Your video was a life saver. My retroarch stopped working out of nowhere and couldn't read my usb. I just deleted my retroarch after backing up my games and redownloaded using your instructions. My retroarch is now more organized thanks to the provided folders. Thanks.

I'm writing this comment to thank you. Without you, I would have never been able to test emulation on the Xbox; very few people make videos as good as yours. And since the Dev Mode requirement, I was afraid you would stop making your tutorials. Fortunately for me, that's not the case. Thank you so much!

Man this is such a random comment but I found your channel from your retrotink4k comparisons and ended up watching them all for the whole duration while I did gamedev work in the background. Then today I got bored and thought I would try emulation on the Series X, googled guides, this came up and about 20 mins into the video I thought "this dude sounds familiar", checked the name and it realised it was you. I just checked your channel and saw all the guides. I subbed like a month ago for the retrotink4k comparisons but didn't realise I'd stumbled onto this goldmine of a channel. Anyway long winded way to say you're a legend and thanks for the all the videos, they are so easy to follow and also straight to the point, I'm using all the Series X tutes right now.

Hello! I got all the way to the following step in your guide 20:06 , but once I reached this point my "manage cores" page only shows an "Install or Manage a Core" option, so it appears that for some reason I don't have any cores downloaded by default like the way your guide shows. I went to "online updater" and tried to manually download cores, but I get an error that says: "failed to install core XXX". Any recommendations on what I could do next to get cores successfully installed on retroarch?

But everytime I come back to dev mode to play again, my menu screen reverts back to the 8-bit style and my USB drive suddenly isn't readable anymore and I can no longer see the games within my folder on retroarch....it happens every single time. any idea what the problem is?

I've set this up a few times now due to updates, and the Directory setup section always goes a bit too fast, where I need to set the speed to 0.25x. I wrote down which directories get changed and what the values are in the video so it can be easily referenced in the future - if they aren't listed, they weren't changed as far as the video goes! System/BIOS - E:\RetroArch\system Assets - E:\RetroArch\assets Thumbnails - E:\RetroArch\thumbnails Configs (Now listed as Configuration Files) - E:\RetroArch\config Core Info - E:\RetroArch\info Cheat Files - E:\RetroArch\cheats Video Shaders - E:\RetroArch\shaders Overlays - E:\RetroArch\overlays Playlists - E:\RetroArch\playlists Save Files - E:\RetroArch\saves Save States - E:\RetroArch\states System Event Logs - E:\RetroArch\logs Hope this helps! (or maybe I'll use my own comment for reference in the future at the very least) :)

I've also seen recommendations to lock additional Angle cores in addition to Mupen64 as mentioned in the video. Instructions are as follows below. Settings > Core > Manage Cores > Lock and Backup the following: Nintendo - Nintendo 64 (Mupen64Plus-Next) Nintendo - Nintendo 64 (ParaLLEI N64) Sega - Saturn (YabaSanshiro) I'm including Mupen64 for completion's sake and future reference. Personally speaking, I don't know if these additional cores are still necessary to lock and backup, but I'm just bringing this recommendation forward here as I've seen it discussed and referenced to add to the setup tips of my original post.

I was satisfied with my older build of Retroarch(that I installed with the help of your video) but I’m going to have to reinstall because after Safe Exiting back to retail mode, I got an E200 error and had to factory reset. Even though I pressed the button to keep all games and apps, My Retroarch, safe exit and everything I had in Dev mode had been wiped out. So I’m starting from scratch. Has anyone else here had this problem? How can I prevent this in the future? My wife and brother also experienced this same issue on their respective Xboxes, so we’re all going through the same recovery process.

@martijn439 8 ай бұрын

Hello David, I am not very familiar or knowledgeable with the xbox but I faced this E200 issue aswell while exiting with safe exit. The problem that is probably occuring is that you did not have enough free space on the console (that was the issue for me, i had to delete all and start from scratch). I hope you managed to find the source of the problem.

Only question I have is how to have a game register a memory card. For example I'm trying to play DBZ BT4 which has save data on a memory card that I have set up but the game refuses to register it. Is it the game itself or am I missing something?

Is there a reason why every time i try to accept and continue the account information, it gives me an error that says “Microsoft runs on trust. We engage in a rigorous set of evaluation and certification processes; as a result your request was blocked. If you require further information please reach out to Microsoft support with reference number: and transaction ID: .” I tried to sign up dozens of times but it ends up in the same result.

Greetings. I've been a fan and subscriber since the first videos regarding Dev mode. And enjoy both your livestreams and videos. It's been a while since I last updated my Retroarch. I followed the guide again. However the Retroarch version for download is without cores. For Ålaystation I downloaded both Beetle PSX and SwanStation, however I can't seem to get the same results as before. Going above 4x resolution makes the screen go smaller, Premptive frames doesn't work. I'm I doing something wrong or are the cores just not working properly for Series S as of current version? Anybody having these issues?

Do you know if there is a way to force the system to stay in dev mode and shutdown normally? How it works on mine is if I click shutdown, it reboots and I have to leave dev mode, let console reboot, then shutdown. I would like to use my 2nd console as an exclusive retroarch console but don't see a way to stop it from needing to kick back to retail every time. It's not that big of a deal, but would be nice to not have to do that each time.

Hello, thanks for everything, I used your videos to set up retroarch on my old series S and it was awesome. Now Im trying to apply it to a new one. I cannot continue from 14:40 because there is no option to continue after clicking on advanced. It just simply goes to a screen that offers "hide advanced" and "reload". Any help would be so appreciated, thank you :)
