Got Series X recently, tried it, works great and love it - but I'm curious... if I'm willing to pay for developer mode would it be better and easier to buy it and use it or is retail mode version superior to that? For me, switching to devmode wouldn't be a big issue, so I'm looking for some dev mode advantages to know if I should buy it or just stick to this.
Dev Mode allows you to have more control over the installed apps, such as being able to manually manage the cores used in RetroArch for example. And if you would rather have games stored in the internal Xbox storage, Dev Mode allows you to allocate more storage towards that, Retail only has 30 GB to offer in contrast which you can't increase (moot point if you would use a USB Drive instead).
And finally, you don't have to worry about the app being taken down the store with Dev Mode like you do in Retail mode. Plus, AetherSX2 received a UWP port which can be used in Dev Mode only if you are interested in emulating PS2 games. So that's another reason to get it.
Not gonna lie, i wish i could use Paypal to purchase dev mode, but unfortunately it will not let me!
I there, im using retail mode and can acess to localfolder but in there i can't see the retroarch folder. I need this to transfer only the wii rom's because im having troubling playing them on my usb. Sticks on blach screen. I read on the web that dolphin core don't work well on usb roms. In the other hand, i can play them on usb but with TNavigator and not retroarch.
Edit: Resolved !!!!! In the comments on youtube that is posted: "
For anyone who is having trouble finding the retroarch file under localfolder, go to your xbox, go to your file info on your retroarch app & match the full name from there and the folder you’re trying to find under localfolder. If it matches, that’s your retroarch app. Mine were bunch of random numbers"
Edit2: Super mario work for the first time but when i change de directory folder it stop working. It stucks on black. I dont think i change anything else. Gonna try default config
Edit3: It worked. Reset config anf it work. Gonna try fig why! Also, you can have the rom in a usb drive but the folder of dolphin must be on the xbox and the directory must read from there. other wise dolphin system files on the usb dont load.

Theres a warning:This is the exact page I have. The only option is downloading his AppStore, which leads me to a blank MS Store page.
WARNING: Due to Microsoft breaking the Dev Mode purchase page, no more public apps can be uploaded. My Patreon page is **STILL ACTIVE** for now.
They're up again, on the app. Read it on discord, but it's through an app store that Microsoft seems to have taken down for now.

Pondered about the switch, but had bought the pokemon one not long ago and I don't really need two switches (gave my previous one to a cousin). -
