Retroarch on Xbox retail until Sunday

If you download it then you can always redownload it. If you don't get whitelisted before sunday then only Dev Mode will work after that date as its a private windows store sharing a file and he will be stopping for now after Sunday.

No it won't show in your recent downloads list apparently, the FAQ on the discord says that if you delete it from your console you can't get it back.

has anyone tried Dolphin? TimeSplitters 2 runs very slow in many scenes but in others it runs full speed.
it seems to be connected to how many objects are on screen at once.

resolution is not the issue I went from native res all the way up to above 4k and the speed of the emulation doesn't change.

the options in the Dolphin core seem to be very limited

hope i still get whitelisted, but else i can buy it after today? but just for dev-mode ?
Click to expand...

you can't buy it.
what they do here is a sneaky backdoor kinda thing to get the app out there.
they arw not allowed to put it on the public Microsoft Store but they can still distribute the app to people they handpick.

this is usually used by developers to give news outlets and reviewers preview access to their games beforehand.

the only way to get this without this white listing is using developer mode

are there tutorials on how to set everything up the best way possible?
Having this cross media bar layout for example, I'm still stuck with the stock menu... (plus asset update so it actually doesn't look like some Amiga menu anymore lol)
do you have to copy files from a PC/USB device or can you do everything important directly from the App's menus?

I updated everything that I found in the app itself but I'm no expert on retroarch

under settings there is a menu ui and you can change to xmb. Then save and exit out of retroarch.

oh ok, so it is preinstalled nice.

one thing tho, I've seen people play TimeSplitters 2 (dolphin) at pretty great framerates, but for me it struggles really hard.

do I need an update for the dolphin core and if there are updates do they just install right through retroarch or do you need to update them manually?

are you running the games on the local storage or remote. I've got this setup on a xbox one x since I don't have a series x yet. So I can't speak on that part as those wont run for me.

Any of you know how to move files around? I've been in the discord for a while but got tired and bored. I basically just want to copy my roms and save states from dev mode to retail mode. So it should be from S drive to Q drive. Someone there recommend I use the ftp from their link, which I did, but it only gives me access to Q drive.

You need an app called "My Files Explorer". I think you can find it on the Xbox Store for like $2.49.

it's all on internal.

I have a lot of issues in general with it.
right now for example TimeSplitters 2 won't load at all anymore, and I didn't change anything... really werid
 
Not sure if it's been said but he extended to next Sunday but he's only adding people once a day and not multiple times a day

Got it on my xbox one via whitelist. Does this add it to my account history or do i need to keep it on an external drive?

Not sure if its worth even testing on the one x. anyone here test it on the one? I was just prepping for Series X
 
They are shutting this down?, thats really a pity, I don't have a s/x and was playing some retro this weekend on my mac through redream, The "new" Atomiswave games are a blast! Definitely check them out ASAP!
 
can someone here who has it working show a tutorial of what to do cause i've got no idea what to do after downloading

I only tested Metrid prime on my One X, it runs like at sub 10 fps, the CPU is trash in that console.
 
so on Series X Dolphin, PS2 stuff and PSP stuff have issues for me.

for inexplicable reasons these just don't start, completely crash the app or even the system.

I had black screens on GameCube but after resetting my config file it suddenly worked, now after rebooting the console it doesn't even load the ISO whatsoever and hangs on a dark grey screen until I manually close the app.

SNES and 2D stuff in general don't have any issues so far. seems like some cores really make trouble

I'd recommend installing dev mode and using Retroarch there.

While mine has been working without issue on retail, I've read on Resetera that those who have issues usually find them gone if they use dev mode instead.

Then what do I need to do?

You get added to a whitelist which will give you access to download the apps. There's no indication when you get added, you just need to keep trying.
 
so i'm on the app

Load content instead of loading core. You get to choose the core you want to use afterwards.

looking in content i just see all the cores though, can't find any games. can't find any decent tutorials on youtube either most i find are using dev mode which i'd prefer not to do

Keep trying what?

sorry, i really don't get the concept.
 
The best thing is, if you downloaded the app, MS can't (and won't probably) retroactively take it away. Have fun with your emulator on your retail console lol. This is honestly incredible.

After you've downloaded it you need to get your legally acquired game ROMs on to your console. The easiest way to do that is to use the FTP app that is on the same link as the Retrospection app is.

first you have to go to settings and do the update assets and update cores options.

Download that FTP app, open it and click set local path, then click start down the bottom.

On your pc, download an FTP program - I like FileZilla - and connect to the local IP address that the FTP app on your Xbox shows on the screen.

FileZilla will now be connected to your Xbox! Go into the downloads folder on your Xbox via FileZilla (find the folder with "retrospection" in the name, then go in to Localstate, then you should see the download folder), make a new folder for GameCube etc. copy paste your gamecube roms into there. Supposedly you can't have more than 16gb per folder, so just try a few games at a time.

for some emulator Cores you'll need a bios dump from the actual console that you own. Using filezilla copy them to the System folder in retrospection on your Xbox.

now in retrospection on your Xbox you should be able to go Load Core, choose Nintendo - Dolphin / Wii, then Load Content, go to download folder/GameCube and choose your rom, and away you go :)

Do you have the dolphin_emu bios folder copied in to the system folder in retrospection? You'll also need a bios for ps2.

Have you actually got the ROMs for games and have transferred them to your Xbox? It doesn't come with any games.
