Emulators are legal, however, downloading the files for the games off the internet is considered piracy.

I was playing a bit with Xenia today after a very long time and I managed to include the DLCs, install the Title Updates and so far the DLCs are bootable. Of course it still crashes/freezes as soon as I try to move around and the graphics aren't being loaded at all.
Not sure if there's an option in the emulator that could fix the graphics but they look like this on Direct3D 12 and ROV 2x. Trying to use Vulkan outright breaks my graphic drivers and I have to restart the PC to fix it.
I remember in the past it was required to use Protect Zero set to false but from what I can see that is no longer required.

EDIT: Protection Zero set to false is required for the Canary build from what I can see. Also Canary build didn't want to work with the patched .xex I used in the Master build, but it did work when I replaced it with the unpatched one (still had the unextracted Title Update in Xenia's content folder though so maybe that's why it worked?) Canary does a bit better with the graphic rendering for me, but not by much.

Not if you own the game. Some games are just not easily transferable to PC without specific hardware, so for this reason downloading is okay as long as you own the game already.

I agree with what you're saying but actually, copying files from an X360 to a USB card is pretty easy. My console is literally original and it let me copy both DLCs without any problems.

Maybe it broke in newer commits? I had no issues with graphics back when I tried it.

EDIT: i see you're using upscaling 2x, upscaling breaks it. Turn it off.

Just an update on what i said before, i retested since its been a while and with latest update of xenia emulator i have been able to play lara's shadow perfectly (apart from shader caching stutter) for over 2 hours now, still cant use the better x2 upscaling though as it looks broken but at least it doesnt crash every few seconds to minute anymore

That's great news. Personally I'll wait for more updates before I dive into the DLCs again. Been a long time xD

Well!! I definitely do love for this idea to happen. So how is it possible to get these fun extended chapters of Underworld released? I especially LOVE TO PLAY LARA'S SHADOW as well as that's my favorite extended chapter too. Maybe there's a way how to port it for PC. Is there?

Unfortunately no not at the moment and porting it would hard because the PC and Xbox have different formats and different archetypes. they have to convert and no one has done so.
