    Dude OG Xbox was GOAT for emulation and entertainment. Kodi got its start there, as xbmc.

    I’d be so excited to have that again.

    Does this apply to X|S or just Xbone?

            Amazing stuff, the devs were a decent bunch too, I distinctly remember pestering a dev to create a save game loader that would write saves from a disk to a vmu on the irc channel for wraggster’s dcemu forum. Might have to dig out my old Dreamcast if it still lives.

      It only applies to the 2013 model of the original Xbox One. Later Xbox Ones have more stringent checks.

        Emulating the former is good enough for games preservation (or whatever you decide to do with the games).

      I still have an OG Xbox with an emulator and the SNES romset and Conker’s Bad Fur Day on another partition (I did the mod to install a larger HDD). All it took was a hacked save and a Mechwarrior game.
