[@MichaelBTryn]

I cannot find the Dev Devices section on my account....

[@barnun4925]

Never been good with computers or a tech guy so this tutorial was really helpful. Thanks for putting those in a language thst even a dummy like me can understand. Awesome video

[@ConsoleLoop]

Glad it helped!

[@kaseyrolow]

So you need to have a pc I get that but is all the typing and setting he’s changing in screen done on the Xbox or pc? Sorry I’m new as well

[@carljohnson4285]

What's a good Xbox emulator that's compatible for dev mode? I wanna play old xbox games I never had the opportunity to play when I was a kid

[@ConsoleLoop]

Currently, there's not an Original Xbox emulator available on Xbox Series X|S.

[@fredygonzalez1661]

Hey I’ve been wondering what’s under the performance tab?

[@ConsoleLoop]

It's similar to the task manager on a PC.

[@fredygonzalez1661]

@@ConsoleLoop could you make a video about it, I can’t find one on YT or Reddit

You're talking about the performance tab on the Xbox Device Portal right?

Do you need a usb drive? or can you use internal storage?

Where can I find a link to the AetherSX2 emulator on Xbox Series S?

[@ConsoleLoop]

Visit our website and on the front page click the "Xbox Series X|S UWP Apps" page. That has most of the emulators latest version but you should download XBSX2 instead since it's more up to date.

[@SketchModsThings]

This was extremely helpful! Thanks!

[@SuperKomojo]

I have emulators running but am interested about building something, can you go more in depth of the process you used to build Labyrinth Void or other mentioned gamer apps

[@ConsoleLoop]

I used GameMaker Studio 2 when it supported UWP games, which it no longer does. It now only supports the Xbox via their GDK Extension, but you have to be approved for the ID@Xbox program to publish games with it, which is why I never looked into that method. The last time I updated Labyrinth-Void by the way was around 2 years ago and it was a huge pain to even get everything needed for export then. I can't even imagine getting all the dependences needed to set it up now (I might try). Labyrinth-Void was actually a project that started because I heard about a PSP exporter being released for GameMaker 8.1. I did have to scale the project back from my initial plans because the PSP did not like having a lot of instances on the screen, which is why it's such a basic game. I then ported it to GameMaker Studio 2 because I learned about it being possible to publish to the Xbox via the Creator's Program. Since publishing Labyrinth-Void a couple years ago, I've moved on to learning about game development in Godot during my free time. I'm hoping to finish and publish a new game on Steam and Android by the end of the year.

Where do I put the activation code??, I can't find it

[@ConsoleLoop]

After visiting the aka.ms/activatexbox website and logging in, you will see a plus button on the right side that shows a dropdown menu with the enter activation option.

This works for Xbox One?

[@ConsoleLoop]

Developer mode works on Xbox One but any emulator past the PS1 generation is going to struggle.

[@qhast213]

@@ConsoleLoop I have one more question, this "dev mode" can run anything else than emulators?

[@ConsoleLoop]

@@qhast213 I know there's FTP apps and a frontend for emulators called LaunchPass. I think there's been ports of a couple games as well such as Super Mario 64.

Can you play and buy new xbox 1 games on it still

[@ConsoleLoop]

Of course, you can switch back and fourth between developer mode and retail mode.

[@RAFAELCANON]

I don’t have a pc, I have an iPad am an Iphone and a usb flash drive for iphone. Would that work??

[@ConsoleLoop]

I think you need a PC to format the drive correctly.

[@Doggoshire]

If i do all this would this give my xbox a file explorer? Or is this pretty much only for adding/making games

[@ConsoleLoop]

Nothing you do on the developer side will show up on the retail dashboard.

I've heard of that, but I'm not going to recommend something that could possibly get your account terminated if Microsoft wakes up on the wrong side of the bed.
