+There have been some cases reported where the Linuxversion of extract-iso does not work while the Windows version does. The Windows version can be run in Linux via WINE: ''wine extract-xiso.exe -r "game.iso"''
 In case the Github link is down, you can also download an older version of it from the author's [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/extract-xiso/|Sourceforge page]].

 Most tutorials recommend running a ftp server on xemu to access the files such as [[https://xemu.app/docs/networking/|the official xemu doc]]. This can be tricky on batocera.
-Another (easier ?) way which works fine on batocera, is to use a ftp client on xemu to access a ftp server located in your Lan. Android phones, for example, have plenty of applications allowing you to quickly set up a ftp server to share files. Here is the procedure:

Android phones, for example, have plenty of applications allowing you to quickly set up a ftp server to share files. This will allow you to upload/download your game saves. Here is the procedure:
 ==== Installing an alternate dashboard with a ftp client ====
 === Activate networking access in xemu ===
   - Launch any game with xemu
-  - Press your Hotkey Button to bring the xemu menu. Then ''Settings>All settings>Network>Enable'' . The adapter is attached to ''NAT''. No need to do any port forwarding

 === Run a separate ftp server ===
   - On another device (computer, smartphone,...) install and run a Ftp server. For example, Android phones have a lot of applications to get this up and running very quickly.

+===== Lan and Online Gaming =====
+==== System Link ====
+System Link is a form of offline multiplayer gaming on the Xbox and Xbox 360 gaming consoles over a LAN (local area network). Wikipedia has a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_System_Link_games|list of supported titles]]. The option is sometimes buried deeply (ex: in OutRun2, it lays in OutRun Challenge > Race Mode > System Link).
+=== Easy way: use a public server ===
+Using an existing server allows you to play with other users on the same Lan, or on the Internet as if you were on the same LAN:
+  * us-west-1.lan.xemu.app:9938
+  * us-east-1.lan.xemu.app:9938
+  * de-1.lan.xemu.app:9938
+Change your Network settings by pressing ''Hotkey'', then ''Network'' > ''UDP Tunnel''
+  * Remote address: de-1.lan.xemu.app:9938
+  * Bind Address: 0.0.0.0:9938
+Alternatively, you can edit directly the ''/userdata/system/configs/xemu/xemu.toml'' file:
+<code>
+[net]
+enable = true
+backend = 'udp'
+[net.udp]
+bind_addr = '0.0.0.0:9938'
+remote_addr = 'de-1.lan.xemu.app:9938'
+</code>
+=== A bit harder: host your own local server ===
+It's also possible to use your own server (see some documentation here https://github.com/mborgerson/l2tunnel/issues/4 ) if you want to locally connect several computers (and even real xbox consoles) running xemu.
+==== Xbox Live ====
+It offers a completely different approach. The service was shut down by Micrososft in 2010. Some projects, such as insignia, exist to offer replacement servers.
