No need for dev mode really. Just get sign in to the discord channel on your xbox using edge then download the apps. That's it. There is no difference on how the apps work between dev or retail mode.
MVG covers standalone Dolphin (Gamecube emulator) on Xbox Series consoles
- Thread starter entremet
- Start date
It's works so much better than Retroarch Dolphin! It really is fantastic.
Playing Phantasy Star Online: Episode I&ll on my Series X, and being able to actually play that shit "online" has been incredible. They never implemented backwards compatibility for the OG Xbox version of PSO, so I feel like a long standing wrong has finally been righted, now that I can finally play this beautiful game on the Xbox platform again.
These retail emulators have just added crazy value to my Series X purchase.

Holiday bundle should still be available for 249
Gamecube Controller to 8bitdo Gbros
8bitdo Gbros to Brook Wingman XB/XB2 using the USB cable with Xinput mode
That's the only way to connect a GC controller and have it work.
Very understandable, it's super barebones in the UWP application. Controller ain't even recognized in-game by default, which took me by surprise lol.
But I actually found it pretty easy to just use that Durango FTP to transfer my Dolphin Config files from my PC to my USB drive plugged into my Series X. So I make whatever changes I need on the Dolphin on my PC, then I just move all the updated config files to my Xbox using FileZilla. A bit clunky to be sure, but it works quite nicely!
that's actually a bit less convoluted than I was expecting the reality to be
all i'm saying is if this worked with the 4 port adapter, the series s at that holiday price would be the perfect melee emu box lol
thanks, managed to get the dolphin app installed.
now my problem is, no matter whic game is start from usb, the screen stays black. i followed mvg's video step by step. no idea what went wrong.
Did you follow a guide on how to set that up? If so, could you please send it my way? I'd love to play PSO 1 & 2 on Schthack
Series x emulation scene is beautiful. Hoping this Carrie's on for every Xbox system in the future.
These two videos helped me get it up and running the other night:

Haven't tried this myself, but have you checked this guide from an earlier post?
Can't watch the video now, but how straightforward is this to get running well and actually use? I tried Dolphin through Retroarch on SX, and it was a pain in the ass to get going for a number of reasons, none of the tutorials accurately described like, anything, the community on the site I was using basically had a "don't ask for help because if you can't figure it out you're an idiot and we'll ban you" rule, and went it was all said and done I couldn't get the ONE game I wanted to play (Metroid Prime) to run in any way I could describe as "not absolutely fucking awful" and "totally not objectively worse to just plugging my GameCube into my 4KTV and playing in 480i".
Had trouble with retroarch but got prime, eternal darkness and twilight princess up and running
My roadblocks were:
My roadblocks were:
- Black screen when booting from usb (solution, reformat usb as suggested)
- Controller not configured - bit silly on me this, when you set the config it generates a bunch of config files in that location, I messed up and put the premade ones from the discord in the wrong place
It's not an official port, so it's to be expected.
This won't be straight forward for a bit since it requires you to set it up on PC and then copy and paste over files since there's no real native UI on Xbox yet.
And most communities aren't going to provide actual support for Xbox since most of the emulators aren't ported over by the the actual emulator dev teams since they're all focused on putting the emulators on dev mode while the community at large toss them on the retail mode.
That and Dolphin's core in Retroarch is outdated as hell.
It's xbox specific though. You'd think that it'd at least default the controls to it's default control set up.
True, but all of the emulators default to SDL inputs rather than xinput. And even though SDL has xinput profiles, I imagine that anyone doing a quick and dirty port isn't really shifting past the defaults.
Heads up ERA the Dev has updated this UWP app and it now has Xbox controller profile all setup with additional improvements like game loader menu and more!

I installed in retail mode on my S and it just updated. Running off usb but can switch that to SSD later. I tried Wind waker, metroid prime and Luigi's mansion, all run like a beast. This shit is impressive. There is a little menu lag, and shader caching at the start but as a work in progress it's beast! And yes rumble works perfect.
Btw if you update and get a black screen on game bootup and setup previously, just set your Xbox dash to 1080p, it's a bug in the new version which will get sorted I'm sure.

Anyone got Rogue Leader working well? Frame rate is good but it seems really unstable and crashes a lot.
Yes he showed a game in his previous video with a texture pack mod
No on the former for a couple reasons, so just classic controller enabled games I believe(or motionless ones). On the latter I think so? But I'm not sure?
What am I doing wrong? Prime keeps crashing to like 20 FPS and hardcore stuttering on my SX, even at 480p.
Kinda same for me and I am not sure if anyone can help. I mostly tried Metroid Prime 1 on my Series X and regardless of whether I choose native resolution or 4k, the game is stuttering quite often, while things look great (and play great for the most part) besides those stutters. Is this normal or not?
