Hey Flippy, you can completely fix the audio desync by changing "max_queued_frames" on Xenia's config file to 3. Hope this helps other people too, I can confirm this fixes the audio desync for me on two different rigs, one with an AMD GPU and another with a Nvidia RTX GPU. Also, Saints Row 2 is playable from start to finish with zero major or minor bugs on Xenia as well, just make sure to set query_occlusion_fake_sample_count to -1, otherwise lights appear through walls.

Love this, you broke it all down to something very understandable for the average modder and new modders alike and you even set up a easy to use environment for those wishing to mod the game. Good work, and thanks for the shoutouts to all of us involved, it's a honor! Here's some backstory for anyone interested when it comes to the 60fps patch, originally godhandz and I found a way to enable uncapped fps, however it was not ideal because you had to manually edit the memory offset on every level you play etc, then illusion came through and made a proper method for it

I recognize Godzhand's name from the official Saints Row forums. I joined it from late 2009 to early 2010. If I remember correctly I believe he was the only person who disliked everything after SR1 and was obsessed with its multiplayer. This also includes SR2 and eventually SRTT. Anyone who knows anything about the SR community knows that disliking SR2 is considered a cardinal sin. But it's possible that I might be mistaken and I might be thinking about someone else. I definitely recognize Godzhand's username from the Saints Row forums though.

I really appreciate that you not only took the time to give us a great tutorial on how to play the game, but also a super in-depth guide on how to basically mod the game into whatever we want. You'd be surprised at how goddamn hard it is to find ANY information about modding anything these days with all of the forums going down, even for source engine games.

Great to see more Flippy content, it's also amazing seeing just how far emulation has come for the 7th generation of consoles, now this is games preservation!

Chef's kiss effort and insane dedication to the OG games, it makes a old man who just learned about this cry of joy.

It's great to see a game so old get so much support by it's fans. If only the creators had the same level of love for it as the fans

i dont have any motivation to do this but i find it very interesting and cool that you and other people have figured out how to do all these things. as soon as i saw you use the bridge to launch cars and have the saints fight each other, i had to load up youtube on my phone just to give you some praise

I'm still a bit heartbroken that the only(?) person who was helming the 'official' SR2 PC patch passed away, while still doubting Volition will keep their word and finish what he started, but this is something to help wipe the tears away. It's been so long since I touched SR1 that it's probably going to feel brand new again, and that's really all an OG fan could ask for. ...I mean, it's not, but dear god it's going to be fun with that new command console and script editing. Hoh boy.

Its so nice to see you making videos again. As a teenager, I played 3 and 4 for about 5 years and racked in an estimated 3-5k on it. Borderlands 1 and 2 have become my new saints row. But seeing this is really refreshing and inspiring for me to get back into it. Ty.

I've been following this project since 2016, love how it turned out

I just replayed Saints Row on the xbox series x and now i am playing Saints Row 2, I absolutely love your videos and honest opinion on the whole franchise and have been watching you for years. Thanks Flippy, hopefully we will get a real Saints Row game in the future.

The amount of respect I have for the xenia team is immense - they're bringing back games that have been neglected by their publishers, that will likely never get PC ports. They do all this with zero documentation as well as being a significantly smaller dev team than the Playstation side.

Man I might not have been with Saints Row at the start but my god stuff like this makes me enjoy the community more.

i been wanting to play the first saints row for years, good that i went on twitter and it reminded me of this channel, havent watched it in like years

I spent a full hour browsing looking to re-buy Saints Row! I got 2 and 3's remaster and then stumbled upon this video... I am in shock of how easy this was to not only get the full game, but to get up and playing at 60FPS in no time at all. Clear precise and absolutley crazy tech to be able to do this stuff! I modded with an RGH'ed Xbox 360 for years so to do all this on PC and play is nostalgia heaven! Thank you good sir 😀

So good to see you back on that Video grind again. Your one of the the few last saints row youtubers making content now. Thanks a lot Reboot

As always, I adore and appreciate the hell out of how much work you put into everything. True 'Go Big or Go Home' stuff. Impresses me every time, thank you for it.

I got my SR1 copy in a Video Store that would eventually close within a year or so for 5 bucks, with the booklet manual still intact and the previous owner forgot his old James Bond Blood Stone copy. Best purchase I've ever made lol Playing back on PC was such a great moment :)

now this is commitment. balls of steel & humble abt it with a step by step guide

this is a lot of metal effort for me PERSONALLY, so thank you for putting that warning haha. but thank you for making this video, the modding community really appreciate it im sure and we as fans are happy you helped :)

wow if only i had this tutorial before i went through all the effort of not only learning how to rip games off of my 360 and then learning the ins and outs of the xenia emulator (which the process caused me to fall in love with it) good stuff flippy may this video and its comment section help many new comers to emulation

Great video! Does a good job at summing up the modding process Saints Row can be a really fun game to mod once you learn it's quirks Hopefully this'll help people trying to get into it, thanks Flippy 🙏

This vid makes me remember about saints row 2 the good time i had would like to see a remaster of the two games

I don't even mod games I mod animation softwares. Yet this is something that I definitely want to get into.

Thing I'm most interested in here is it reveals "skirmishes" are a part of the game. Every so often I'd see a car full of a rival gang pass through Saints territory and I didn't know if it was programmed that way or if it was a glitch or what the hell.

Thank you for being a gamer and not an influencer.

I know I am late but I am so glad I found this video thank you Flippy now I can enjoy the OGs even better

I so glad that Flippy has kept Squid Girl as his profile for all these years.

Whenever flippy uploads, my day gets better.

Great guide! Couple more things: Exit Steam because Steam controller settings might interfere with any emulator controller settings. Enable FXAA and AMD FSR in the post-processing settings. Big visual improvement with very little performance impact.

