Great work Ed! Best XEMU guide i've seen or read yet (and I've seen a lot of them). Thankyou and keep up the great content

[NuvaDuva]

Thank you for making this! It was the one emulator I trouble with. Great video as always

[granvillehenderson]

Just recently got my Steam Deck and your videos have been a godsend. Thanks so much for the easy tutorials.

[realratingrating]

wow finally, this is great. thanks for all the best tutorials from you.

[Turfysea]

thank you keep making these quality vids

[MisterNBG]

18:17 you literally skipped the most important part... where tf do you drag and drop file from pc to steam deck. File directory? file address? WHERE? just simply show you doing it. Major hole in your guide....

[punkymacpunk]

Thank you so much your video was so simple 😭 I spend so much time and so much videos trying to this

There's no need in renaming. Just click on the path bar in explorer, type cmd there and press Enter. This will open a console window with current dir inside that folder. Alt+Enter (or RMB — Properties) on file you download, copy full path to file and be ready to copy the file name as well. Then, just type inside cmd window: extract-iso -r
And that's basically it.

Followed your vid and it worked well pleased I can play classic Xbox on my steam

Make sure to check Xemu's compatibility list before downloading a game for the emulator. Not all games will play well. Ninja Gaiden, for example, runs excellently at 4 times resolution but there's a CGI cutscene bug with the emulator. Basically, they don't render properly. There is sound but no video. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, though, runs very well and there's no problems whatsoever. Halo CE also runs fine.

What settings do you have running for Conker? It stutters a lot

[supalognon]

26 sept 2023: with Xemu version 0.7.111, Conker Live And Reloaded still runs at 15fps on my Steam Deck max no matter what I do (Patch or not). Still some people have better performance. I don't undestand how.

Is there a guide to how to insert the bio into the xemu because its not working. Ive gone into the xemu systems but you dont show how to actually transfer the files during that

[Shinybutu]

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but the command prompt isn't finding my file when I try to extract to convert it. I renamed it and recopied it numerous times but my windows PC isn't finding it. Really frustrating right now.

[itznoxy]

Crazy that you have to do all that to convert the ROMs. Can't you find ROMs online that are already .xiso?

[SuperHighO]

the steam deck thing is so annoying i follow these tutorials it might start out looking the same but then at some point the person always clicks something that looks completely different on mine and then i’m lost…i already had emudeck installed i did exactly what you did ..when i click my downloads folder though it shows a bunch of stuff and none of it is xemu..when i find the xemu folder it definitely did not say bios

[konyekz]

Hello I cannot see the option tools and stuff on steam deck, do you recommend something else?

[DragonOfTHaast]

Got a guide, or know a way to fix the audio?
I haven't got any sound on my xemu

[imanrachman]

Hi there my best friend, just want to report that some xbox games do not show cutscenes on xemu for the steamdeck, although the games play perfectly. I am wondering if you probably know the best setting to make the cutscenes appear during the gameplay? I highly appreciate your help, my best friend 😊
