lot of games are having a black screen issue, we're gonna have to wait for an update but this is a good start
native Linux xenia is all we need.
Really cool, I've been waiting for it for so long.
But I'll be really curious to know how to launch xbla games !
I've never seen this kind of format of a game.
What do you think about it ?
here you go XBLA guide :

@@ED4T
Thanks a lot for your help man, I'll try to do it today !!
But my god, whoua...!!
That looks particuly long and complicated if you have lot of games !
Hi, for Fable 2 which is the better GPU renderer, Vulkan or d312?
Vulkan is more stable
Curious to see how Native Xenia performs, hope we see it sometime sooner rather than later.
My 360 Dream Deck title (Geometry Wars 2) seems to perform the same, but it’s so close, still impressive. And it’s immaculately more gorgeous on OLED Deck.
yeah the native Linux will be a game-changer but just hope the dev are working on it...
How'd you get it to work? I'm having trouble setting up XBLA games, I love Geometry Wars 2. (Edit) I actually got it to work, but only in EmulationStation but it's really dim, anyway to turn the brightness up?
@@brethbk69to fix that empty dark image, I’d change the GPU setting in the canary.config.toml file found in Emudeck’s Xenia folder.
He briefly goes over that here: 0:35
It may run much slower than Vulkan, but the image is fixed.
@@Rashomon20s Thank you, that did the trick! I forgot i switched it to vulkan attempting to play Fable 2 lol. Also, i can get xbla games to boot from emudeck, but not from stand alone xenia emulator. Do i put the entire folder structure of xbla games or just the folder with the long series of numbers?
@brethbk69 I have made a video for

Do you have any suggestions on configuring multiple disk games? I really dislike having 4 Lost Odysseys in menu and I can't figure out how to create a playlist for Xenia?
What I do is only put disk one in the rom folder until you get to the point in the game where it asks you to switch disks, then swap out the rom file. You might need to rename the rom so it matches
Can you do a tutorial on how to swap the other xenia canary we manually installed to this version? I tried to swap to this version but lost all my saves and dlc so I went back to the other version.
Update:
the pinned message explained what I asked but doesn't address saved games or dlc.
To transfer saves and dlc goto:
/home/deck/Emulation/tools/xenia_canary/
and copy the content folder to:
/home/deck/Emulation/roms/xbox360/
For skate 3 i launched the game on gaming mode but it says title failed to launch, i would really appreciate aome help, i want to get it to run, thanks😃
For me it says “there was an issue trying to install Xenia” any help?
Hi,i have Oled deck and xenia emu,i tryed in your metod and trough emudeck some games works with little freeze like MArvel Vs Capcom 3,i don't know why Hydro Thunder Hurricane in many videos i saw works fine at +30-40fps but on my deck it play 2-3fps :(
Is there some option in emulator or downscale in any way to run it 30fps?
have you try to change GPU bwetween vulkan and d3d12? also, you can try to modify the patch files.
i have a video for the patch files.:ruclips.net/video/3jPSkoXS0BQ/видео.html
Thanks so much for this, I've just updated my Xenia setup on my SteamDeck and it's working well!
I noticed you said the GPU setting in xenia-canaray-config.toml is game-specific. Changing it to d312 for NBA Street Homecourt improved the graphics somewhat for me. But is there a way to leave the GPU setting on Vulkan, at least for other games that work better with Vulkan? Because it seems like changing it to d312 changes it for all of my ROMs, not just NBA Street Homecourt. I'm wondering if there's a way to keep it customized on a per-game basis, or do we have to keep track and change this setting manually, every time we pick a title to play?
i dont think you can do this on steam deck to setup different gpu settings for different games.but this can be done on Windows.
I have a question that I can't figure out. So I have some XBLA arcade games. You know the "digital only" games. They are not in ISO format, they are in 7z, Zip or rar. I drop them on the deck, and nothing shows. What format do these games need to be in? Can they be zipped, or ?
Sorry for late reply. I believe I showed everything in this video.

