krzys-h has made a new commit to github which has added the ability to add optional packages to Retroarch and has created a handy dandy how to guide to do it
If anyone's feeling adventurous, here's the link to the guide..

Hmmm, looks like it's going to be two appx files. The main one with the free emulators and another dlc one with non-free emulators. Cool.

someone found a alternative way to use cores and it works

I downloaded the UWP file from the above mediafire link, sideloaded to the Xbox using the Xbox device portal in Chrome. There's a "Browse" link in the file explorer section of the web portal that tells you how to use Windows native file explorer instead of the browser one, and using the Windows file explorer I navigated to one of two retroarch folders that I could access (ending in x64), and created a 'core' folder, in which I placed the snes libreto core from the above link, and I also placed an snes rom in there for quick testing. I booted up retroarch and changed the core directory to this new core folder I created, it recognized the snes core and actually loaded it, and now I've got working snes.

Hmm... If it doesn't need to be marked as content and can just be dropped in, I wonder why the built in core downloader can't do that. The file should have the same properties either way.

there may be away to rebuild the appx using turnips app so cores are included will check

edit: i did it expect an upload

How well does Mupen run? I'd really like to see GLN64 on the Xbone.

Right now we're limited to what Cores we can try. We can only test the Cores from the Buildbot.
https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/windows-msvc2017-uwp/x64/latest/
Even tho there is a PSX Core in the list, it doesn't work and has a file size of 0 bytes

Ah, I didn't even check the available cores.

Eh...if you get on a 3DS then you can use that PSX Core. I found out you could play PS1 games on your 3DS today. I have a N3DS.
