Got Series X recently, tried it, works great and love it - but I'm curious... if I'm willing to pay for developer mode would it be better and easier to buy it and use it or is retail mode version superior to that? For me, switching to devmode wouldn't be a big issue, so I'm looking for some dev mode advantages to know if I should buy it or just stick to this.

Dev Mode allows you to have more control over the installed apps, such as being able to manually manage the cores used in RetroArch for example. And if you would rather have games stored in the internal Xbox storage, Dev Mode allows you to allocate more storage towards that, Retail only has 30 GB to offer in contrast which you can't increase (moot point if you would use a USB Drive instead).

And finally, you don't have to worry about the app being taken down the store with Dev Mode like you do in Retail mode. Plus, AetherSX2 received a UWP port which can be used in Dev Mode only if you are interested in emulating PS2 games. So that's another reason to get it.

I there, im using retail mode and can acess to localfolder but in there i can't see the retroarch folder. I need this to transfer only the wii rom's because im having troubling playing them on my usb. Sticks on blach screen. I read on the web that dolphin core don't work well on usb roms. In the other hand, i can play them on usb but with TNavigator and not retroarch.

Edit: Resolved !!!!! In the comments on youtube that is posted: "

For anyone who is having trouble finding the retroarch file under localfolder, go to your xbox, go to your file info on your retroarch app & match the full name from there and the folder you’re trying to find under localfolder. If it matches, that’s your retroarch app. Mine were bunch of random numbers"

Edit2: Super mario work for the first time but when i change de directory folder it stop working. It stucks on black. I dont think i change anything else. Gonna try default config

Edit3: It worked. Reset config anf it work. Gonna try fig why! Also, you can have the rom in a usb drive but the folder of dolphin must be on the xbox and the directory must read from there. other wise dolphin system files on the usb dont load.

There seems to be no way to download RetroArch. There is a link to gamr13's AppStore, but it takes me to a blank Store page. Can I do something to download RA?

Go to Edge and then search for gamer13 github and choose the first result

 

[Naendow]

Same page. I only seem to find his GitHub.io page. Could you give me a link please?

I cant post links but its this: h t t p s : / / gamr13 . github . io (no spaces)

With Edge browser

This is the exact page I have. The only option is downloading his AppStore, which leads me to a blank MS Store page.

Theres a warning:

WARNING: Due to Microsoft breaking the Dev Mode purchase page, no more public apps can be uploaded. My Patreon page is **STILL ACTIVE** for now.

 

[Naendow]

Oh, I haven't seen this warning. Well, that explains the problem. Still thx for your help.

 

[godreborn]

I'm having a problem here. I see that apps are now part of an app store, but it will not download when I click on the button. don't understand what the problem is.

 

[Naendow]

Look at the posts right above yours. I have the same problem. :/

They're up again, on the app. Read it on discord, but it's through an app store that Microsoft seems to have taken down for now.

 

[godreborn]

the app download is working again, downloading retroarch, ppsspp, and duckstation right now.

 

[Naendow]

Can also confirm that the app store and the included apps are downloadable and working.
