Just wanna point out that you *can* get the basic Wiimote motion stuff mapped on Dolphin (e.g. Twilight Princess's swordplay, Metroid Prime's aiming & NSMBW's spin jump), but you have to configure it on the PC version of Dolphin first (connect your Xbox controller via USB and set it as the controller for these configs), then copy the .ini files to their respective folders on your Dolphin folder on your Xbox USB drive. You can also copy over textures and save data, may take some doing but I managed to get all my old Wii/GC saves onto my Series X!

I really struggle with bezels/overlays and filter/shaders and optimizing them for Retroarch on my RG353M, my Raspberry Pi 4 and my PC. Knowing what's out there, what are great option for emulating specifiq devices, what overlays/bezels work on which aspect ratio and which shaders run well on which handhelds is such a hassle to just get an overview and the required knowledge. Therefore, I really would love a video explaining and summarizing this Russ style. :)

I am a huge fan of emulation and I'm glad Russ is really leaning hard into why - sure for some people it is price, but a bigger reason is access. It's crazy to me that these game companies will fart out lazy ports when they could easily support their own emulation solutions and have their entire back catalogs available on their modern systems, or better yet, on a PC or Android platform. Sadly greed wins the day. So piracy it is

It’s not really that simple. There are so many hurdles on occasion where re-releasing games of the past just won’t ever happen. Some games have licensing agreements and contracts that simply don’t allow them to be “re-released” without the game publisher shelling out more money to compensate individuals and license holders. It’s a great wish, but this will simply never happen uni-laterally across the board. And I’m with in that I wish that would happen but it won’t.

@MileTailsPrower157

8 ай бұрын

Idk about this game, but some games (like twilight princess), are literally unplayable unless you use a patch for the game to run full speed, because twilight princess has such a problem in Emulation that only way to run well is with the Hyrule field speed hack for example (I recommend you check it out), and shadow of the colossus runs exactly like the PS2 in battles against the colossus, but there are some slowdowns and visual glitches in the map, but it's still playable (I even beat the game this way), I think it would run just at normal speed if I messed more with the emulator settings, so there's definitely some few games (only a few that I've tested), that don't run at full speed, but expect a lot of them to play really good, like spiderman 2 PS2 and spiderman ultimate even at 1440p on a series s, so the Emulation is really good, only a few games here and there might have any major problem, but don't worry to much about them

The best option is synchronous, since the sttuter is very brief, and the Dolphin will create a shader cache, so it only will get better with time. I used to use Hybrid Ubershaders, but on the last version of Dolphin, it seens that the stuttering got way worse. So, synchronous it is.

Hello quick question I’m planning on doing this. I had a look at your guide and got to the part about hardrives, I have one formatted for my Xbox already. Will I be able to use this hardrive or will I need to buy a new one to format it to my computer

I'd love to see moonlight on the Xbox as well, so I could use it for emulation and then as a streaming box for my PC. Mostly for that sweet sweet steam library that continues to grow with every sale...

I love that the Series S exists, its a budget way for people to jump into the latest generation and it has amazing emulation as shown, I know a lot of people are cheesed with the fact its somewhat holding back development but compared to the vast accessibility it offers I'm OK with that trade.

Guys! We can play our Nintendo Gameboy games on your xbox's! IT'S LIKE WE'RE LIVING IN THE FUTURE!!!

Yeah retroarch does have a bit of learning curve i think it'd be worse on oc though, I have no experience with the xbox version of retroarch but for the pc the most confusing to me was theres core specific settings and overall settings (emulators within retroarch basically). A big example is you have 2 menus to set up your controls: 1 the core console and 2 the overall one, so if you have a different controller you would first want to set it up in the main menu and then in the quick menu(which is the core menu) and keep in mind what controlls you put in for the overall menu.

​@@Sk8erVandyyes you can do this on the original xb-1, in fact, Microsoft made that statement a couple of weeks into the release of the xb-1...dev. mode has been available for every xb-1 after that, so well over 10 yrs now...yes, there will be limitations on how the games play obviously cause of the outdated hardware... there are videos that show demos of the games running in dev. Mode on xb-1... From what I remember it can play up to PS1 almost flawlessly... The series s and x are pretty much the same although some games do run better on the x up to GameCube, Wii, switch and PS2 and a handful of PS3 games on the series x... As for original Xbox games, that has more to do with the emulator optimization than the hardware. I don't even think there is an emulator available within retroarch or standalone that is available on UWP which is what is needed for Xbox. But I could be wrong since the emulation scene is constantly changing almost every week... I know emulating original Xbox games on a mid level PC is rather hard today so it's unlikely that we'll see progress for that on emulators for Xbox before PC's. A good channel to follow who is constantly keeping track of the emulation scene is Mr. Sujano. A red headed bearded guy.

One thing to consider is the main developers that ported and updated these emulators had their personal accounts and consoles banned due to uploading apps to retail in July. So new emulators and updates to current ones are going to be very limited going forward. If you already have a series s, you can use it for emulation. But if you only want a system for emulation, consider a PC. Xbox will likely never be able to do other systems like Wii U, 3DS, Switch, PS3, ect. In addition to developers being banned, those require OpenGL and/or Vulkan support which Microsoft isn't going to add.

