If anyone wants to play Blue Dragon, you need to edit the xenia-canary.config.toml with these changes: (Thanks to Pixelacos Gameplays) (Proton GE 8-15 was used) gpu="d3d12" d3d12_clear_memory_page_state = true mount_scratch=true mount_cache=true Alternatively, if you don't want to change the config for Blue Dragon specifically, you can add this game (or any emulated game for that matter) as a shortcut to Steam (by editing the properties of a Non Steam Shortcut) , THEN on top of doing that, you can add arguments to the end of the shortcut's "Target" which will temporarily change the xenia config but just for that session. Example: Start In: Path to Xenia Canary Folder Target: "Path to Xenia Canary EXE" "Path to ISO" --fullscreen --gpu="d3d12" --mount_cache=true --mount_scratch=true --d3d12_clear_memory_page_state=true Here is my completed example (specific to my Steam Deck): Start In: /home/deck/Emulator Storage/Xbox 360/Xenia Canary/ Target: "/home/deck/Emulator Storage/Xbox 360/Xenia Canary/xenia_canary.exe" "/home/deck/Emulator Storage/Xbox 360/Games/Blue Dragon Disk 1.iso" --fullscreen --gpu="d3d12" --mount_cache=true --mount_scratch=true --d3d12_clear_memory_page_state=true
@@blabony No I don't know but I'm sure it's possible. I'm almost done disk one so once I finish that I'll come back here and let you know. I think you can simiply load up disk two and it should see all the saves from disk one.
For those Who hace the flickering error that appears at the end of the video, you should go to the xenia config and in the gpu chance vulkan to "d3d12"
I downloaded Xenia on windows for the steam deck and the framerate was insanely better then emudeck and running Xenia on Linux. I wouldn’t waste my time trying to play Xbox 360 games if it’s not on windows
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for your work. A question about the specific experimental builds. Xenia recently updated their system, have you had a chance to try it out?
Why we cant just have these games natively ported to pc is beyond me. I'd pick up all the gears of war and dynasty warriors gundam games in a heart beat.
Very nice guide, i have never attempted to emulate Xbox360 until now and on my SteamDeck, so i take this emulator isnt like others where you set your iso directory and it lists all of your games within a menu and you select which game you want to run, which is rather odd having to do this for each individual game. I got Gears 2 working fine, now I wonder if it can run trainer files with t the game?
I never used emudeck. I always setup emulators individually. Good job to devs who made emudeck but it's not for me, I don't emulate that many games, just few.
Agree with you. after been using EmuDeck for a while, I think if anyone only need couple emulators on deck just do indvidual emulator itself which are easier and less buggy than EmuDeck.
This is such a great video and GoW2 loads up and I can play it in short stints 😢 as it freezes and resets the deck after about 30 - 40 secs of screen play. It looks great 30-32 FPS but just freezes. I've tried Vulkan and D3D12 but neither make a difference. It just freezes I'm sure it's a setting somewhere I've missed or disabled. I've got Vram at 4gb as it was running at 20+ FPS and then freezing there after. Any idea on why it's freezing as it would be great to fix this. I've disabled most of the patch options to run as minimal as possible. Any help appreciated with this. Many thanks
Would there also be a benefit to getting RPCS3 as a standalone proton build to run PS3 games, or wouldn't it make any difference? More importantly, will this method work on the standard Steam Deck, or will I need to upgrade to the OLED model?
there is no performance difference . But standalone doesn’t need emudeck and you always get the latest update at first hand. This works for both steam lcd and oled. I have made a standalone RPCS3 video too. Steam Deck: Standalone (Without EmuDeck)RPCS3 PS3 th-cam.com/video/xk7BRcrIOfM/w-d-xo.html
bruh. im on windows os on steam deck. and i cant find “add to steam” option. and when i do it manually on Big screen mode, i am unable to find “compatibility” tab in the settings menu.
Thanks for sharing the fix for Gears of War 2. I tried it out today and played for an hour but the flashing white elements can be really annoying. Hopefully we find a fix for that.
Hi great video and really helped with GofW2 but I'm also getting the white flashing items in screen like floor etc. Is there a video yet on how to fix this 🤞 that would be awesome. A link to the video would really help if done. Many thanks 👍
I tried it this way and once I switch to gaming mode and click on “Halo 4.exe”, it crashes immediately and I’m back in my library. This has happened with 2 other games. Can anyone help? Thanks!!!
whenever I install the version mentioned in the video I click one button on the menu and my steam deck is unresponsive after that the only way to restart it is to wait until it dies
I must be doing SOMETHING wrong 😢 I watched both your vids faithfully about Xbox 360 and tried both and they both booted with errors. I feel sooo dumb lol followed to the T I thought 😭🤦🏽♂️
I'm trying to get Saints row 1 working in gaming mode, How do i get past the black screen issue ONLY on gaming mode. The game works great in desktop but gaming mode i just wanna click to open the extracted .xex file but i get a black screen.
@ED4T yes I used the linked version and followed the video the issue is that it starts to run for about two seconds but before the game appears it just goes back to the library
Has anyone gotten the nested exception encountered error message when running games (Specifically Last NTSTATUS)? For context trying to run a Fifa game, which starts out fine with credits, opening video, etc. But when you press start on the main menu prompt, the error appears.
After a few weeks with my ROG ally the painting was getting dark. Would you say that this white cover will be an issue long term or is it easy to clean?
Thank you so much! worked like a charm. But a small question, what should I do when I reach the end of disc 1 in lost odyssey? should I put all discs into the same folder? treat them as separate games with separate files?
I put all 4 discs into the same folder. then at game completion changed the iso path from "...../Lost Odyssey/LostOdysseyDisc1.ISO" to "...../Lost Odyssey/LostOdysseyDisc2.ISO" never need to go back a disc so you only change it once and youre done
I've tried and it didn't work when I want to type the keyboard doesn't appear it freezes The screen cannot show the keyboard and I do not have a memory card I only use the internal memory in SteamDeck
Thanks for this tutorial, you explain every detail in depth 👍
My pleasure!
Wow this is still working in November so thanks for the video
If anyone wants to play Blue Dragon, you need to edit the xenia-canary.config.toml with these changes:
(Thanks to Pixelacos Gameplays) (Proton GE 8-15 was used)
gpu="d3d12"
d3d12_clear_memory_page_state = true
mount_scratch=true
mount_cache=true
Alternatively, if you don't want to change the config for Blue Dragon specifically, you can add this game (or any emulated game for that matter) as a shortcut to Steam (by editing the properties of a Non Steam Shortcut) , THEN on top of doing that, you can add arguments to the end of the shortcut's "Target" which will temporarily change the xenia config but just for that session. Example:
Start In:
Path to Xenia Canary Folder
Target:
"Path to Xenia Canary EXE" "Path to ISO" --fullscreen --gpu="d3d12" --mount_cache=true --mount_scratch=true --d3d12_clear_memory_page_state=true
Here is my completed example (specific to my Steam Deck):
Start In:
/home/deck/Emulator Storage/Xbox 360/Xenia Canary/
Target:
"/home/deck/Emulator Storage/Xbox 360/Xenia Canary/xenia_canary.exe" "/home/deck/Emulator Storage/Xbox 360/Games/Blue Dragon Disk 1.iso" --fullscreen --gpu="d3d12" --mount_cache=true --mount_scratch=true --d3d12_clear_memory_page_state=true
thank you very much ! the game runs perfectly using this adjustment. Do you have any idea how to swap discs later on ?
@@blabony No I don't know but I'm sure it's possible. I'm almost done disk one so once I finish that I'll come back here and let you know. I think you can simiply load up disk two and it should see all the saves from disk one.

