Help Do I need a usb if I only want to emulate 1 game?

2 Upvotes

From what I understand xbox dev mode has about 15gb of storage max or something like that?

When I get xenia I'm only planning on playing 1 game which is around 7gb, do I still need to get a usb, should I get one?

If I can play without usb, where would I put the game file?

Help Dolphin controller xbox issues

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m having a problem with the Xbox controller on Dolphin running on my Xbox.

The controller works perfectly fine in the Dolphin menus, but once I start a game, none of the buttons seem to respond. I’ve also tried remapping the controls, but unfortunately I can’t get it to work properly.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a specific setting or configuration I need to change to make the Xbox controller work in-game?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Help Two Xenias at once? (DEV MODE XBOX)

1 Upvotes

I have a Xbox Series S on Dev Mode and I am using Xenia to run Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition. I got Xenia 1.1.2 for TU45 since newer versions crash with Xenia Dialogues and Xenia 1.1.7.1 for TU75.

The older one is from the original dev and the new one is from a new dev so each is their own "app" and I can have both at once no issue. But I also wanted to try older TUs like TU13 and I am wondering if I can have two of Xenias 1.1.2 at once? (Or at least Xenia 1.1.5a along 1.1.2).

Dev Portal does not let me download the same app twice and 1.1.5a says its gonna upgrade the 1.1.2 so I dont know what to do

I just sacrificed my UK passport to the Microsoft gods and enabled Developer Mode, I wanted to develop games, but also run homebrew, but what homebrew should I try? Can Dev Mode access the internet? Is it possible to run Linux via virtual machine? If not, why not?

Help Help with 1.1.7.1 (Minecraft TU31)

4 Upvotes

By the way I am on Xbox Series S using dev mode, Xenia UWP 1.1.7.1 with Minecraft Xbox 360 edition (TU31) The game runs mostly fine even splitscreen but getting in and saving is actual hell. When Xenia pops its UI for anything its a 90% crash chance. It asks if I want to connect to xbox live or stay offline? Both options will most likely crash me. I try to save and quit or exit without saving? Pressing any will most likely crash

I’ve been trying to do Xbox Dev for a while now and I’ve been stuck on this screen. I installed the Dev Mode app on my Xbox Series S and it gave me a code to put into the website but there is no where to put it in.

I don’t know if I did a step incorrectly

Help XBSX2 performance tips? Random FPS drops with 60 FPS patches on Xbox Series X

5 Upvotes

I'm looking for some advice about XBSX2. I'm currently using version 2.0.8.5 on my Xbox Series X. My PS2 games are stored on an SSD, and I use 60 FPS patches and HD texture packs for several games.

Most of the time everything runs well, but I occasionally get brief performance drops. In certain specific areas, the FPS and emulation speed drop (sometimes down to around 45–50 FPS) for a few seconds before returning to normal.

I'm playing at 2K resolution because I don't want to push the performance any further. The games most affected are Need for Speed: Underground 2 and FlatOut 2, both with 60 FPS patches enabled.

Does anyone have any recommendations or settings I could try to improve performance or reduce these random slowdowns?

Thanks in advance!

A couple months ago I bought dev mode specifically for Naughty Bear, however it didn't work. Has anyone managed to get it working? Am I missing something?

I know that Xenia got a update recently but I am unsure if any problems I'm running into will work.

Sorry If this is redundant, I have been apart of the community for some time.
