In 2013, Microsoft announced that it would be possible to turn any Xbox One into a dev kit, or almost. And they did!
The process requires you to create a developer account and paying $20 but after that you can code your own UWP apps or download buddies' apps and install them on your Xbox One. In other things.




Microsoft has kept this possibility for the Xbox Series, So the UWP version of RetroArch works on the Series X right now. The process is the same as on Xbox One and we imagine that it is the same for the Series S.
Casually Microsoft is the only one of the three manufacturers to offer this feature.​

The prospect of running retro under the power of the series x is tantalizing.....

 

[Craig of War]

This is probably why they don't try to hack the Xbox as much as the Playstation and Switch smart move by MS to offer this.

 

[MrFunSocks]

Does this still require you to do some annoying reboot and setting changes every time you want to switch between using retroarch and playing normal games?

 

[THE DUCK]

Even if it does, a reboot is much faster now, less of an issue.

Didn't even know this was a thing, really cool. Wonder what the performance is like for Dreamcast games, can't wait to dig into this.

Wait does this mean I can run emulators on a Series X? That's actually a stealth life hack for me if true.

Okay 2021, hurry up and get here so I can get me my Series X

But no working Saturn emu? Welp, Polymega > Series X it is then

(I'm joking; but actually Polymega is kinda neat for what it does. It's just nowhere near in competition with a Series X, Series S or PS5 though. Completely different market segments).

[Bitmap Frogs]

Dope.

 

[diffusionx]

Saturn is such a Chad console that not even 12tf can emulate it

 

[cheststrongwell]

Saturn emulation would be a lock for me. I preordered Polymega, but who knows when I'll see it.

 

[THE DUCK]

Wait, imagine ps4 emulation too? Hmmmm....well maybe not.

 

[wvnative]

Holy shit if Wii and gamecube work well goodbye shield hellllllllllllllllllo xbox

 

[teezzy]

How much of that already works on say... a Xbox One S?

Asking for a friend. He's a pirate.

 

[oldergamer]

Pretty sure your xbox has to be set up as a developer and you have to compile resources.

Some not so demanding consoles will work (dev mode is also available on Xbox One), however Jaguar is pretty shit, so don't expect miracles...

 

[INC]

Imagine Xbox Series X having better PS3 backwards compatibility than the PS5 itself.

At least it'll get to play some exclusives

 

[acm2000]

At least it'll get to play some exclusives

PS5 has literally 1 proper exclusive, astrobot, which is a free glorified controller tech demo and nothing to shout about.

The jaguar should emulate pretty much everything all the way to the n64 (except saturn and the odd arcade games).

I have looked into this and the constant rebooting and reconfiguration made the option much less tempting.

I tried the wii emulation on my one x and I loaded but was extreme slow. Wanted to try again with series x. As I liked the scooby doo games.

The Zen 3 CPU should chew through it, my emulation box has an old core i7 3750 or something and it runs pretty well all the way to the Wii (I should give the ps3 another try).

It would be pretty neat if rpcs3 got released on the series x and ran demon's soul at 60fps (there are patches for it)... The god of war games, the uncharted games, metal gear, Wipeout hd/fury, etc. Maybe it would light up Sony 's ass.

 

[The Fartist]

So XBOX Net Yaroze. Nice.

The new Edge Browser is out on Xbox, and emulation became even easier now it seems:




even tho this is not a full replacement for Retroarch, this is still something some might really like to use
