===Comparisons===
;[[Xenia]]:Xenia is the leading [[High/Low_level_emulation|hybrid approach]] Xbox 360 emulator that's made it the furthest. While it isn't nearly as compatible as RPCS3 is for [[PlayStation_3_emulators|PlayStation 3]], impressive performance outshines RPCS3 due to RPCS3's [[PlayStation_3_emulators#Emulation_issues|extremely challenging SPU emulation]] resulting reasonably higher CPU demands. Another reason for performance difference is Xenia utilizes [[High/Low_level_emulation|very high-level emulation (HLE) approach for the CPU, while relying heavily on Low-Level Emulation (LLE) for the GPU]] <small class="plainlinks" style="font-weightref>[https:normal;"//discord.com/channels/308194948048486401/308194948048486401/1192362532212576348 Rick's xenia discord message about LLE and HLE]</ref><ref>([https://githubdiscord.com/channels/308194948048486401/701111856600711208/1090315143226863616 chrispy's comments about xenia-project's approach]</game-compatibilityref>. Due to these approaches and other reasons/issues compatibilityoptimizations (see [[Emulation accuracy]]page) : it's making Xenia more reliant on GPU performance instead of CPU (especially compared to RPCS3). But keep in mind that, it's still depends heavily on CPU single thread performance due to graphics API-related calls and focusing solely '''average''' CPU utilization percentage numbers may give you false impression[https://githubdiscord.com/xenia-canarychannels/308194948048486401/game-compatibility308194948048486401/issues canary-compatibility1199060658059235479])</small>.

For checking if your games work and Vulkan backend; though itany fixes, tweaks, or settings, see compatibility list. For people who follow the dev progress, Android builds in CI don't mean there is anything you can even install or "make work" on your device.

===Dashboard and apps===
:[https://tcrf.net/Xbox_360#Revisional_Differences tcrf: Xbox 360 Dashboard revisional differences]
:[[Wikipedia:List_of_Xbox_360_applications|Wikipedia - List of Xbox 360 applications]]
The Dashboard is a graphical user interface developed for Xbox 360. You can launch various applications from this interface as well. Also supports [https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/xbox-360/console/media media streaming (music, photos and videos) with PC] using [[Wikipedia:Windows_XP_Media_Center_Edition|Windows XP MCE]] with Xbox 360's built-in [[Wikipedia:Windows_Media_Center_Extender#Version_2_Extenders|version 2 Media Center Extender]] functionality and app. This functionality shouldn't be confused with other standalone [[Wikipedia:Windows_Media_Center_Extender|Windows Media Center Extender devices]] or [[Xbox_emulators#Windows_Media_Center_Extender|original Xbox Media Center Extender version 1 add-on]].
 
*xenia has [https://github.com/xenia-project/xenia/pull/1243 no support for dashboard emulation] at the moment, though there are several old builds partially supports various dashboard revisions. But keep in mind that you can emulate [https://consolemods.org/wiki/Xbox_360:Kiosk_Discs various Kiosk discs for Xbox 360] such as: "[https://github.com/xenia-project/game-compatibility/issues/1813 Xbox 360 Retail Kiosk Disc 1.0]" for "Blade" interface. Another alternative for this using compilation discs such as: "[https://github.com/xenia-project/game-compatibility/issues/432 Xbox Live Arcade]" for "Blade" interface and "Xbox Live Arcade Game Pack" for "New Xbox Experience" interface, however all of these discs are partially compatible with latest xenia builds so do not expect perfect experience, see [[Interactive Kiosk]] page for more information. Recently xenia-canary developer Gliniak [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2y7BiYPMUI share a video about custom build of xenia-canary he working on for dashboard emulation] and further said: "This presents some of functionalities that might be available in Xenia in the future. It's still not perfect, not even close of being fully stable and reliable, but I'm working on it". For more information see [https://discord.gg/Q9mxZf9 xenia discord].
*Fission only supports [https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/xbox-360/games/backward-compatibility/open-xbox-guide-in-xbox-360-game Xbox 360's Xbox Guide dash menu], Friends/Party and Notifications, other than that, there is no Dashboard interface emulation whatsoever. Some of the Xbox 360 apps supported ([[Wikipedia:List_of_Xbox_One_and_Series_X/S_applications|Xbox One and Series X/S apps]]) on the newer consoles though.

<blockquote>[Xenos] was a playground for experiments — it was developed near the end of the Direct3D 9 era, but still before Direct3D 10, and contained many features not standardized or even available at all on the PC, but when they ended up on the PC, the actual implementation could be significantly different; it also included completely unique features. [...] Contrary to a common misconception, the Xbox 360 [isn't] just a “DirectX 9 box”. It essentially contains a [tile-inspired] mobile-like GPU with much more raw power than a comparable mobile GPU. If you compare the registers of the Xenos and the Qualcomm Adreno 200, you can see that most of them are the same, as they are almost the same GPUs — the Adreno 200 was called the AMD Z430 before having been acquired by Qualcomm and was even referred to as the "mini-Xenos"!"<br>-Triang3l<ref>Triang3l (April 27, 2021).

Due Despite being one of the most popular [[:Category:Seventh-generation_video_game_consoles|seventh gen home console]], due to requiring a large number of resources (see [[Dolphin]] and [[PCSX2]] for specifications for their respective consoles), as well as the hardware not being properly documented yet<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20230205112049/http://www.noxa.org/blog/category/projects/xenia/ Building an Xbox 360 Emulator]</ref>, '''Xbox 360 emulation currently isn't at a point where people can reliably emulate most of the game library.''' However, Xenia is making slowly but surely progress on that front, but development has unfortunately lost momentum in recent years, with updates becoming less frequent. That, plus the fact that Microsoft has 's own implemented their own official emulation ([[Fission|Fission]]) of the system through the Xbox One and Series S/X, '''however ended with an November 2021 update Microsoft ends the program''. So, as mentioned above: [https://github.com/xenia-project/game-compatibility/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Astate-playable while playable titles exists], Xbox 360 software emulation hasn't yet reached a point of something like [[PlayStation_3_emulators|PlayStation 3]] or [[Wii_U_emulators|Wii U]] emulation, currently remains in its early stages, with limited compatibility and requiring patience/experimentation.