I was trying to do this for Black ops 2, doesn't seem to play it unfortunately but thanks for the tutorial
Thanks for the video, I got it working thanks to you I hope they’ll fix it for us steamos/linux users
Great to hear that .
For those Who hace the flickering error that appears at the end of the video, you should go to the xenia config and in the gpu chance vulkan to "d3d12"
Thank you, mate. I hope you'll do also tutorials for add games from Epic, Ubisoft, etc.
That's the plan!
I downloaded Xenia on windows for the steam deck and the framerate was insanely better then emudeck and running Xenia on Linux. I wouldn’t waste my time trying to play Xbox 360 games if it’s not on windows
Yeah that’s true because they Xenia domes have native Linux venison on SD.
I tried…I failed 😂
Thank you again for another really helpful video. 🙂🙂
Thank you !
yes! thank you! so done with emudeck
Hope you like it!
Thanks as always, Man!
Always! my boy
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for your work. A question about the specific experimental builds. Xenia recently updated their system, have you had a chance to try it out?
Thank you. Yes I have tried with last version it won’t work on SD.Because the new release was not built for Linux. Only update for windows version.
Why we cant just have these games natively ported to pc is beyond me. I'd pick up all the gears of war and dynasty warriors gundam games in a heart beat.
Great video but we have very different ideas on what is playable.
The best emaulation channel on the net.
thanks dude

