Getting Started

Installing XLink Kai on an Apple computer is a straight forward process with a few requirements:

  • A user account with Administrator rights
  • ~20MB of HDD space
  • An internet connection. A wired network is preferred for stable gameplay. Using a cell phone hotspot is extremely discouraged.
  • A Supported Network Setup. If playing Original Xbox or Xbox 360 games your PC/Laptop can NOT be fully wireless!

Some of these steps may be specific to macOS 10.15 Catalina but the general process should be the same for previous versions of macOS/Mac OSX

This guide assumes you have already signed up for an XLink account and have completed the registration and consent process.
