Hacking Official Xbox One Retroarch Thread

Quick one mate,
is there any reason files are stuck and can't be deleted? For example i have files(roms and states generated by retro itself) which are stuck in either of local state root or download folder and refuse to be deleted.
Considering my file explorer is patched , is there anyway to manually delete these roms or files? or i have to remove the app and re-install it again?

can you not use myfilesexplorer to delete those files?

@dominater01
No mate , myfileexplorer doesn't see the retro folders while i uninstalled it and after installed it again doesn't work.
You highlighted in one of my previous posts the MS has patched it and aint work if myfileexplorer removed and re-installed.
Is there any other way?

Thx mate, I wish team could fix more cores while Xbox as you said due to OpenGL issues doesn't support some of the good cores

I have an issue with scanning contents , where any scanned folder although finds the ROM or content doesn't appear. Maybe you can help pls

Can you pls check below videos I uploaded?

1) Automatic scan , finds all the rom but doesn't show anything in the list.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JUPbzi42ogjQ9c1dBcHg7R4Z89ttdudb/view?usp=sharing

2) Manual scan , finds the rom but shows them as generic ROMs also doesn't download any thumbnail for them

Appreciate if you check pls

Automatic Scan
For scan to work you need to go into the Directory settings and change file browser to the location of the Roms. For example my external is E drive so I changed file brows to locate Roms on E/Roms then it scans and adds them to a play list. Note if your roms are on an external every time you reopen Retroarch you'll need to keep setting file browser to the roms folder. it keeps the playlist you just scan but wont load roms unless you reset the directory if your roms are on the xbox Hd then you shouldn't need to reset the directory every time you reopen.

Manual scan
manual scan picks up files that didn't get auto scanned if it is a file type that dosen't match or like a Rom hack those don't get auto scanned, in my experience. You can manually scan them and add them to an existing play list or add them to a new one.

As far as thumbnails are concerned most of the manual scanned games I have don't download them. I think is because if the system didn't recognize it as a legit ROM then it probably wont recognize the thumbnail associated with that file type or know where to find a thumbnail for it. I think you can add thumbnails manually but I hasn't messed with that on xbox sry.

For the people that use retroarch on xbox one i have 2 questions. Is it worth getting a developers account to set retroarch up if you already have a way of usung emulators in retail mode?

Can you buy a developers account using a giftcard either from buying it normally or through using microsoft rewards points?

I had the same doubt some time ago. I bought a developer accout to test it. For me, it does not worth it. Unless you are a geek guy who is very curious and patient. Because the Retroarch for Xbox is VERY SLOW. I have the Xbox One X and I guessed I had more power. One strange thing for example: In Gamecube games lower the resolution does not affect the fps. I would like to play with lower resolution but higher fps. There is no change in performance. If you gets out of one Gamecube and Wii games the Retroarch closes and goes to the dev dash again. THIS IS VERY ANOYING. It's almost perfect from SNES to down. I did not test PS1. So, if you want to play from SNES to down it's very good.
I understand this is not developers fault. It seems Microsoft releases only 01GB of RAM for dev mode. And there are some problems using DirectX. Again: I understand this is not developers fault.

ya it works great with PSX on down. but anything like dreamcast, game gamecube, Nds, Wii, and some N64 titles it struggles. but it is still activly being worked on. so if your thinking of getting to devmode for a solid stable emulation experience stick with something els. but if you love testing out new builds and watching the scene grow on xbox and have money to spend of devmode go for it.

dreamcast runs perfect with the right settings
