How To Play Retro Games on XBOX Series S/X - NO DEV MODE!

[@Kaixfikwind]

I wish everyone would stop making us join Discord servers for anything.

Me too but we sadly live in a time of hiding so nothing bad happens.

[@bkproductions383]

What do you mean?

[@OGSERB]

Thank you so much for this. I don’t know why I was struggling so much with setting this up in retail mode. Finally was able to get these off of discord, except for retroarch, and it’s going great.

[@AndreiDrift]

Hi, can you please let me know if this stil works? I'm New to emulation and so on

[@TheCoolDave]

SOME Advice for people from someone who has been using this from the start on the series X. ON YOUR USB drive root, create folder called "saves" in that folder, create "Saves" and States". In the folder settings area, you want to set your location for your SAVES and STATES to the USB drive. Why? This makes all your saves portable and if you have NUKE these settings, it's very easy to retore your games and KEEP your saves. If you decide to USE RetroArch someplace else, you can pull the USB drive and copy a save or state out. I've lost saves a few times playing with this and I would suggest doing this so you can keep them with you Also, there is a setting called "start folder", set this to your USB games folder, when you select a game, it will start in that folder...

[@GazJrpg]

Curious do you use your main account or a dummy account? Would you recommend using a dummy account and playing offline to reduce the risk of being banned?

[@TheCoolDave]

@@GazJrpg You won't get banned for downloading it. I've been on Xbox live for well over 15 years, and I have used this from the start (well over a year and 1/2 now) and no warnings, or bans. The DEV who released it to the store will get the ban...

[@bkproductions383]

Just a heads up everyone: If you all notice, yes there is a standalone Dolphin UWP emulator, but unlike Retroarch and XBSX2, it is still in development. So even if you want to just dive right in, it’s not recommended. So give a week or a month or 2.

[@Liar]

Why’s it not recommended? Crashes and such?

[@bkproductions383]

@@Liar Yes and no. Crashes are here and there, but the main issues are the controls are sort of non-existent, there are no key binding and no hot-keys so if you want to leave the game, you have to quit the program, no UI, and literally everything else that makes these emulators good are not there. But each week there have been improvements, but the developers needs more time. But one step at a time, you know?

[@stevenm1832]

Waiting for the day to use Dolphin on my series x in retail mode as I heard you can use hd packs with the stand alone Dolphin. With the release of Mario Kart 64 HD the other day this would be fantastic.

[@bkproductions383]

@@stevenm1832 I also heard about that as well and the results are great. At least we can use that (sort of.) But being able to play any game like Pikmin 2, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, etc.,. in 4K and possibly 60fps (on some games) would be a dream. But at least we are getting closer.

[@FlintG]

Just got the apps on my fat xbox one and holy crap this is so cool! Finally I have a good emulation console now!

[@TheCoolDave]

Just be warned, on the classic Phat Xbox One, there is a limit on what it can do. I don't think you can do most PS2 games or even attempt Wii games on it. You do need a Series X to do higher end older consoles. It's a trial an error. Old School, Atari to N64 and even PS1, no problems at all, it should be rock solid.

(I am the partner account of BK Productions. Here to give you another sub for your hard work.) I have 2 questions; 1. Have you ever played Wii games where it is required you to use a remote on Retroarch and how to use it on a controller? 2. Can you play Nintendo DS games on Retroarch?

[@Restalgia]

Hey! 1. Wii is challenging controller wise. I've found only games with sideways Wiimote and classic controller work, but I haven't experimented much 2. Yes they should work, although you will likely need to map right analog as pointer for the touch pad

[@bkgamereview9395]

@@Restalgia Okay thanks. For the Wii I was curious since there are games like Pikmin and Legend of Zelda Skyward sword (I know it had a remastered on the Nintendo Switch but it's an example) that uses the pointer senser. So, using the pointer as a controller might be an issue unless someone figured out how to make it work. And for the DS, I thought it was only with for wishful thinking, but thanks for telling me it works. Anyway, thanks for everything, stay awesome and you are my number 1 man for emulators.

Ok, so this all worked fine with a flash drive, but is there any reason this did not work with am external game drive at all? The series X is not showing the D drive at all with the hard drive hooked up to it at all now, but the flash drive shows up with no problem when switched out. Oddly enough I did get it to work after turning the system off, and disconnecting the hard drive, then turning the system back on and reconnecting the drive after the system was already on.

[@Restalgia]

Yes you can do this via FTP, but i don't personally like this method. You are limited by a 30gb storage size. In the discord they do have instructions on FTP file transfer though

[@doppelsauger1334]

@@Restalgia thank you ill look into it

[@jamiecal11]

Hey man, enjoyed the vid a lot. Random q but any idea where I could find help for optimizing settings for a game? It's a pretty niche title (Gaelic Games: Hurling) that I want to get right as a surprise for my nephew, but saw someone else playing it earlier and it ran at like 20fps, and had a lot of visuals glitches.

