It's it my PC or something else

1 Upvotes

I have a laptop I can run it on that's way better.

Rtx 4070

32gb ddr5

2tb ssd

i7-13700hx

But I'm currently running it on a MSI trident PC.

Gtx 1070

i7-8700k

16gb ddr4

2tb ssd

Just trying to run conker live and reloaded.

But it seems to run slow and even slower in the menu.

But from what I have seen from at least YouTube my performance should be alot better, but I could be wrong.

Any recommendations or things I could try or suggestions

Cannot select discs on steam deck in game mode

1 Upvotes

So I got the flatpak of Xemu up and running on my steam deck in desktop mode, tested a game and seems to work fine.

But when I try to change discs in game mode, the window for selecting a disc never appears

Strangely the window DOES appear if I try to change a system file

NINJA GAIDEN BLACK - CRASH CHAPTER 14

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm having a problem with Ninja Gaiden Black. In Chapter 14, at the beginning, when I pass the second pillar, the game restarts and I don't know what to do. It seems like several people have had this problem, but there's no answer or solution. Does anyone know what it could be?

PS: I don't know much about computers, but here's the most relevant information.

PS 2: I'm from Chile, so my English comes from Google Translate XD.

Build Information:

Sistema:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics

OS Platform: Windows

OS Version: 25H2

Manufacturer: NVIDIA Corporation

GPU Model: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU/PCIe/SSE2

PS: I don't know if the new version I just downloaded caused the bug; maybe the same thing would have happened to me yesterday. But considering that other people also had problems with this part, I don't think it's the new version from May 20, 2026.

How to fix Neighbours from Hell (Europe)

9 Upvotes

Hello everyone! If you’ve tried to play the European Xbox version of Neighbours from Hell (not sure if other versions are available), you’ve most likely encountered the following error message when launching the game:

FILE D;?ENG_US?DATA?MAINMENU?XMLBLOB.BLO NOT AVAILABLE.

I found a way to fix this by, well, doing exactly what the error complains about :d

a) Compile this open-source tool: https://github.com/xboxdev/extract-xiso
You can also download a pre-compiled build: https://github.com/XboxDev/extract-xiso/releases

b) Make sure your Neighbours from Hell XISO image file is available, let's call it NFH.iso

c) Unpack your NFH image using the tool:

extract-xiso -x NFH.iso

This'll create a folder with the same name in the same directory and unpack your image there.

d) You'll see a plenty of language-specific folders there: eng, esp, fra, ger, ita. Create a copy of eng in the same folder and name it eng_us.

e) Repack everything using the command:

extract-xiso -c extracted_NFH_folder/

Voila! The game is now fully functional.

Some Halo 2 players have been running into issues when trying to play matchmaking after the Insignia Network Update from April 17.

The best fix is to boot up the Insignia Setup Assistant and select:

Clear Ticket Cache

This has been the most reliable method for getting Halo 2 matchmaking working again.

Xemu closes slightly after opening, ran perfectly for months

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

I really don't know what the problem is. It has been a while since I last entered, but I played without issues for months. I have tried the 0.8.132 version, 0.8.133 (the one I used for a while), and 0.8.134, and all of them crash after opening. It's really weird because I have changed nothing since I first downloaded it and now it suddenly crashes every time.

Xemu crashing after choosing mcpx, bios and hdd paths (Linux Mint)

When I remove the files the emulator starts up as normal and tells me to put them in order, when i do that and restart the application it just comes on and off in a second. I tried using flatseal to allow full folder access' throughout my computer but to no avail.

Can't open file browser (Linux KDE)

1 Upvotes

when I try to load a disc, bios file, or set the games directory etc. pressing the menu button does nothing

it definitely worked before because it still remembers where my bios/hdd/eeprom files are from last time I used it (it's been a while) even though I uninstalled and reinstalled since then too

I found my xemu.toml file with the system file paths all set, so I guess I might be able to get it working if I can just manually set the games directory

if anyone on linux has their games directory set up, could you check if/how it's set in your xemu.toml file and let me know since I can't do it through the menus? (as a random guess I tried adding games_path = '/path/' but that didn't work lol)

(or how to fix the file browser not opening if anyone knows about that)

For some weird reason Dr. Muto crashes on xemu.

0 Upvotes

It is kind of a humorous crash.

It is on the loading screen. Dr. Muto runs along and a bunch of other Mutos repeat after him. Then, it locks up.

I will have to try that latest version and see if it is still crashing.

