Can I play RDR1 on Xenia?
So Ive heard that I need a powerful PC to run an emulator and also RDR1, and I have a GTX 1050 Ti and AMD FX 8300 eight core with 16 GB RAM (as note, while persons with much more powerful PCs were saying on forums at The Witcher 3 next-gen update and Spiderman that their game crashes, for me it never crashed)
Can I use it?

To my knowledge its possible. Xenia will not be using your gpu, mostly your cpu. Xbox360 and ps3 emulators are very cpu intensive.

And there is a way to see if is safe for my CPU to run it?

Run it and find out.

I tried it with a i7 7700K last year on a ps3 emulator and it ran like a slide show, like 10-15fps. Never gave Xenia a try, its probably worth a shot. especially if you have a better cpu.

From what Ive heard from a video, a ps3 emulator use more of the cpu than a xbox emulator

And how do I know if is safe to run it or not?

Just run it, how new to computers are you? Do you think something bad is going to happen by running an emulator? My god

I got a 1660 super and ryzen 1600x and I had a better experience with rdr1 on xenia then on rpcs3

I ran RDR2 & Undead Nightmare beautifully with Xenia Canary. My specs I used below:
Revision OS Windows 10 64bit
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU
Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 590 Nitro+ 8GB GPU
16GB of Gskill Flare X (2133 cas 15) RAM

At first the the game ran like poop but then there was a certain setting I had to set in Xenia and afterwards it ran better than it did on my fat elite xbox 360. I just got a EVGA Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 SC 8gb that I'm going to do some testing with this next week.

You keep using the phrase; IS IT SAFE? Like why?
All that COULD happen is your CPU not be enough and thus it might run slower then expected. No harm in trying. If it runs like poop, just put it all on a backup drive and play it later when you have a more powerful PC. Having AMD anything prior to AM4 is just terrible. No better then i5-2500K maybe. Unless can OC well, but then still only maybe around the performance of i7-2600K; if you are lucky.

Even a Ryzen 1700 would be a huge step up from anything on the FM2/AM2/AM3 sockets.
The quality and speed of a compatible disk drive for the task is a factor, if your disk is in poor condition and you did not read the user manual setting for the emulators settings expect poor results,
the thing about emulators you can build programming files onto them for specific games, if your willing to spend the time programming with-in the emulator's limitations to improve the games performance.

I wish I had an APU right now to test theoretical performance variables. So I could help give conclusive results based on settings and whether or not certain hardware would not meet the requirements, some people build retro gaming PC box's for one reason emulation of devices with compiled archived programming of many emulators that have high ratings, along with the old consoles, controller device input docks, if your good at metal fabrication,electrical work, molding plexiglass or casting epoxy in created molds to design your own Gaming box make your own parts if you have physical resources , you can learn to program to get the game to run in a functional state, have some confidence and try to learn something.

The architecture of your hardware and how the programming is handled should determine your performance.

I am sure if someone has the time and the hardware to test and share program settings based on game performance, its quite obvious some hardware with non-existent workaround programming to utilize virtual memory and other hardware can be part of a major problem if your dependent on CPU with intensive usage along with lacking RAM memory.

"is it safe",
not if your unwilling to do basic programming or learn anything about software programming and read your system hardware temperatures if you hit a red line within a thermal fluctuation, then ignore that fact if you lose your temper if quality is bad and go back to console before degrading your hardware's life span and if you lack confidence in yourself, just see it as a learning incentive to get the game running on your rig, when greed is not a motive here its pure enjoyment for positive motivation to get the game running for something you already bought.

The right to repair law protects people from corporate greed and consumer exploitation along with any kind of negligence from a company to repair anything with out solicitation and extortion or for price gouging repairs, if your capable of repairing something you bought, the manufactures or game companies can't sue anyone for their negligence, a Judge would see a legal petition directed at any consumer in the sense of exploiting their customers or engaging in criminal type of stalker to enslave the mass population while saying we dropped support on all devices we just sold a day ago or whatever made up excuse they would give and the odds of Linus peanut butter smells like $#!T videos will be on every channel in north Korea when or if a judge would ever side with people bent on world domination and cybernetic enslavement.

if you wanna play a worse looking version of the game, I'd just go with Xenia, you can get 1080p 60fps pretty easily with the best looking port

Xenia does use your gpu, rpcs3 does not because of the way the ps3 was built and they way devs had to make games on it

You'd be better off running it on the switch using yuzu and a 60fps mod.

From what i've heard Xenia is hit and miss when it comes to emulation isn't user friendly at all.

let me guess....Xenia was recommended to you by SomeOrdinaryGamers Youtube channel?
