Ninja Gaiden II (X360/Xenia Canary) Chapter 4 Test of Valor 1440p
10Ninja Gaiden II (Xbox 360 original, NOT Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2)
Path of the Warrior difficulty
played in Xenia Canary build 271befc
Here is the Xbox 360 Ninja Gaiden II running in Xenia Canary's build 271befc. I'm going to do the Test of Valor in Chapter 4. To make Tests of Valor available, you need the Rod of Trials from Chapter 2. If you don't do the ToVs, you're missing out on a lot of Karma points and other good things. The prize for this one is a Talisman of Rebirth.
You'll need to do a little config file tweaking first. Open up your xenia-canary.config.toml file and look for the following:
In the [APU] section:
max_queued_frames = 8 (default is 64... setting it to 8 will take care of the sound lag issue)
In the [D3D12] section:
d3d12_clear_memory_page_state = true (default is false... you need to make it true for Team Ninja games to avoid having character models glitch out or not appear)
Thanks to Jashan Rao for the above two fixes.
In the [GPU] section:
draw_resolution_scale_x = 2
draw_resolution_scale_y = 2
Default is 1 for each of these. Feel free to substitute 3 if you like.
Do this to raise the rendering resolution. You may notice some random garbage color blocks popping up at times.
There are a couple other issues. A minor one is that incorrect item depictions can appear in the pause menu. I've heard of the game crashing at chapter 12. The game hangs after a Chapter Clear save and you'll have to restart Xenia to go on. With the progress the devs have been making, I'm sure these issues will be sorted out in time.
The original NG2 is better than the Sigma version. NG2 Sigma lacks the Tests of Valor, and doesn't allow you to save a Lives of the Thousand Gods item for later use. A LoTTG not only raises your life bar's maximum but will also completely refill it in blue. You might like that during a tough boss battle.
