Official Xbox One Retroarch Thread

Hi all! @dominater01 thanks a lot for your file manager you pointed me to on youtube,

I have a problem for whatever reason I canto load more than 5 gigs of roms I've tried to increment the allowed space, I go to the menu but the bar won't move past the 5gb size, also I can't load roms from usb, retroarch shows an error about "content can't read"

Is there any solution?

Edit, solved the space problem, but still can't load games from USB.

 

Can Anyone recomend a path folder to store the Games? it seems that If I try to do it on the retroarch folder there is a size limit. Where are you putting them?

 

Settings>drivers>video>dx11

 

got the install and everything working fine, I have a question about dolphin. is there a way to force 16:9 in the options? it’s listed without any values to choose from and I cannot find any other way to combine it with widescreen codes

 

playlist not working. how do make them on pc?

 

yes.

 

This worked for getting the rom to play again, thanks guys. Unfortunately the controller input problem still persists. I've already tried tinkering with controls while the rom is running multiple times with no luck. Is there some specific option I am missing here?

Edit: Cancel that, I found the option that appeared after the rom started to switch controller type. Just gotta fiddle with the buttons now. Thanks again guys!

 

I have installed everything fine. The weird thing is I can't figure out how to use an external usb drive. U plug in multiple drives and retro don't see any if the drives. Is there a specific format and specific folder I have to create to read my drive and roms?

 

@solitaire4eva Have you tried to let the xbox format the drive itself and then putting the roms on it? I think that should work.

 

@dominater01
After 1.9.0 , any newer version will be subscription or purchase base?!

Btw , as per discord instruction i have filled in the whitelist form. How long does it take to be whitelisted?

because when i open the retroarch link(github link) in Xbox edge browser, opens the MS store but prompts "Something went wrong"
Is it because i have not been whitelisted yet?

Thx mate

 

thats a terrible idea and wont work

the usb has to be either fat32, ntfs or exfat and on dev mode for retroarhc its drive E and on retail its drive D

 

Funny thing is I installed the retroarch app from this thread and the dependencies and now it recognize my ntfs formatted drive no problem on the Xbox series s. Been playing dreamcast games for a few hours no problems and full speed ..

 

@dominater01
Thanks a lot mate , whitelisted and have installed both the Retro and PPSSPP.......Don't wanna brag but donated as well to both you and T3 (sry couldn't do more)


One simple question , Do we have the 2Gig limit in native xbox (non-developer) as well? I tried to run a PS2 game but failed but SNES or Sega or GC working fine . I run the games from an external USB Storage , should i move them to internal?

 

Is setting up retroarch on SX the same as X1? Curious to see how ps2 is running on SX. Does it work on X1? Really tempted to test retroarch on that first fearing ima brick my SX.....

 

as far as im aware no the limit on retail isnt possible cuz we cant go to that directory on retail

all xbox one's are setup the same when it comes to dev mode stuff

 

Well i meant is the setup for Series X the same as Xbox 1. I setup my Xbox 1 but I can't seem to use the portal correctly. I can only add files once? I have to delete theb itll let me add files again? I only tested Yoshis Island for Snes, mainly to see if I can do it on my Series X without Bricking it.

My main question, is the pcsx2 core on Series X already or do I have to wait for it to be released? If I can add the core where do I go about doing so?

 

the core is already available in the latest retroarch and works on all xbox one models

also you were hitting a 2gb limit so do this

(Xbox One) Retroarch - How To Bypass 2gb Limit (Dev Mode) - YouTube

 

Well i installed on me Series X and placed the game in the roms folder but still can't find it in Retroarch. I'm assuming its because I don't have bios? I'm also not using a flash drive.....I dont get to select drives like in your video......The game is on the hard drive but its not in the downloads folder in localstate. I also don't know how to reach the roms folder in file explorer.

If i could find it in explorer I should be able to just move it to the correct director

Edit: found it but it fails to load. It says core does not support VFS. Now i think this is because of bios?

 

VFS means that the core in retroarch does not support usb devices. So you would have to copy the games to your internal storage.
