The first thing that hits me when I start up Mega Man 10 is that the latter problem seems to be fixed. The game was very black, which isn't Mega Man to me. If I had any complaints about the design last time, it would probably be that the levels were a bit colorless. Pixels are art, and it was great to hear Capcom's composers working within the constraints put on them by the NES sound chip again. The controls will never be that wonderfully precise if the levels aren't rendered with such clarity.

Capcom went back to its roots, not only because it was retro-cool, but because Mega Man thrives in glorious 8-bit. Sheep Man, Commando Man, Blade Man, Strike One, Solar One, Chill Man, Nitro Man and Pump It stare at me from the screen that let me choose which of them I'll start out with, before I pick Sheep Man and another Mega Man adventure begins.Īfter Mega Man 2 (one of the best games ever) the 2008 hit Mega Man 9 is probably my favorite in the classic series. Wily is supposed to be innocent this time, Capcom tells us, but wise from experience I know that the last boss will be the good old doctor anyway.

You shouldn’t mess with these if you don’t know what they do! Here are a few settings you may want to change: Here you’ll see a bunch of options you can change, with information on the right side about what each one does. In the “Documents” folder (default: C:\Users\username\Documents\Xenia), a few new files should appear, including “ .” Open this file with Notepad.

To change things like resolution, you need to manually enter this information in the Xenia config file.įor the config file to appear, just open Xenia once, then close it. The next one down from that is “state-gameplay,” but don’t expect a seamless experience.Īfter Installation: Select “File -> Open” to load your first game into Xenia. The ideal tag you’re looking for is “state-playable,” which means the game runs pretty smoothly from start to finish. Here you’ll see developers submitting information about how playable games are. The best place to get the most up-to-date list of games compatibility on Xenia is to go to the games compatibility list on the Xenia Github. Before diving in with Xenia, you probably want to have an idea of what games you can actually run with it (assuming you have the recommended Nvidia GTX 1070 GPU to run games smoothly in the first place).
