For some reason I have dev mode in my apps. I have never used it or bought it before.
Edit: Never mind found out you still have to pay to activate it.

God of War for Ps2? Love to see a video and check out the framerate, I know Modern Vintage Gamer did a video how the S and how much of a beast it was for emulation. He was running dolphin on it with some framerate drops so gamecube, wii and even wiiU, can't wait to see if this will get more support or not.

I did not see any information about WiiU working, but GCN and Wii for sure.
For now I assume there's still a lot of work to optimise these cores and retroarch itself to use SeriesS and X to the fullest but for now it is all great and looks promising.

Then go here using the edge browser on your Xbox to download retroactive (retroarch). It also has a separate PSP one and an FTP client. You can download all if you want.

Yep ... I do wonder how long the retail version will last.

But once I get an Series X, I will opt in for dev mode almost instantly as well.
I must note one limitation which I have heared some people talk about for dev mode retroarch; games bigger then 2GB tend to have some issues loading. (correct me if im wrong here ... not an expert at all in this xbox realm)

g0t in!

The whole mame collection including all cart based consoles fit on a thumb drive. Prob keep me busy a day or two moving redream iso files and pppssspp and ps1 and 2 isos.

.

I already have some of these games on cpajuste's versions on the switch.
And also some on android phones works nice on the azor kishi. And tablet.
And on many many laptops and pcs I guess if we could put retroarch on a Samsung fridge we would do it

I probably wont spend too much time on retroarch, but I do fancy it on the series x.

real retro games that I do play is the championship edition with friends.
Alot of people think they can just step into my garage and woop my ass.
Thats what this arcade cabinet does, to you. It draws that out of people
But believe me when I say
I never lose in my own garage.

Did I noticed correct that you have to activate the dev mode for 19 $?
And is there any progress or good how-to-do-it-easy manuals somewhere ?
Especially the handling of file transfer and updating Retroarch is still waiting for an easier way, isn't it?

Unfortunately there's no tutorial on here. Maybe on some discords.
I'm using the "commercial" ver. of the app so I do not have the dev mode, I plan to buy it when the emulators will be more advanced.
For the file transfer you can use just usb hdd for your games, but for the ps2 you have to put them on ssd of the console itself. There's this "My Files Explorer" I used it to transfer games and it's good enough. I also saw somewhere ftp clients, but not sure where.

First thanks for your response ^_^
There isn't a chance to get the commercial version anymore, is it?
Yep, I found many vids and infos, but nothing that feels complete or up-to-date.
Is there an advancement anyway, some kind of progress thread only for XBOX One/Series ?
So, I can read all roms and isos from USB (except for PS2), so without the size limit of the internal SSD, right ?
Can I select the USB in the "Load Content" section ?
Do I really need to save different configs for each system and load them before change a system ?
Or is it possible to connect content or playlists to a special configuration ?
And what about playlists. Do I have to build them via PC or RetroArch itself ?

So from what I gathered it's not possible to get commercial version of the retroarch or PPSSPP now. Maybe in future it will be available again.

Yes you can select "Load content" and use your USB drive. For big games it can take a lot of time to load ROMs, I think it's because the console is copying the game to the drive before playing it, which is weird. There is also max 4gbs files that you can copy to the SSD

Yes you should have config files for emulators if you want to get the best performance out of console. It can be hard but also that's the fun of it.

You can either try to create playlist automatically by the retroarch or by yourself on the PC and then you can copy it to Xbox.

You can also check out this discord https://discord.gg/9u6wB4jm

Guys how do You think is there any possibility to run Citra (3ds emulator) core in our Series consoles? Im aware that Citra dont have DX11 and 12 render which is used by Xbox but i remember similiar problem in past witch N64 and Dreamcast emulation. There is a time when there was no possilibity of using them but with retroarch 1.8.3 n64 cores and dreamcast got ANGLE support which is (correct me if im wrong) some kind of Opengl to DX11 simulator. If belive similiar thing can be done for Citra or im am wrong?
