Hello everyone,
First thing's first, I am aware of this guideline on the xbox live creator program: " Apps that emulate a game system are not allowed on any device family"
But here is the thing. I am noticing a lot of other guidelines that are written, but they do not seem enforced. Like this: "Your app must not contain any content that facilitates or glamorizes the use of weapons against a person, animal, or real or personal property"
Yet, there are games on the creator's program like this one: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/death-goat/9nz2cfll06gr?rtc=1&activetab=pivot:overviewtab
And I am looking at the Microsoft store right now, and I still see ZX spectrum emulator, and C64 emulator.
My question is, is it still impossible to release retrix on the xbox one via the creator's program? Has anyone actually tried?

Update: There is also an emulator called "Laserdisc game emulator" that is currently available on the windows store that is basically a "dedicated gaming system emulator".
