Xenia Patcher is a system that allows users to apply game-specific patches to Xbox 360 games running on the Xenia emulator. These patches can fix crashes, unlock hidden content, bypass broken code paths, or improve performance and compatibility in specific titles.
Instead of modifying Xenia’s source code or the game files themselves, patches are loaded externally through a structured patch configuration system, making it easy to test and share tweaks without altering the base emulator.
Xenia Patch Maker is a community-developed tool that simplifies the process of creating and managing patch files for Xenia. Instead of manually writing and formatting patch files, the Patch Maker provides a graphical interface or guided editor that:
Helps you generate patch templates,
Lets you define memory addresses and values to patch,
Allows exporting valid .patch.toml files compatible with Xenia’s patching system.
This tool is perfect for users who want to create or test their own patches without diving into hex editing or reverse engineering.
Xenia supports a patch format written in TOML (Tom’s Obvious Minimal Language), which includes:
Target game title ID,
Patch name and description,
Memory addresses and values to override,
Optional conditions or enable/disable flags.
Patches are loaded at runtime and applied to specific games as they boot.
[patches.my_custom_fix]
title_id = "4D530805"
name = "60 FPS Unlock"
description = "Unlocks 60 FPS cap in gameplay"
author = "User123"
enabled = true
[[patches.my_custom_fix.memory_writes]]
address = 0x8210A1F4
value = "60000000"
Fixing crashing or broken games in Xenia
Unlocking hidden features, debug menus, or developer content
Improving performance, like unlocking frame rates or skipping intro logos
Bypassing license checks or anti-piracy triggers (for legally dumped games)
Testing experimental behaviors or skipping game-breaking code paths
Create or download a .patch.toml file for a specific game.
Place the patch file in your patches/ directory next to the xenia.exe.
Example: xenia/patches/your_game_title_id.patch.toml
Launch the game using Xenia.
The patch will be applied automatically if it matches the game’s Title ID.
Advanced users can:
Combine multiple patches for the same game,
Toggle patches on/off for A/B testing,
Contribute patches to community databases,
Create patches that modify instruction behavior in real time.
Xenia Patcher and Patch Maker give users a powerful way to improve game compatibility, unlock hidden potential, and tweak Xbox 360 games for optimal performance on the Xenia emulator. Whether you’re fixing a broken intro, unlocking 60 FPS, or skipping licensing checks for legitimate backups, this system provides a clean, modular, and community-driven solution to customizing your Xbox 360 emulation experience.
