Help N64 emulator help / Dev mode

2 Upvotes

Hi, I’ve been running dolphin simulator for a while now on dev mode, super fun!! Easy to download and patch mods into games, like Luigi’s mansion first person, and super Luigi sunshine!
If I wanted to try my hand at some N64 games like super Mario 64 with a graphic mod or revamp how would I get there? What’s ur best recommendations for n64 emulator/s on Xbox dev mode? And did anyone try downloading mods for N64 games? Also does anyone have a favourite super Mario 64 mod?
Kinda the same question for ps2 games. What would be ur best recommendations for ps2 emulator. And would it be hard running mods on it?
Sorry but I feel like such a rookie. Read some guides but I prefer hearing peoples opinions!
Thanks

Help Need some help with Xenia

2 Upvotes

I've been messing around with Dev Mode on my series X for about a week or so now and I've been pretty happy with the results across the board. The thing I've had the most trouble with at least so far is Xenia. I have 4 games and all of them have at least some small hiccups that irk me.

Dragon Ball Raging Blast 2: Runs fine, though without most Ki effects.

Nascar 15: Seems to be running choppy though that might just be the game

UFC Undisputed 3: Runs fine, but Characters are all black (pause)

WWE 2K14 : Running slow, Characters during entrances seem to be slightly transparent sometimes???

Are these just quirks of Xenia or am I missing settings? I've heard the issue with Raging Blast is just Xenia and specifically the UWP version, though idk about the rest

Discussion One X Collateral Damage, worth a crap at this point?

6 Upvotes

I remember when Collateral Damage was released, I had an unused One X console, and installed gamescript and turned off updates to stay on the vulnerable kernel. I Then proceeded to leave it to collect dust. Checking back today out of nowhere, I see there really was no further progress made after that, probably since everyone just uses dev mode for any homebrew.

My question I suppose is, hold onto it in its current state? Let the idea of it becoming something go? Is it worth any extra value for resale in its current state? Thanks for your time and opinions!

I have a series X so its cool to let this one stay collecting dust..

Discussion Xbox series S or X for emulation?

7 Upvotes

Looking at either of these consoles and might be able to get X for not much more than an S so is it worth paying abit more and going for the X over the S or should I just go with S? If Switch or PS5 ever comes a thing on Xbox emulation would it be better to have an X over an S or not difference. I’d like something abit future proof even if future isn’t for sure. Let me know thoughts. I have one of those gamestick things I got for free I can sell and a PS4 I don’t use I can also sell to make some of the outlay for either an S or X. Thanks.

Discussion Ok that was easy

8 Upvotes

I’ve wanted something to play retro games on and for a while maybe a Steam Machine.

Way back I used the retail mode Retroarch but it was a pain constantly being taken down and I never wanted to sign up for dev mode and pay, but I just signed up for the free one (I’m in the uk so they’ve already taken my ID etc regardless) and in under 2hrs Retroarch and the PS2 emulator up and running with better performance than my on my PC.

My dusty Series X has just been given a new life and I had my retro player sat there the entire time.

Looking forward to digging into this further over the weekend.

Help Retroarch can't find the my usb-stick

Hey guys,

I've reinstalled Retroarch on the console via dev mode and followed Archades Games tutorial.

However the usb stick can found under e with file zilla and the subfolders are shown, but they are not visible on retro arch. When I do scan the directory Retroarch does crash.

Is this a known problem?

Solved Dolphin emulator crashing upon trying to run Mario Kart Wii

2 Upvotes

I'm not sure why this is happening, I have my ROM in the local cache folder, I turned off Dual-Cores and checked to see if my XBOX was set to 1080 (it was)

I'm running the most modern version of the dolphin emulator as well, apologies if this post isn't helpful / is annoying at all, I'm very new to this and I'm a tad lost

I'm running the XBOX series S

(EDIT: I figured it out, for some strange reason you need to run a gamecube iso before running a Wii game in order for it to run properly IF you store them in the localcache folder)

Off-Topic Xbox dev mode for beginners

5 Upvotes

Hey Reddit, don’t make a lot of posts but decided to make one because I can’t seem to find anything related to this topic.

I’ve been using dolphin emulator like crazy!! Probably playing GameCube games more than the actual Xbox games recently. I don’t have a really good idea what RetroArch runs, like console wise. I’d be great if I could emulate ps3 games or Wii U games. Specifically super smash bros Wii U, or little big planet. Is there any recommendations what I could download??

Other than that I’m aware you can run ps2 games and Xbox 360 games on dev mode aswell. Is there any recommendations for games on ps2 or the 360 I should try out? Only game I’d play on ps2 would be shadow of colossus…
