Just to let everyone aware, when you're about to access retroarch to set up the files, according to the tutorial you're supposed to access the S: drive, but something changed recently and now you'll have to access unit D:. Don't know what happened, but that's working nice.

Of all the tinkering I've been doing with retro gaming over the last year or so (thanks to your great guides and videos), this is easily my favorite device. Having a neat, clean, powerful box that can do modern games, a big library of games to try from GamePass, all of the retro consoles I want, and media streaming in a compact, reliable, good-looking box makes this my go-to right now. The only place where the Series S rates lower for me is with the controller options. I might have to pick up the 8bitdo xbox wired controller for this. Otherwise I suspect this box is going to be with me for a long time. Sidenote, I appreciate your great technical writing and documentation skills. You don't get enough credit for that! Clear writing (like in your guides) is such a treasure to find. Hope your "retirement" transition goes well and we'll all look forward to seeing more videos from you.

Not only did you make me want to unpack my Hyperkin Megaman x91 (I even forgot I had it) But you also named Archades' channel as a place of incredible resource. I learned all I know on retrograding my Series box from Archades' channel. But you sir easily earned a new subscriber with this. Thanks.

Thanks heaps for taking the time to make this vid 👍Have previously played with RetroPi on an underpowered Linux Mint lappy but this was a whole different story ... can finally get all the good stuff and currently have SNES and PCEngine/GrafX up and running nicely thanks to you with the written guide being a bonus. Slow and steady from here on in. Again TYVM 😁

you're really great at explaining things, i usually have to rewind multiple times to understand these tutorials

I set this up through developer mode on my Series X when I first got it last year and I learned how to do it all through Archades' channel... Kudos to you for giving him props on this. He had a guide up for it so early on, he def deserves a lot of credit!

Russ u are a national treasure! Finding your channel was one of the tech highlights of the year!

This is very helpful and informative thanks . Hope to see more of this sort of stuff on this channel in the future .

Great vid! Regarding controllers, I actually like the Xbox ones but the Hyperkin pads aren't the best for the long term so I would only consider it on sale. As far as the Brook Wingman, I dont have that particular model but I have the similar one for using modern pads on Sega Saturn and Dreamcast. They are good but just be ready for some initial cumbersome button mapping depending on the controller you use, and always check for firmware updates out the box. After setup though, they are solid.

Best video I’ve seen on this. Great stuff. Two things: 1) I very much recommend also installing Safe Exit, as mentioned by Archade, and using that to quit out of DevMode, so you don’t ever risk not unticking the “please delete everything” box. 2) Mupen randomly sometimes just boots games with sound only, and a black screen. Are there any known fixes, or do we just wait until Retroarch gets updated? Thanks. 😊

A full written guide for just wiimote emulation would be useful. Or a whole bloody wiki. And a function similar to a N64 emulation plugin we had about 200 computer years ago. It offered a few different game profiles (with an option to make your own), targeted fps games mostly and allowed you to play them with keyboard (wsad) and mouse. It came with just a few profiles, but you could usually find an appropriate one (as long as you were playing an fps).

I plan on putting retroarch on an external flash drive. If I do that, I don't have to put retro arch on my xbox right? and do I still have to have 100+ gigs separated on my xbox for the dev kit app? or can I just keep it at 2 gigs? Thanks in advance for any answers. and Merry Christmas!

Question! When you're mapping the directory, could you hypothetically map Retroarch on the Xbox to the same folders you have in Retroarch on the PC to be able to switch seamlessly back and forth between devices on the same save states?
