Xenia is an emulator designed to run Xbox 360 games and applications on modern computer hardware. It enables the execution of console software from disc images, digital downloads, and extracted files, facilitating legacy software preservation on hardware that lacks native support.
The project distinguishes itself through high-fidelity graphics enhancements, including the ability to increase internal rendering resolution and apply contrast-adaptive sharpening to restore image clarity. It implements specialized visual techniques such as blue noise dithering to reduce color banding and multisample emulation to remove jagged edges.
The emulator covers a broad range of capabilities including frame delivery optimization through variable refresh rate synchronization and render target caching to improve stability. It also provides system-level utilities for digital content activation to transition software from demo modes to full versions and includes interface scaling adjustments for different monitor pixel densities.