I got Gears 2 working fine, now I wonder if it can run trainer files with t the game?
Great to hear all that. i don't think trainer will work with Xenia emulation. it only works with pc games.
I never used emudeck. I always setup emulators individually. Good job to devs who made emudeck but it's not for me, I don't emulate that many games, just few.

Hi Man, great content! Do you think gears of war 2 works at least in horde mode or in multiplayer offline vs bots?
Even with the save file, once I start, the game crashes once I turn toward the open courtyard. Anyone else seeing the same?
Another awesome tutorial video! 😎👌 I wonder if using the PS3 emulator apart from EmuDeck will make the games perform better also?
thanks bro. the performance is same but you will get the latest update at first time always when you use standalone emulator.
Love the video Ed but can you please make a video on how to play Mame on the steam deck?
yes, thats for sure. I will do a similar type video for Mame
@@ED4T Thanks bro I appreciate it

I hope we can make it fully playable but this is all we got nothing we can do to improve the performance and issues. Only few games are playable.
Did you ever sort this out this is what I have going on too

Thank you! Totally worked for me, do I have to leave the xenia_canary.exe in the steam library after everything?
Great to hear that. You can delete the Xenia-canary.exe file in steam library it was just for creating the .config file at the first place.
Still cant play GoW 1-3 :( reading compatibility lists and their totally unplayable :(
Can you do a video on where to find the saved files for these standalone installations please
I have done all the steps. but it doesn't want to boot. "Unable to mount, file not found or corrupt"😢
I tried it this way and once I switch to gaming mode and click on “Halo 4.exe”, it crashes immediately and I’m back in my library. This has happened with 2 other games. Can anyone help? Thanks!!!
Make sure you modify the vulkan in correct format. No extra space.
whenever I install the version mentioned in the video I click one button on the menu and my steam deck is unresponsive after that the only way to restart it is to wait until it dies
I have the same black screen on infinite undiscovery wondering if there’s a fix for it
some game just cant play well. xenia is still under experimental stage.
I must be doing SOMETHING wrong 😢 I watched both your vids faithfully about Xbox 360 and tried both and they both booted with errors. I feel sooo dumb lol followed to the T I thought 😭🤦🏽♂️
Most likely there was a mistake with setting up the iso in shortcuts. I had to buy a blue tooth keyboard and mouse to do it correctly
Most of time ppl spell vulkan in capitalized letters that caused all error.
Why does the title of this video say NOBODY USE
Edit: @ED4T fixed it thank you!
lol title was confusing, i have fixed it. thanks

you have to install the disc 2 , 3 ,4 as dlc. I hope your discs 2,3, and 4 are installable. some iso files cannot be installed.
I put all 4 discs into the same folder. then at game completion changed the iso path from "...../Lost Odyssey/LostOdysseyDisc1.ISO" to "...../Lost Odyssey/LostOdysseyDisc2.ISO" never need to go back a disc so you only change it once and youre done
