Step 1: Configure Render Target

  • Access Configuration File: Right-click and open your Xenia configuration file using a text editor like Notepad. Ensure you're using Xenia Canary.
  • Modify 'renderTarget': Locate the 'render_target_path_d3d12=' line of code and change its value to 'rov'. Save the changes made and close the file.

Step 2: Adjust Max Frames

Step 3: Modify Internal Display Resolution

  • Reopen Configuration File: Access the Xenia configuration file once more.
  • Adjust 'Internal Display Resolution': Set the value to 16. Save changes and close the file.

Step 4: Modify 'vsync' Settings

  • Open the Xenia configuration and set 'vsync' to 'true' and 'vsync_Interval' to '12'. Save the changes and close the file.

Step 5: Adjust GPU Settings

  • Access the Xenia configuration file one last time and set 'gpu' to 'vulkan' and 'gpu_allow_invalid_fetch_contants' to 'true'. Save the changes made and close the file.
  • If you are choosing 'Vulkan', ensure up-to-date drivers for your GPU device to prevent compatibility issues.