@@ED4T Thanks, I tried a few and I got them working....
Hello! I followed this tutorial, and tried playing Dead or Alive 4 on on the Steam Deck, only to just straight up get a black screen. I even went thru multiple Xenia files, and changed things like putting the gps to “d3d12” and even which proton to use, but good. Any chance you can help out with this?
hi, you can try this old version xenia? I did run dead or alive 4 with this old method xenia. I think the old version has better compatitlibty over the new method. but setup process is alittle bit complicated. pls check this video for the old xenia setup:
ruclips.net/video/Lhzv13vdg2U/видео.html
@@ED4T Gotcha, I'll definitely check it out, thanks!
@@ED4T Yeah, same result, no good in the end, unfortunately.
If my buddy and I both have steamdecks and want to play coop on a game, is that possible?
yes you can. it's just like 2 pcs. you can do coop online or local
Just did it. When I go to play a game it says wine not installed. Changed the emulator to the proton one and it says proton not installed? Any suggestions?
it will install proton automatically. when you launch the game just wait for about 30 to 45 sec dont close it it will download proton automatically, you dont need to change emulator to proton.
Thank you! I was having trouble getting the games to boot, and it turns out I hadn't installed xenia. How do I add dlc to the 360 games? Like the GOTY version for Fallout 3?
Most of dlc are not working with pc. It’s only works with xbox360 console itself. Xenia is still on its early stage of development.
@@ED4T Okk, thanks! I'm playing on my steam deck. Really enjoying itm
where do u get ur roms
I tried to launch the steam rom manager after copied those rom to the folder but it is not launching. I clicked yes to close steam but the rom manager is not showing up. Why?
this video will fix your issue.
ruclips.net/video/P9tfDxEN1ag/видео.html
Can you do split screen play on games like call of duty? On xenia or is it too complicated with adding more then one controller?
It's a small screen why the fuck would this be a thing.
@@LegendarySkypenis called a docking station and a bigger screen bud...
Hi! How do you make Fable 2 running so smooth ? I did everything I could, install Xenia through Emudeck, install and set cryotools to 4GB VRAM, changed cfg to d3d12, I tried even lower resolution in cfg file but still cannot get to stable framerates.
At start of the game I run about 15fps and dropped to 5fps in more crowded places.
I tried to apply patches but there are no options for Fable 2, only disabling AA and that doesnt change much for me.
Any other tip what can I try? I have OLED steamdeck with latest stable update. Thanks!
the game is slow at start but after 3 to 4 minutes it will reach 30 to 45 fps.
@ED4T It won't in my case. I tried let it run for 15 minutes, even finished the first part of game with those low fps and nothing changed for me after time. Anything I can try to do ? Or can you give us guide or show changes that you do to fable2 specifically to run this good ? :)
anychance you could try emulating LEGO lord of the rings from the xbox 360?
I followed the tutorial from 6 months ago before I saw that you posted an updated version and now I think something isn’t working. Can you show how to reverse what you did in that other video? I think the issue is with the “executable” part
if you followed my tutorial 6 months ago and now you want to change to this method do following steps:
1. install xenia from EmuDeck Manage Emulator
2. go to Steam rom manager and put it into classic mode

Can't Wait to Play Halo 3 ODST.
how did you make Fable 2 run 30 fps so smooth? Did you make some tweeks or make changes in emulator settings?
Let it run for couple minutes it will get better. Also you can disable graphical options in the configure files.

Hi didnt work on me. Follow this New video (Not the older video) and did the steps… but no succes.
I didnt Change anything to vulkan neither other things, Just follow video. I saved my rom ISO on primary (sd card) but needed to créate files (emulation , roms etc) after this parsed and run game on game mode… and a error Message says “ unable to mount selected file” please help!!
I am not sure why you have to manually create emuatlion / roms folder. they are automatically created when you were installing EmuDeck. did you actually installed emu deck onto your internal storage but manually created. emulation folder onyour SD Card? you can try to do a custom rest for your emudeck make sure you pick sd card when your rest it.
Thanks i CHANGEd path , to Internal card, ISO file. Then. Now WHen start, a black screen Shows and Nothing happen. I use protón… any idea??
Fable 2 white screens for me when i try nd start it even after changing it to D3D12, any idea why? i really only want 360 emulation for fable 2

I tried to play Minecraft Xbox 360 and it gave me an error message (can't remember what it said, it just said something about a bad iso), tried to extract the iso to see if that would work and it ended up creating 20+ games that had nothing to do with minecraft (and not all of them were exactly the kind of thing you want to play around the youngins if you catch my drift), can someone pls help ;-;
You don’t have to extract ISO. Xenia will read iso directly. You can try modify GPU=vulkan

@@ED4T I did some more looking and found out that the error I received was due to a pirated iso, even though I did technically pirate the rom, I already own a copy (2 actually) of the game I was attempting to emulate (Minecraft), is there a cracked Xenia version I can use?
Hello, does this xenia need Bios? If yes, where can we find It ??
you dont need biso files for xbox360 emulations.
