XEMU v0.8.137 is released. xemu is an open-source, cross-platform application that emulates the hardware of the original Xbox game console, allowing users to play their Xbox games on Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. This project is focused on making significant forward progress in terms of features, performance, stability, and user experience in Xbox emulation. This project is an active fork of the XQEMU project, which is based on the very popular and highly actively maintained QEMU full system emulator project.

Issues Fixed
#3029 - Performance loss on Windows when port forwarding is enabled after #2568 was merged
#2790 - Performance regression between 0.8.133 and 0.8.134 releases caused by PR #2691. Related to vsync being enabled and influenced by display refresh rate, seems specific to AMD drivers on Windows.
#2983 - pgraph regs_dirty bitmap is never cleared in GL renderer
#2597 - Tighten FS shader cache validation
#579 - Ultra Bust A Move and the Outlaw golf have an audio bug which freezes the game
#2023 - Braveknight: Lieveland Eiyuuden Random crashes and performance issues
#2106 - Prisoner of war performance Issue due to music
