retroarch is setup so that if only one core exists for that rom then it will boot with one core
I downloaded your BIOS pack on mediafire and It worked Fine with odyssey and 3do cores on PC. But with the same pack and same cores on Xbox one didnt work. BIOS are correctly indicated on retroarch.
Any advice?

They're on USB. But I can tell thats not a folder problem, cause Pc engine core recognize the BIOS and works fine, for example.
You should put them in the system directory as dominator suggested, remember how 1 in 10 gamecube games would work from USB with the dolphin core? Probably the same situation with your bios files.

Your instruction helped a LOT.

-Odyssey 2 worked.
-3DO worked, but I had to choose ISO file when loading a rom, instead of selectinf CUE file.

Thanks, everyone.

Now be prepared: 3DO and Magnavox odyssey 2 NEED BIOS file on internal storage.

Can anyone tell my why I keep getting this error when trying to install on my xbox one x? I've installed things on my One S and it worked but that was ages ago using Retrix.

Choose dependency file to x64

You only need the one x64 dependency file. I doubt the application will run properly without it. Hence the word "dependency"

Hi there @XVMM,

I saw your work here -

https://gbatemp.net/threads/info-xbox-one-getting-somewhat-started.517582/

Excellent work.

I don't know how familiar you are with our current conundrum with the UWP port, but basically the slow file I/O is really hindering the potential of this port. Would you have any idea how we could get unfettered filesystem access on Xbox One in some way?

I was previously thinking that it might be a good idea to try to create a separate version of RetroArch based on this -
https://github.com/xboxoneresearch/XRF

It would be nice if it gives us the potential to have a real Win32 port of RetroArch to Xbone. However, since getting any video seems to be a big 'if' right now with this method, I don't think it's quite there yet for our usecase here?

It'd be amazing if you could help us figure out ways that we could make the current RetroArch port a bit better. The main issue is the file I/O performance since everything has to be async, which leads us to have to wrap a lot of code in pretty inefficient ways in RetroArch (through the VFS implementation -

https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/blob/master/libretro-common/vfs/vfs_implementation_uwp.cpp

then on top of that, all the access requests you need to make to get a file stream handle with UWP is highly inefficient, so we are really getting smothered so far when it comes to file I/O and it's just a big drag on the port in general. If it weren't for this issue, the Xbox port would be so much better right now.

You may want to try the discord, you'll get a more direct answer?

and thank you for trying to get the Port progressing again :) I/O and the lack of Angle are really the main holdbacks with the port atm.