Gotta thank you for making a video about SR1 modding, i happen to mod the game myself lol

The ISO was taken down due to violation of their terms of use?? The Japanese is still good though. No rush but I am hoping this will get fixed. I have waited 17 years for this moment and internet archive.. I will haunt you. On a brighter note this tutorial is excellence and simple. It's been my long life dream to play this on pc. I knew there was a couple of ways to do it but it required big effort. This is gold.

For future reference if anyone is having trouble getting mods to work: if you get a path error make sure there are no spaces in the folders names Also if it seems like the program says it patches the files but they're not in the "output" folder - i found that they didnt end up in the output folder at all, they got automatically placed in the original directory where they were supposed to be so misc2 ended up back in packfiles afterwards. it took me over 2 hours just to get a simple SR1 mod to replace the default homies with the story mode homies but by the Gods it was worth it.

There's literally no spaces on any of the folders yet it still says it couldn't find path to the game folder

I've been messing around with Xenia and Saints Row for a bit, seems to work ok-ish, performance is pretty stable. Audio delay happens to me too, there's a way to kinda fix it, but it changes an emulator setting so could bug the audio in other games. Set max_queued_frames to 3, default is 64 I think. If it's easier, make another folder with the emulator for just that game, I have like 4-5 versions due to minor settings breaking things in some games but others needing those settings. I got a Steam Deck recently and it's apparently stable enough on there to complete it, so I guess I'm getting back into Saints Row.

Love your videos, never stop making them!

Do you think you could touch on installing SR1's DLCs to Xenia? There's no guides specifically for Saints Row, and the guides for other games didn't work for either SR1 or SR2 for me, I'd love to have access to the DLC, specially the console-locked DLC of SR2, but no one has showed how to set that up.

The Best Part Is When You Mentioned Restoreing The Gang Server If Its Possible I Would Definitely Look Into Getting A Pc Again

I found that if you change the setting "vsync_interval = 16" to "vsync_interval = 8", it will help a lot with the stutter with the "default_60_FPS.xex" file. If you have stutter issues in 60fps, try changing that setting.

Any help would be greatly appreciated I know you and everyone who can mod are super busy with life and modding etc. Also thanks to you and everyone who contributed to keeping Saints Row alive and for it to be playable to a console standard if not higher on PC now is just insane.

In a perfect world I would love to create a radio station/add music to the game (I know I could just replace but I don't really want to take away from the game), have custom clothing (kill anyone who says 'Im out of style'), edit how difficult the game is, tweak the weapons like adding fine aim however that works on SR1, etc, etc but I'm stuck at the first hurdle basically lol

Thank God I own a physical copy of Saints Row 1, maybe a few too many as they're not in top shape but backwards compatibility is a god send.

This was a fantastic video, thank you so much for explaining everything in such a concise manner and especially for providing the SR1 iso. But the video's topic gave me a question: what do you think of SaintsRowMods' users? Personally I find them to be rather restrictive and passive. Not all of them, of course, but I no longer use the website for discussion because it just feels like different points of view are seen as threats or something. Modding the console versions of the games has been strictly banned since (I think) the website was created. Anyone who asks about it either gets banned or is just told "we don't do that here, so leave AND don't do it". And since the website seems to have ties to Volition (or at least, it used to), criticism directed at them, while somewhat frequent, is silenced and dismissed by mods, who only change their minds in extreme situations (like the initial SRIV: Re-Elected PC launch), only to then keep quiet about Volition's other issues. One user once asked something like "why do I have to buy Saints Row 2 in order to mod it to make it actually functional, I don't want to support a company who doesn't mind leaving broken ports abandoned for years, it just feels wrong". He/she was almost immediately banned without receiving an answer, and honestly, he/she was right. Why should we support a company who leaves a game broken and forces you to use community fixes in order to actually play the godforsaken game itself?

I used to know the owner and can confirm console modding was a really controversial topic there. On one hand I guess you could say it set back the development and community of SR1 modding, but on the other, I could see where they were coming from. Back then the only real way to mod sr1 was to have a JTAG or RGH and that brings a heap of problems. Since they were semi-associated with Volition, any endorsement of tampering with microsoft's hardware was a huge no-no. Corpo business relation junk. Obviously that's lame and why I made this video, but still I get it. If I had time I'd explain the intricacies of why the community feels the need to white knight Volition, but these days you hardly see it as much. There's been enough comments by ex-employees that have all said working there sucks and management is toxic. Volition is nothing like it was 10 years ago, let alone 5. It's a husk of whatever it was.

whenever i download the saints row file it doesn't download the ISO with it? i downloaded it 3 times to check if it was a downloading mistake but it never appeared, any ideas on what to do?

I can't believe you realised this video two days after I started playing SR1 on Xenia.

I believe this would also be applicable to SR2 as well as it’s recent 60fps patch.

I may need help. My pc is is kind of a piece of lint and I don't know any best settings for my game. And I keep getting stutters on my 60fps version

I finished it with livestreams on pc a while back. Glad it can be modded now!

I keep on getting an "unable to mount {}; file not found corrupt." error on xenia. I turned the educational saints row download (both the mirror and archive one) into an iso via anyburn, and I keep getting said error. Any help would be appreciated I feel like a total dummy

I only beat SR4, which was fun but I know that it wasn't a Saints Row Game. It only took me to watch all SR1&2 Cutscenes to see why Saints Row is Great. Sadly, gaming on PC feels more like work to me but I'll give this SR1 mod a shot one day^^

Where does he get the iso file from i have downloaded both zips from the first link and the second one with a password and extracted both with winrar and cant see an iso file anywhere

For anyone wondering, the Mirrors don't have the ISO. The original download links (Furthest to the left) do.
