Hacking It's pretty cool how Microsoft provided a way to run homebrew on the XB1 without hacking.

Can't currently as I am using a ChromeBook, but I doubt it's a browser issue...

Well people in that thread were saying it doesn't work in chrome.

Glad I saw the post last night about the free registration. saved me $19 :-) I wonder how many people signed up for multiple dev mode accounts. I thought about doing it and then selling them lol.

Congratulations everyone! Xbox one homebrew is so popular we made Microsoft run out of dev codes!

Thanks! It's going to be an interesting time when I set it up x3

Two questions though, checked some articles about it, it requires a wired connection to your PC? Can't connect through the network?

Also how easy is it to run emulators and the such? And the UWP platform only supports their packages correct? No way to easily package a .exe decompiled or such? No unity games or....?

I completely forgot that they were still adding additional games to the backwards compatibility list xD

Since your first question has already been answered I'll answer your last two. It's extremely easy to run emulators. Just download the ProjectPegasus Xbox One Homebrew Client from Github. https://github.com/wiired24/ProjectPegasus

Select the homebrew or emulator/s that you wish to download. (It will automatically come with the needed dependencies for each package so you need not worry about that) And then just sideload the .appx package and it's dependencies and voila your golden, And yes you are correct you can sideload .appx packages but no .exe's. And there are already quite a few homebrew Unity games available for download through ProjectPegasus. There are two sonic games already, Hedgephysics, and Sonic Realms revival.

If you don't know how to sideload homebrew on to your Xbox One just follow this guide here.