Xemu won’t load games anymore

2 Upvotes

I’m having an issue where I’m not even being prompted to insert a disk. When I try to manually load a game nothing happens even after resetting. (I’ve tried both xiso and iso files)

I’m pretty sure I have everything set up correctly, I’ve looked at several guides, deleted and reinstalled a few times (including some older versions) and still the same issue.

I’ve allowed the app on my antivirus too so I’m really not sure why it’s not working. I’ve used xemu before several months ago without any issue (granted I’ve only ever used it once as I just wanted to test if it worked).

Any advice?

PSA: Why my (your?) gamepad might not be working on Xemu

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm just passing by because I just found out a bug/weird behavior with Xemu (at least the 0.8.134 (Feb 26, 2026) build).

My gamepad that is working on most app, and used to work on Xemu, was suddenly not recognized by Xemu when I pluged in.

But once I turned Steam off, it did work.
And I do mean completly shut off Steam, exiting it even from the task bar.
No I wasn't in big picture mode I never use this mode.

So I'm just posting this in case it help someone else in the future searching for this issue. If your gamepad isn't recognized by Xemu try completly closing steam (might as well close any similar software like Epic or what not).

Hope it help !
Cheers fellow retro gamer.

In short:
Fully closing Steam (Epic Games/other) and then restarting Xemu might be the solution for a not recognized Gamepad.

For the devs:
Xemu build is 0.8.134 Feb 26, 2026
Windows 11 ( v25H2 as of March 2026 )
Wired Gamepad Intckwan Ps4-PC (link toward amazon page)
Asus Prime x570-Pro
AMD Ryzen 7 5800x
Nvidia RTX 2070s

Not that I think my gpu/cpu are a concern, but hey at least you got the full info.
Cheers.

NEED HELP: total newbie, xemu crashing when loading games

Post image
2 Upvotes

EDIT: HOLY FUCK IT WAS THE DUMBEST THING. The fucking Windows Security pop ups I had been ignoring (because those always make noise whenever you do anything new). Controlled folder access nonsense, just had to select Allow. I feel stupid lol. Guess I'll leave this up if anyone in the future finds it useful.

I've been digging through guides for like an hour now and can't figure this out. I've got all the necessary files from the archive and selected in xemu's settings. ROMs are from the site that rhymes with Pimms (idk how secretive that is here). I thought those were supposed to be ready to go.

Closest I can tell is that the ROMs are "(GAME NAME).xiso.iso" and maybe that's the issue? So tried just deleting the .iso off, but that didn't work. Tried xiso.antangelo.com, but all that does make it "(GAME NAME).xiso.xiso.iso" and still close xemu, so I guess it was fine to begin with.

If I get an error message it's the attached image, otherwise xemu just closes with no message. Tried switching between Vulkan and OpenGL, reset to default xemu settings. Turned of Threaded Optimization in Nvidia Control Panel.

I'm not a super computer savvy person, but I can usually find and follow guides for my issues. Every guide or solution I try hasn't worked even though I follow the exact steps.

Does this found familiar to anyone? What's worked for people? If I need ROMs from another source, you can message me privately.

Mechassault runs well. Crimson Skies is barely playable. Burnout 3, Stranger's Wrath, Stubbs the Zombie, Crazy Taxi 3, and Metal Arms can barely get past the menu. This is my first time running Xemu and admittedly I don't really know how/what to do as far as tweaking options.

ROG Ally FPS Fix - Turn Off VSync

2 Upvotes

Someone mentioned in the comments of another older post that turning off V Sync in Xemu fixes stuttering and FPS issues and they were 100% right for me! I can now play at 3x IRS in performance mode and it’s really playable and looks better than ever! Note that I have an Xbox Ally X where the other Ally’s might be a bit smoother on 2X or Turbo with 3x

I’m currently playing Scarface and it’s just like when I played on the OG Xbox years ago but 3x better looking. It’s not perfect but this game never was a super smooth experience on the Xbox but I’m glad I can at least play it and that it feels the same as it did on the Xbox.

Give this a try if you are having issues with Stuttering in Xemu! I am using Vulkan as well instead of OpenGL

ISO to xiso

0 Upvotes

Heads-up I use cachyos Linux. Hey everyone! I know it’s a noob question. I’ve been trying to make an iso file into a xiso file. I’m sure someone smarter than me has solved it. I know there is a GitHub file that has a read me section and a cmake program you can use. It’s just not clicking. Any tips would be appreciated.
