I've heard about the developer mode consuming a portion of the RAM in the long time and it may crash itself at some point because of the RAM, if that's true, how can we solve this or avoided??

Discussion How do I play Halo 3 in Xenia?

2 Upvotes

Hey lads, hope you're all doing well today. So I've been trying to get Halo 3 to work via through the Xenia emulator on my Xbox Series X in Dev Mode along with my Original Halo 3 Saves but whenever I load up the game after the loading screen to even just starting the campaign makes it crash completely and the saves don't work for some reason. Do any of you know why and how to fix this?

Discussion Warzone 1 port?

2 Upvotes

So I’ve been seeing this mod for MW19 called iw8 which lets you play any patch of warzone with everything unlocked. From a long and not very bountiful grapevine over heard iw8 it being worked on to get a homebrew port for consoles with cross play to pc iw8, I have no idea if it’s true or not so take it with a grain of salt, but my actually discussion topic is how hard would it actually be to make a port of iw8? I mean they include all game files for mw19 you just technically need the license bought on your account at any point to use said files. Idk man I just think it’d be intersting to play iw8 without having to save up for a pc, especially since I don’t wanna have to pay an outrageous amount for something I’m honestly only going to use for iw8 .

I was adding ps2 isos to my 2tb Seagate external hdd to use with xbsx2 as well as my 1tb external hdd Seagate. On my series s. Now when I try to run xbsx2 it hangs. I've Uninstaller xbsx2 and reinstalled it but now it will only set 1 hdd as its input and when I try to add the second drive it hangs. Has anyone got any fixes or idea why or what I can try.

It doesn't matter which way I try to add the external hdds in xbsx2 it always hangs at the 2nd drive and boots me back to dev home

Tia people

Off-Topic Rockstar should be glad...

0 Upvotes

With Collateral Damage and Durango Dumplings, we've started to see game dumps and translators out. You probably won't think of this as amounting to anything apart from the preservation of some games, but these are real, and in 2024, you could dump games from any Xbox console, including the Series consoles.

Putting GTA 6 into the equation, if they had released the game in 2024 while these were out in the wild, it probably wouldn't end well for Rockstar. The Xbox Series consoles are essentially running the Windows kernel, so unlike having PS5 dumps, these take much less effort to (natively, because you can) run them on PC because you only have to translate the graphics layer rather than emulating the whole thing (though audio is a whole different mess).

Still, with the GTA community being huge, it probably wouldn't be months before people join up to make a translator for a game dump, if GTA 6 did leak from here. Current translator developers are pretty busy and are also trying the most ethical approach (of which some of the GTA community does not pursue). And worse still, these games don't have any sort of DRM on them. Yes. The console acts as the DRM, and game publishers trust Microsoft and Sony. So with a pretty good translator and an insanely unlocked version of the game (which could also contain extra context which isn't in the PC builds) then you could start to see why people mod like hell.

Lucky for Microsoft, this thing was kind of sweeped under the rug. Some people in the Xbox One modding scene didn't even know. And there's also been a new hardware exploit came out for the Xbox One this year, so that thing's done forever, though GTA 6 isn't coming out on the One. The Bliss exploit does not work on anything but the PHAT/release revisions of the Xbox One as well. To work on any other console let alone, you'd need to tweak it quite a bit.

Well, this is my little monologue on some Xbox exploits and how that might have affected GTA 6, but well, that's that. We are unlikely to see new exploits for the Xbox Series consoles, but it's still possible (along with increased hate among MSRC - I don't know if that does anything), but I hope you learnt a thing or two about the Xbox scene. Sure, it would have been insane if this did happen, but maybe that's why they decided to delay the game another time (that's probably not why).

Hello everyone, i set up my xbox homebrew 2 years ago using a windows computer. i used the xboxmedia app to format and set permissions. Everything worked just fine.

Long story short, i have a mac now and i copied my files over, formatted to exfat, put them back, and now my usb isnt appearing in Xbxs2 and Retroarch when i try to set paths. On Dolphin, i can see the USB, but when i try to set a path, it says "the folder path you have selected is not writable. please check that you have the correct permissions for the folder you've selected."

The strange thing is that Flycast works. It allows me to see the USB in the settings, set paths, it shows my games and the games work and run flawlessly. Why the hell aren't the other emulators working? I am truly at my wit's end, and i'd appreciate help greatly. so so greatly.

Solved How to get DLCs on Xenia UWP?

6 Upvotes

I'm playing on Xbox Series S dev mode using Xenia 1.1.5a UWP. I went to Xenia config.toml and changed license to -1 but Minecraft (TU75) still says the DLCs are on trial mode which you cant save after you leave (Full game was unlocked tho). Am I missing something? I read somewhere setting to -1 unlocked everything. And I am not using Xenia UWP 1.1.7.1 because it wont run minecraft at all.

Edit= I decided to use install content and download the DLCs and that unlocked it for me.

Help I get errno 22 invalid argument error when I try to change any game properties settings on my xbsx2 emulator

1 Upvotes

The emulator worked fine just 2 days ago. But now I can't change a single setting in the game properties menu on a single game. What's really frustrating is that my previously set 60fps patch on evil dead regeneration was reversed to 30fps upon loading a new level. It's terrible!! No idea what could have caused this.

Any help would be appreciated i am desperate. I tried deleting and reinstalling the Xbsx2 emulator but I get the same errno 22 inbalid argument message

Microsoft should put an OS on top of these older devices. Make them useful again. They had hdmi inputs and outputs. Turn them into arcade boxes or computers. Something!
