Xenia (XBOX 360 Emulator) gonna work on AMD CPU's?

[Gaurav S Rao]

Hey Guys,I recently built my pc with a AMD CPU (forgot to update my sign tho  ) and I downloaded the XBOX 360 emulator "Xenia" to play a prototype version of my game.The game doesnt work and a guy on discord is saying horsesh*t that it wont work since in the minimum requirements ( xenia.jp ) it says Intel CPU's : 

 

System Requirements:

Windows 8 or later,

Vulkan compatible GPU (list),

Intel Sandy Bridge or Haswell (AVX).
If xenia tells you your machine is not supported, it is not supported. Don't ask how to bypass the checks.

 

Xenia never tells my machine is not supported,I'm running Windows 8.1 (but will soon go to Windows 10 to remove the incompatible whatever message) and my GPU is Vulkan compatible (even if it weren't to be u can run Xenia in OpenGL by using command line,but i have a GTX 1050 TI,so no worries there)

 

The part is where it says Intel Sandy Bridge or Haswell (AVX),thats where this guy is saying shit.My CPU does have AVX instruction of course,it being an AMD Ryzen 3 1200.If Im right,AVX instructions are made my Intel,but my CPU does support it.Both Intel and AMD use the same technologies (instruction sets) the only difference being that the CPU clockspeed boosting technlolgy is different,which doesn't matter here *correct me if im wrong*.Many here would say that he's correct,well there is a confusion in the same website,where it says ( http://xenia.jp/faq/#system-requirements ) :

System Requirements

• Windows 8 or later
• 64-bit x86 processor supporting AVX
• A Vulkan compatible GPU from this list (NVIDIA recommended)
• An XInput-compatible controller

Xenia will check for the minimum supported CPU and GPU on startup and error out if one is not detected. Check that your GPU is on this list and that you have the latest drivers installed. You cannot just remove the checks in the code and assume things will work.

 

Here it says "64-bit x86 processor supporting AVX" Of course my CPU has AVX instructions and is 64-bit x86 (x86-64) so yeah.Since im trying to prove the guy wrong,also the guy is demanding me to prove it and make it work.So if someone can help in that,please help .

 

Thanks

You should be fine. Do you have the virtualization extensions enabled?

Ummn means Virtualization enabled in the BIOS? I don't know but PCSX2 (PS2 Emulator) runs just fine,just too slow.

You'd need a CPU that supports AVX. If your AMD CPU supports AVX, it's in the clear.

restarting to check..

Yes.

No. I'm talking about AMD-V. Should be somewhere in the advanced CPU settings.

I didn't see if AMD-V settings were there,I will check but I did see SVM which claimed itself to be virtualization.It was disabled,but enabling it = problem not solved.

Well,SVN is AMD-V,according to research online

Ok,the problem is,the game will white screen when paired will vulkan but sound will be playing,but at a point it will crash.With OpenGL,the movie part of the game will play,but it will be stuck when I skip it or let it finish.It will eventually crash.I'm gonna try to do what I can and try to get it working.

Lets stay on topic. Either give constructive advice or don't post.

Can you confirm with a known working game that Xenia even works for that system?

 

Yes I am suggesting something questionable, but hey, what else can you do to make sure the problem isn't on the prototype's end?

I don't have any x360 games other than that  , if it were to be a PS2 I would have many.

My system is compatible for sure,maybe I'm missing something in my runtimes,could that be the issue?
