I really hope it hasn't been abandoned or someone else can take up the mantle and continue progression I understand its a labour of love with no cash incentive but by god its appreciated by all those who can use it!!!

I hope not as well. Even if that happens I heard from a little birdie that TwinAphex (Creator of Retroarch) is wanting to make an official RetroArch Port to the Xbox One in the near future so you do have that to look forward to assuming it comes to fruition. An official Port by the Retroarch guys themselves probably means way more cores than we already have but still in the words of Twinaphex "Don't expect miracles" ;)

Well I don't wanna name my source because I'm unsure if he wan'ts to be named but one of our members in the community had messaged TwinAphex over IRC a few weeks ago, and from what I was told he is intent on picking up an Xbox One and porting RetroArch over to Xbox One. It just make take while and I think we're gonna have to be patient

I also can't use OneDrive on VBA

I tried resetting it, hard resetting, going into retail mode and back into dev mode, after I did that third option N64 wouldnt load but VBA did but I can't load up One Drive.

I honestly have not the slightest clue why you wouldn't be able to open win64e10. This is something I've never had happen. As far as One Drive goes if you have one drive on your pc you should be able to access it on VBA10 to load the roms. I know that's not very helpful but I'm at a loss honestly for why this is happening

if you guys havent read absestos replied and said

Hello and thanks for getting in touch

I am not abandoning RetriX, although the project is on hold right now - for several reasons:

  • I have become more busy at work
  • I am trying to figure out what the situation is with regards to Windows Mobile. Microsoft should still release a "Fall Creators Update" for it, even though it's not going to be the same as the PC one. Depending on what the API coverage for it is, I will have to make decisions about future development
  • I no longer have an Xbox One to develop on, which doesn't help
  • I am trying to learn Xamarin

Ahh, nice to get a progress update. I was worried he'd given up on it :) Still interested to know what his Retroarch changes are in relation to though?

    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
