Anything I should be mindful of before doing so? Or is it all safe enough.

You'll probably need to set aside an hour or so just setting it up with a guide but it's safe for sure

Yep, they even fixed my biggest complaint about it so it doesn't try to delete all your side loaded apps by default when switching back to retail.

It's safe. I thought this guide by Archades Games was helpful when I did it:

I have a USB stick with ROMs/images on it that I transfer back and forth between my Xbox and PC since I have RetroArch on both and it works great.

If you care about achievements, you can even tie a Retro Achievements account (free and optional) to it for even more of an Xbox spirit to it if you want.

Yeah I think its time I finally setup emulation in Dev mode. Take a weekend afternoon or something and get all the emulators and roms set up. What size usb drive do you guys use for it? There are a ton of games from those eras I haven't touched. My first armored core was 7 and it was my GOTY. Which of the prior ACs should I check out?

I use a 256gb usb drive (one of those small factor ones) and have enough space for lots of SNES, Genesis, Gamecube, PS1/2 and PSP games. I'm using retroarch for general purpose, PPSSPP for PSP and Dolphin for Gamecube.

I tried original Ark on GP and my game was hilariously bugged that no dinosaurs or critters would spawn in. It seemed like some anti cheat gone awry.

I will try this new one to see if they don’t spawn in, with better textures.

This ark ascended looks very good and there are stupid dinos for me to harass but I have noooo idea what I'm doing and I really can't be arsed to get into the whole collect poo poo to craft and build a little hut and cook some meals it's like I already do that it's called living a life!! Just give me the tools to fight the goddamn dinosaurs already

Lol same.

I started it up, and quickly decided that I don't feel like doing the whole punch tree, pick up stuff, craft wall anymore.

Game looks real pretty though.

Dunno about the one, I wouldn’t use it tho as it doesn’t have an SSd.

Yes...Ha ha ha...YES!



ark is a conceptually cool game executed just about as badly as conceivably possible

also the head of the studio behind it is a pedophile who got fired from his last studio for sharing rule 34 of a 12 year old, and he was also reportedly a horrible abusive rear end in a top hat to that previous studio as well

so, gently caress ark

I'll check out the Lego car game for an hour or two, I'm sure.

Speaking of cars I'm hemming and hawing over waiting for Expeditions Mudrunner to hit a sale. I know it just came out, but I'm fully expecting it to go on sale in a month or two or even get pulled into Gamepass
