I was wondering how well it is because I’ve read online that Linux support for Xenia was extremely unstable and even CI/CD says “failure” on the README, so I was curious if you can even compile it, and if you can, exactly how bad it actually is

    I personally haven’t tried it, but there is nothing stopping you from running it with wine. This is what I did, and it works well enough. Is there any reason why you need the native version? Because from what I’ve heard it’s still missing some very important things and doesn’t really work as of now.

      I didn’t really think wine would run an emulator for a system that new well, but I guess I was wrong, thanks! I’ll try it out later.

        You’re welcome!

        Just make sure to grab the Xenia canary version as it has many improvements for wine.

        Also, in most cases, setting the renderer to Vulkan can improve things. You can do so by creating a text file called “portable.txt” in the Xenia directory, and then run Xenia again. This will create a config file in the Xenia directory, in which you can then tell Xenia to use Vulkan.

        Lastly, I’d recommend using bottles for all that as it makes everything much easier.
