Xbox Series S/X: Thread 03

[nonny]

I'm tempted to re-buy a Series S just for this. I had one at launch but I was a little disappointed in how well some games had been optimised for it but that seems to have improved a lot recently (need for speed I'm looking at you)...

But I did really enjoy firing up retroarch on it and it works really well.

I only ended up parting with it because I needed funds for a TV upgrade and I found out I could stream the Series X to my PC. Unfortunately while that works it's not a great solution for faster paced games.

Only pain I have now is I've got £100 saved up with MS credit and rewards but they still have a 1 console limit and I already bought a Series X from them. I'm wondering if they might remove this limit in a few months though so I'm keeping my eye on it...

It is pretty crazy that the Xbox can not only play most of the previous generations of Xbox games, but actually a fair amount of the PlayStation back catalogue as well.

I plan on setting up Retroarch too, but yeah I might wait until it's a bit more not wipe-everything-able.

How do you get Retroarch set up on a SeriesX/S ?

I think you spend an official £20 to access dev mode.

[fishbowlhead]

So you don’t need to side load anything on a jail broken device then?

[hudson]

No I believe it all legit.

Nice thanks. Definitely something ill do if i get a SeriesX eventually.

Also, this works on Xbox One S and One X, it's not just for the new consoles.

At least this shows its not just Sony having this problem.
Both controllers analogue sticks are the same manufacturer iirc.

How is this possible? Apparently, Microsoft can do no wrong so far this generation...

So I found out last night you can bypass the 1 console limit on the Microsoft Store by simply going incognito in the browser... So I've now ordered a Series S for the study.

I had £105 saved in rewards credit so it cost me £144.99. Rude not to really...

I'm very interested to see how retroarch works. My laptop hits a wall with some psp games and such. I wonder if the seriesS can have all the accelerators turned on and get everything running hot.

The lawsuit is being settled out of court.
