So, I just read that you can pay $20 to get a MS dev account and then sideload emulators onto an Xbone.
Has anyone here done this? What's the highest that it can go? PSX? N64?
Fucking bump.
READ MY THREAD. WHOO, HERE'S A COOL CUSTOM GBC. DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION NOW?
Is it $20/year, or just a one-time fee?
>>382004330
One-time.
If it cost a subscription I wouldn't be interested, but you just pay once and then you can switch on dev mode for up to three consoles.
nobody knows because its so poorly documented
be a trailblazer and discover it for yourself and share your knowledge with others

Hey, I know that treasure chest. I wonder if those are worth any money now, mines still sealed
>>382004791
Gonna do it, anon.
>>382003498
kinda offtopic but can someone please explain whats the idea behind the battery symbol on the xbone ui?
>>382006854
I don't own an xbone but I think the battery icon is used for the controller.
>>382006854
At the top right? It's a battery indicator. OP's image shows that his controller is plugged in.
>>382006854
Controller battery indicator

>wasn't even a good troll
This is the real troll right?
>>382007365
For your sake, I really hope you're not the guy who asked the question.

You can register for a dev account now for free. I just did it (shit was so cash).

What the fuck do you call this? Get out of my thread.
>>382008252
SO BE IT. Did you register? Fucking Xbone X homebrew is coming!!
>>382007564
is this legit im skeptical about giving a 3rd party website my MS account
>>382004168
OH SHIT DAWG IS THAT A CUSTOM GBC? YOOOO
>>382008893
It's just a blog post, with a link that takes you to the Windows Dev Essentials website where you sign in and it gives you a coupon code.
>>382009048
do I just redeem the code it just took me to where you sign up for it but its say i have to
$20 bucks atleast for it
>>382009762
There should be a field for the coupon code on the penultimate step of the signup process.
>>382010023
>>382009762
To be clear, the code you see in the blog post was that poster's unique code and won't work. Signing in will give you a different code you can use.
If this eventually leads to keyboard and mouse support on the damn thing, that'll be pretty fucking boss.
>>382010137
There is keyboard and mouse support for the UI and Edge.
>>382010137
I've been thinking the same thing.
It feels like MS is in the same place Sega was in with the DC, and they're throwing all these experimental features and upgrades at the Xbone to try and give it a fighting chance to compete. It didn't work for Sega, but they weren't as big as Microsoft is.
why? there are so many ways to emulate shit for free. you are fucking retarded. You can have emulators for free on basically every other console, you can connect your PC to your TV and emulate, you can download emulators for your phone, PS3, X360, all latest portable consoles.
>>382010023
thx for the spoonfed I was confused by OP saying you had to pay and on the blog it said you can get it free
>>382010727
quality post
>>382005093
What are these about ?
>>382010727
What if I don't want half a dozen consoles hooked up to my TV?
Fucking 15 years and they're just now allowing custom gamerpics...
>>382011223
xbox 360 had custom gamerpics through the xbox camera
I have done this because I'm an actual dev and have a couple of devkits.
I haven't tried out the emulators but they should work just fine. My biggest issue with this is that you have to keep switching between dev mode and regular mode, and the guide says it should be fine but I've had times when it wasn't and I had to format the console or resintall the firmware.
The guide also mentions you should not have to uninstall your apps when in devmode to return to normal mode, but doing so on my end crashes the console and I have to format it entirely.
So yeah, I think it's kinda dangerous but nothing you couldn't come back from.
You can't put emulators on the store anymore, they banned that from happening
>>382012191
The idea with dev mode is that you can sideload them manually from a Win10 PC, correct?
>>382012191
This is a new thing where you register as a developer, then put your own console in developer mode and run the emulator from there. Has nothing to do with buying it from the store.
>>382012284
yes
>>382012284
>>382012314
Oh, ok thank you for clarifying that anons.
inb4 404 but do I need to use w10 emulators?
also does this mean I can get my favorite ever game on xbox? postal?
>>382012090
Shit I've had to do that with their regular Early Access/Test updates. If I can fix what they broke I can fix the shit I break. I just signed up, how do I get the dev kit program on the Xbox?
>xbone can play PS1 games
>PS4 can't
>>382013474
App store search function
>>382013556
Whoever's on top in a given gen will get lazy and prune features from their console.
I have a PS4 Pro. I like the exclusives. But zero back compat., little cross platform play, shitty app selection? Sony's in for a rude awakening come PS5.
>>382014116
yeah PS4 lucked out by MS shitting the bed so hard but no one stays on top forever PS2 sold crazy numbers but then PS3 happened
Im going to buy one of those emulators(PSX) I have a feeling it will be shit tho
