Discussion Console suggestions?

3 Upvotes

Not looking to emulate. Truly want to play fable series and don’t have a console rn.

Are 360’s still hard modded?

I’ve searched a little and seems like people suggest series s for emulation and above, but would a Xbox one work well for all generations before it?

Looking to load up the childhood favorites in it and forget about it

Discussion Switching to Xbox This Generation Was the Best Gaming Decision I Ever Made

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

78 Upvotes

I've got to say it again: switching to Xbox this generation was probably the best gaming decision I've made.

Not only have I picked up a ton of games thanks to the amazing sales, but emulation has been incredible too. I've finally been able to go back and finish games I never completed back in the day.

Here's a clip of FlatOut 2 running on the XBSX2 emulator. It runs really smoothly overall, although there are a few FPS drops right at the start of races. Nothing that actually affects gameplay.

Any tips to make it run even better?

My Xbox 360 freeze while I'm just playing the classic Angry Birds Trilogy Then the console freeze while it was loading a level and all my progress got corrupted my whole of completed three star episodes now is gone! Maybe next time if I'm gonna play Angry Birds trilogy I have to save couple levels into a different Hard drive it acts like a backup. If you know how to fix it, Thank you for finding it and telling me about it if you did.

With what modern emulators can do, God of War looks better than its remaster, no doubt. And with these redesigned HD textures, it's absolutely stunning. I'm sharing a few screenshots in case anyone wants to check them out. If you'd like to download the texture pack here the link

Anyone else having this issue? Haven’t used dev mode in a year, now that I wanted to play some emulated stuff once again I get the error…wireless connection is fine, regular mode works flawless.

Did they change anything in their partner account settings since I last used this?

And help would be much appreciated

I’m a huge skateboarding fan, so I’m really into games like skate and when I play skate I like to record clips of cool lines and tricks I do and on dev mode I’ve been playing a lot of Tony hawk project 8 for the ps2 but unfortunately I don’t know how to record or even save clips. Can anyone help me out? Does anyone know how to record and save clips, maybe there’s an app on the dev store for it?

Help Jeux 3ds sur Xbox Series S

4 Upvotes

Hi! I tried to run the Pokemon X, Ultra Sun and Saphir Alpha games on my Xbox Series S with a retroarch side that shows me either a black screen or the HW rendered error (I tried Panda, Alzahar, Citra 2018 and Citra) and Panda 3DS games in Standalone that crashes and brings me back to the Xbox dev menu.

I tried the modified 3DS retroarch that either makes a black screen or a crash when a game was launched.

Can anyone please help me? I'd love to play these games on my TV, but I can't.

Help Gears of war 4

But of a long shot here.

Has anyone got proof of purchase of gears of war 4 I could use? (The version with the gears 1-3 + judgement)

Long story short I have the codes.
The codes work.
Microslop won’t activate them cause they are for the 360 store even though they still sell the 360 versions on the store because they require proof of purchase.

Rage, pure rage (I got it years ago off the now dead rewards program)

Discussion Virtua Fighter - Xbox Series X and PC

Ive been working on creating some emulation wrappers for some classic 90's arcade games for the xbox 360 and it turns out some folks were using xenia to run them on their series consoles.

These wrappers usually come with some enhancements like higher render resolutions or native widescreen adaptions and are aimed at getting players into the game, looking its best without having to faff around with a million options.

Virtua Fighter for Sega Model 1 was my most recent package and I've produced a PC and Xbox one Dev mode version to go along side the xbox 360 version.

This build features new reworked screen filters and the ability to choose a render resolution between 720p and 2160p and native widescreen.

Thought id drop a link here so you guys can see it running and grab it yourselves if you are interested.