I wish there was a way to stream from Dev mode. I just ordered an Odin Lite and it would be great to be able to stream to it from the Xbox Series S

Hello, I have question, is emulation on X runs any better or the performance is really similiar and its more depend on emulators itself, Thank you ! :)

PROTIP: 1st- for Retro Game Corps: It would be helpful to mention that the few hiccups you experienced in some games may not be present on the series X since it is the more powerful of the 2....cruisin usa would run just fine on the series X... Also, consider running a crawl at the bottom of the screen throughout your video that says "Microsoft will NOT ban you for using this developer mode method." I have to commend you for the patience you have in answering the same question over and over again. For Commenters - 2 - This is nothing new. Microsoft has allowed this developer mode access since the original xbox 1, (about 10 yrs now) - they have said in interviews plenty of times that they know some people will use their consoles for emulation just like people use pc's for emulation. The logic behind their decision is instead of having people finding ways to mod their console and potentially ruin it. they will let you do whatever you want in a controlled environment...that being developer mode....which you pay $20 ($19 really) directly to Microsoft to get access. So once again NO, microsoft will NOT ban you for using emulators IN DEVELOPER MODE. 3- If you're not hip to the emulation scene then I suggest you google your questions...asking if it can play this, that, or the other is very redundant... how would russ know when a particular emulator will be available if he does not work developing said emulator? he just showcases the ones that are available. 4 - If you want to know if and when a particular emulator will be available for your console then reach out to the DEVELOPMENT TEAM for that emulator. most of them are on social platforms, particularly on reddit and/or discord. They usually update their work progress weekly. 5 - Learn to read past the headlines in articles....Just reading "Microsoft bans Emulators" isn't/wasn't the full story. That's called a clickbait headline. If you actually read the whole article, they explain that it was only retail mode which is the regular mode in which your xbox operates. Microsoft never approved this method; it was simply a hack to bypass developer mode that they simply didn't prioritize in patching it up. Now they did.... I hope this covered 90% of the questions asked cause reading the same questions over and over can get tiresome. now go play some videogames.

For your first point, this is incorrect as Series S and Series X have essentially the same performance in emulators. I also should add that there are no plans for additional emulators at this time

@@UR0WNDAD not quite...go look at a few videos comparing the 2 with N64, psp, and PS2...the series X runs them better....I didn't say there are more emulators coming. I was addressing the countless people asking if it can run this or that emulator to ask in the forums where the developers of those emulators have updates regarding those emulators.... if they announce that they are creating a UWP version of said emulator then they would find out about it there instead of asking every KZreadr, when is it coming to their platform?

well said. That said, the same people who don’t do a web search before asking questions, are the same ones who won’t read your comment before asking questions. I commend you on posting this info, but some people want info spoon fed to them.

Highly recommend Gundam vs Gundam Next Plus for the PSP. Amazing game I have played it for 10 years plus now and I still love it!

Honestly, the Xbox division of Microsoft is one of the best companies for consumers. They’re way more dedicated to customer experience than Nintendo and Sony. It’s like it’s run by real gamers. Very unlike the larger Windows-driven Microsoft.

Yeah, Microsoft is so consumer friendly they tried to put always online with the xbox one. They also took off emulators for the retail mode so you have to use development mode in order to use emulators. Because they are so customer friendly. Ha

​@@maxducoudraythey might be right now. But don't forget, xbox one was going to be an always online device. It was only after significant backlash and saying it wasn't possible to patch it out that they patched it out.

Is there a video on the full setup with launchers?

Hey Russ I’ve been following you for a while you the reason why I bought a 353v and I LOVE IT. You opened my eyes to Xbox emulation and I followed your guide on how to get it and retroarch up and running and I followed your instructions to a T. Nonetheless I still got “failed to open libretro core” for every core I tried and games. I take a look at the logs and i get “parameter unknown.” I think I’ve been trying for about a week. And I got it to work after installing and uninstalling. But the cores can’t be read off my usb stick of 512gbs but for my core directory I press start to restore to default and the path. It gives me is an S: drive so I’m assuming cores can only be read off the systems memory and not usb stick. Maybe you can look into why that happens. Thank you have a great holiday!

Also I’m using a MacBook so i could not map my Xbox and X: drive and to get my usb stick ready I used a windows VM

Can you use remote play while using emulators? That seems like a big win being able to emulate all those on any device from your xbox

I was conflicted on whether I should get a PS5 or the Xbox Series X. This video convinced me of my purchase. And honestly, I just want to play some Perfect Dark (2000/2010)

12:19 Do you know if that Wingman adapter works with GameCube controller through the USB adapter for Wii U/Switch?

I've long switched to PC from my old Xbox, but would the same setup work for Xbox one for lightweight titles? Just curious not necessarily planning to mess with it./what's the max it can do

Question, since I'm new to emulation and i really want to play older PS1/2 games but i no longer have the system😅 How does emulation amd save data work with games that were originally multiple discs long, like Xenogears? Would I simply load up my disc 2 rom and it would read my disc 1 save data, or is there more to it than that?

@jacobbillups4715

Great question and luckily the answer is even simpler than you thought. The whole game will be one ROM and there will be an option in the menu to change discs when prompted. So Instead of loading a disc 2 ROM you just choose the change disc menu prompt. This also means the same save file is good throughout

Is Xemu available on the Xbox Series yet? Because that would be cool. I'd have no idea how to get it, though.

How did you get that custom Dolphin menu at 9:09?

20:43 honestly the only game I want to emulate is Champions of Norrath, good to hear it runs well on the series s. It is the whole reason I started researching emulation on xbox freal though.
