Xenia Canary Options

How to use

1. Run xenia if you haven't before.
2. Show file name extensions in Explorer.
3. Go to Documents\Xenia and open xenia.config.toml in a text editor like Notepad++.
   • If portable.txt is present in the same directory as xenia.exe it will be in the same directory as xenia.exe.
   • Per-game configs go in config\TitleID.config.toml.
4. For launchers/frontends like Bottlenose you can use the --config launch parameter to specify what config to use.
   • To launch specific games, add the path to the game before the launch options. For example: xenia.exe path/to/game/default.xex --vsync=false
