I tried to sign up my account as a developer and it's giving me some "not authorized" message and says to contact my account administrator (which is me). Do I need to make a new microsoft account to do it or does it just hate me for some reason? I want yet another device that can play PS2 games.

They're working on a PCSX2 core for Retroarch at the moment. Not sure how stable it is right now but I'd imagine it will very shortly.

Valhalla patch dropped to fix issues on the X also now 60 fps on the S. Might grab it on sale now that the bigger issues look to be solved.

Evil Robot posted:Does anyone have suggestions here? I've owned every Xbox so far except the new XSX so this is really depressing to me as a long time fan As a long time Xbox Insider and former alpha channel tester, Insider builds shouldn't install automatically, they should present a splashscreen at first boot that asks you whether you want to install the update or skip logging into XBL and use the console offline, UNLESS you are in instant-on mode. If you're in instant-on mode.....then you shouldn't be worried about your system getting updated from a really old OS version, because even if you didn't use it for weeks, it would have still been installing the latest system updates available the entire time. If you were able to go in and unenroll the box from the Insider program from your account settings/the app/the website, the console should automatically get the signal for a fresh install of the latest retail build upon connecting to the internet. I can't be sure but I suspect that you may actually have a hardware problem. If you cannot factory reset without seeing "Something went wrong", I think you may have a real bonafide hardware problem on your hands. Try connecting an ethernet cable if you haven't got one plugged in and doing the factory reset with it hardwired to the net. My X1X has been in the Insider program literally since the first day I got it so I'll do some snooping, if I find anything out, I'll let you know barnold fucked around with this message at 22:11 on Nov 25, 2020 |

Laserface posted:Didnt dishonored get a definitive edition for the Xbone/PS4 rerelease? i thought it was 1080/60. I have it im pretty sure (or I did) Definitive Edition is 1080p/30fps on both. It's just a res increase and some slightly better textures. I have no idea how it doesn't run at 60fps on either console. PS4 version was slightly different in that they have some audio (the heart, teleport sounds etc.) come through that speaker on the controller.

Crafty posted:I have been playing a lot more games since I got my Series X and I put that down to speedy boot up and game switching. I end up jumping in for quick games which just wasn't possible with the lovely loading times of last gen. It's taken three generations, but I'm finally going to complete GTA5 story, the loading times on that game just took too long for me in the past. Quick Resume does something with my mind for sure. I was playing a lot of AC:V last week - until they removed Quick Resume from it. Now I've played a lot less just as it takes that bit longer to actually get back into where I was.

I just picked up The Outer Worlds on game pass. It's actually pretty good, I didn't expect it to be. It's by Obsidian and I'm getting heavy Fallout vibes from it, it even has VATS.

I just don’t think Arkane are good at optimising their games, particularly on consoles. It’s a real shame, Prey is one of the coolest games I’ve ever played but it feels totally poo poo on console and the load times are insane.

That poo poo sucks and those people are dumb. Using dev mode is easy and is only $19. All this is gonna do is make Microsoft pay closer attention to this stuff. Hope they just get their dev account nuked.

American McGay posted:Save from changing to a yearly fee for developer access there's not really anything they could do to "shut it down". Sony removed Linux from PS3's OS despite it being an advertised feature of the console so I wouldn't rule it out. Honestly though I hope Microsoft leaves it since it only benefits them and people who own Xboxes. Even if other companies start breathing down their neck I'd ride it out as long as possible or ignore them. Sony didn't care about anything being done with Linux on PS3 until someone found a way to use it to actually pirate PS3 games - people running emulators for SNES games didn't bother them.

Nintendo will just put pressure on the developer to shut it down and they probably cant afford the legal battle in what is very likely a case they would lose. They dont even have to ask microsoft to pull the app.

I think they probably could have got away with this if they weren't charging 20 bucks for it. You lose some plausible deniability when you're profiting off something people are primarily using to emulate your rivals games.

Microsoft isn't any more liable for what people do on Xbox dev mode, than they are for what people do with Windows PCs. Dev mode is just a sandbox where people can run their own code, Microsoft is not providing or hosting Retroarch, that's all done by the homebrew community. This "retail" workaround is murkier because the Retroarch builds appear to be uploaded and downloaded from Microsoft's servers. Even then, the precedent going all the way back to the days of Bleem!, is in Microsoft's favor. Nobody is knocking down the doors of the Raspberry Pi Foundation because thousands of people use their hardware to set up RetroPi machines.

If it becomes a big deal, I’d expect Nintendo to reach out to Microsoft. There’s a big difference between the tiny hobbyist company selling general purpose computers that can run an emulator and the frenemy mega corp having an easy to install emulator on their game appliance. Long before you get to the point of litigation, there’s good reasons for those two to want a decent business relationship.

Microsofts argument will be its no different from a windows computer or smartphone and whatever code someone runs is on them. I can't see a successful suit from Sony or Nintendo doing this when apple and google's platforms exist as well. Microsoft won't shut it down because a) it undercuts peoples desire to hack the system and b) its 19 dollars of money per user

I mean they'll shut down the retail workaround for sure, but I think they're supportive of the dev system.

It's 9:05pm. This is silly.
