Retroarch is now on Retail Mode (Xbox Series S/X)

[SlimGG]

yeah, I got ps2 box art to show up, but I used 3d versions of the artwork. not all box art appears, since I think it hasn't been uploaded yet. you have to have the game name (has to be exact), along with region in parenthesis to download box art. you can remove the region from the game name in your playlist section. it will have remove () or remove [] or remove both. I chose just to remove (). the box art will still work and everything this way, just won't have the annoying region listed.

I thought that was the case, but tried it myself and didnt seem to detect any art when forced checked. With some of the SNES games i just used the website to name them right, used same kinda naming on PS2 games with no luck..

What I meant was I had it initially setup in dev mode a few months ago on the U drive (I think). Can that carry over if I install to retail mode, so long as I point it to that directory after installing or do I have to use an FTP?

I think on the series x, the config is on the Q drive. retail and dev mode use their own. I don't know what might happen if you use the config file from one on the other. the problem, at least for me, is that I'm using an external hdd. on dev mode, the external hdd is the E drive, while on retail, it's the D drive, which is not to be confused with the D drive of dev mode. that's part of the internal ssd, where the local folder is located I think for dev mode. since I have all my files, but that config, on the external hdd, I have to use separate config files. another thing you have to watch out for is the playlist, because the D drive is different between retail and dev mode, so I have to keep separate playlists on the external, named retail and devmode respectively.

my suggestion is to use clrmame pro and dat files. I don't know if there's one for ps2, but there's one for snes. I know that for sure. it will rename everything correctly.

They really need to make it less convoluted when changing from dev mode to retail mode, sounds like a PITA to me lol. I also don't like being forced to use a USB drive for RetroArch, let me just use internal storage you know? Much more convenient.

you can use internal if you want, but it will be a pita to update, at least with retail mode. I know in dev mode, you put the content in a folder at the root of developmentkit, but I don't think you can do that with retail mode. I think it has to be in local folder somewhere, and I was told not to use another app's, like a default one, for retroarch, because it could mess up that default app. once it's on your local folder, if you uninstall retroarch to install an updated version, all of that will be lost. I don't know if you can just update. I don't think you can, because the dev name changes as does the alphanumeric after it due to the dev account getting removed. it's always back within a week or so with a new name.

While it's true you can't update when the app is taken down, if it isn't taken down and it's still up, you can just update the app no problem. Oh, and the average period of time that it takes for an app to be taken down is 2 weeks, not one.

oh, I meant after it's been taken down. I thought it was like a week for it to be reuploaded with a different name/under a different account.

damn, I was just on discord, in gamr13's channel. he just posted a message: all retail versions of retroarch will now cease due to legal reasons.

I hope you aren't serious....

only way to tell is to wait till tomorrow. retroarch from the 29th (when he uploaded it again) is still active, just the link is disabled on gamr's github.

It's April 1st....

I know. that's why I said tomorrow.

You don't have to wait tomorrow for anything is my point. Link will be re-enabled tomorrow. There aren't any "legal reasons" to take it down.

well, I admit I was fooled.

yeah, I got the notification on discord. he said they should be up, but they don't seem to be. I still get that glitchy page where you can't select anything.