[@RedCGaming]

If i have the old ps2 emulator how do i update it? Will downloading the new version update it or be seperate?

[@Restalgia]

It will update and replace it, however you will need to set up the configuration again.

[@abbasfadil6712]

I can't download anything on my xbox series s it says download is not supported on this device

[@sirninjap8752]

These links take me to tiny url website. Do I need to wait for updated link?

[@Restalgia]

Yes, you need to wait for the new links to be posted and for the links to be active.

[@waynetech9446]

Ok so I have another question I'm hoping you can answer. They've put up a newer version of the retroarch app on discord. Do I need to download that to update mine? Or will it just automatically update the one I currently have. Also, if I do have to re-download to update would have to setup everything all over again?

[@Restalgia]

Currently if you update you have to reconfigure everything again 😞

[@spacejamjai7183]

Can you make a updated version? I cant get it right man im finna just give ts up but i done tried for so long

[@ood26]

10:50 I don't have a D drive folder. It goes from C to G.

[@Restalgia]

Did you format your drive exactly how I showed in the video? You need to make sure you adjust all of the drive properties

[@TheYoutubeG.O.A.T]

does anyone know a good tutorial for getting roms and changing them from rar to iso? just installed the emulators but im a rookie at getting the roms.

[@kbjohnson85]

WinRar to extract the ISO from a 7z, rar, or zip file. Then, you can use CHDMAN to compress the ISO to CHD to save storage space, if needed.

[@venom1395]

I got retroarch in retail mode, but I have to be signed in to use it. Is It possible to use it offline?

[@majd5251]

yes

[@bkproductions383]

It's probably annoying seeing me here but whatever. Anyway, I tried to do Retro arch (Your steps were great) but for some reason when I tried to play GameCube and Wii games it runs REALLY bad. Clean at first then 10 frames a second later. Do you have any tips? (Also, DS, Game boy and such runs great.)

[@Restalgia]

Many games are not optimized to run on the Xbox yet and the core performance will improve with time. What we are all hoping is for a dolphin stand alone emulator to be released which would be ideal for game performance on wii and gamecube.

[@bkproductions383]

Okay, thanks and sorry. But yeah hopefully a stand-alone like XBSX2 or time.

[@bkproductions383]

Update: Oh look at that, there is.

[@laymay4703]

Where can I download the games from? I’m kinda new to this and wanna play Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 on my Xbox Series X.

[@bkproductions383]

I hate being that guy, but sadly we can’t legally explain where to find them so I recommend going on a Google Journey for them. But I recommend on using anti-virus software so if you find a site that has games but also including malware you can have insurance. Total Virus is what I use, saved my skin from time to time.

[@ninjapec8756]

If I have DurangoFTP, do I still need to use pendrive? Or can I just send then to the Xbox without any problem?

[@Restalgia]

You don't need the usb if you ftp your data, but you only can use 30gb of onboard storage, so you will be limited in terms of titles.

[@ninjapec8756]

@@Restalgia Tks bro

[@eren7340]

Can I still use my usb to download regular Xbox games or do I need one for the sole purpose of emulation

[@bkproductions383]

You need one for sole purpose since it’s being run as media.

[@theghastlygamer5326]

When i go tosystem name there are no names listed like in yours it makes me do a custom one

[@Troyaholic1]

Can you play any retro game with this emulator ??

[@russelllavado321]

Everything is super clear but How can I get all the game to Throw on the USB??

[@bkproductions383]

What do you mean by Throw?

[@DosLobos]

Edge on Xbox x won't allow download. What to do now? Cheers

[@UziTuked]

I have a question, Is there a way to get the space back on your internal storage on the xbox from emulating

[@bkgamereview9395]

Mainly deleting the emulators since the games and bios are being run on the HDD. Not the system.

[@Don-mr7uu]

How you go from formatting the usb to game files already on your usb..how do I put the game fikes on the usb..you skipped that step..I don’t what I’m doing and nobody seems to have a step by step video..everybody skips over stuff

[@bkproductions383]

Because at that step he has his games and bios. He can’t explain where to get the games since it’s illegal to say. (Like he described.) But if you want to know HOW; (Windows) - [Downloaded file] - Downloads - Drag and drop file to location on usb. Follow along to the video on how they should all be structured.

[@OhHaiMahk]

Where are your sources for the BIOS files?

[@bkproductions383]

Google. It’s illegal to share BIOS/ROMS on public. So you are better on searching in Reddit and the such. But please be aware of Malware, so I recommend on using a software called total viruses to scan for viruses. Saved my Bacon a couple of times.

[@lazyfifty50]

Where can I download games setups ??

[@itsmehere1]

I did the Playlist thumbnail update and I saw it downloaded the right game files but it still says no thumbnail available, do I need to change some setting for it to load the thumbnails?

[@bkproductions383]

This issue isn’t new. Retroarch sometimes gets the thumbnails right, but usually there won’t be any. So don’t worry you did nothing wrong.
