Xenia Git (2026/08/04) is an experimental Xbox 360 emulator that currently does not run games. The latest changelog includes various GPU and Vulkan updates, such as implementing gradient exponent bias, vertex kill support, and improvements for texture formats. Key fixes address issues like Z-fighting decals, texture border colors, and coordinate handling for textures. Additionally, it implements wide 1D texture support and addresses a regression in the X_OBJECT_HEADER struct. These updates enhance the emulator’s functionality and prepare it for future game compatibility. Download options are available for users interested in the latest version.
