Burnout 3 Xemu

[Bazara Benavides]

Heyguys, so a few months ago i decided to buy the bigbox subscription. I've been trying to play some xbox games with xemu and some games won't work. The issue is the game will load, the sounds are all there, the game will respond to inputs but the screen will be black except for the toolbar for xemu at the top. Itll load the start up screen for xbox but that's it. The game I mainly want to play is need for speed most wanted 2005. I don't know which other games don't work but other people in my house have tried a few others and have had varied results with some working fine and others having the above problem. The computers running Microsoft Windows 10 pro with Intel corei7. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read and to anyone who responds. Cheers!

I'd check the emulators compatibility page, it sounds like that game may just not run on that emulator. Xbox emulation is still in VERY early stages and isn't near as stable as other platforms so issues SHOULD be expected.

Thanks for the response! I'll definitely have a look into the compatibility list. That sounds as tho it's the most probable reason. I know its still in early stages so I expected that there may be some issues with stability but thought that maybe it was a setting or something along those lines that hasn't been setup properly on my end. I'll have to see if it isnt compatible yet, that if maybe it'll run on a different platform like ps2 or pc or something. Regardless tho, thanks for the tip!

New emulators tend to be pretty picky when it comes to what GPU you are using as well. Some emulators play better with Nvidia than AMD for example. I'm not sure if that emulator has that quirk or not but would be another thing to potentially look into.

You might want to check the compatibility list on Xemu's official website (link below). "Need for Speed Most Wanted" is marked as "Playable" by the way. A rather impressive 83% of the catalog is playable with Xemu, however it does require a fairly fast CPU and decent GPU from what I've experienced and heard as well.

Xemu is a fairly straight-forward emulator to set up. Place your xiso formatted ROMs in Emulation/roms/xbox. Read the File Formats section to learn more about xiso formatted ROMs. Place your BIOS directly in Emulation/bios. Read the Configuration section to learn more about Xemu, the expected BIOS and naming conventions, and Xemu's folder locations.

These file locations apply regardless of where you chose to install EmuDeck (to your internal SSD, to your SD Card, or elsewhere). Some emulator configuration files will be located on the internal SSD as listed below.

Paths beginning with Emulation/.. correspond to your EmuDeck install location. If you installed on an SD Card, your path may be /run/media/mmcblk0p1/Emulation/roms/... If you installed on your internal SSD, your path may be /home/deck/Emulation/roms/..

Typically, you will start with an ISO ROM that has an .iso file extension. In order to use this ROM in Xemu, you will need to select one of the methods in the How to Convert ROMs to XISO Format section to convert it to the xiso ROM format.

Setting vs_position_always_invariant=true for Xemu games can be considered an alternative option to the How to Apply Zink section. Zink may cause performance issues or graphical issues. If that is the case, you can try the steps in this section. However, applying vs_position_always_invariant=true may also cause its own set of performance or graphical issues.

If you do not have access to a mouse and keyboard for the below section, use L2 to right click and R2 to left click. Alternatively, remote into your Steam Deck using one of the methods found in the FAQ, How do I remotely control my Steam Deck?.

If the above steps did not work and you are getting an error message along the lines of Flatpak not installed, your Flatpak is likely installed at the system level instead. Select one of the below solutions:

Solution 2: Add sudo in front of the commands written in Step 2 and Step 5. In Step 2, write sudo flatpak remote-info --log flathub app.xemu.xemu and in Step 5, write sudo flatpak update --commit=put_commit_code_here app.xemu.xemu.
