@Retail Mode @everyone @Patreon Supporter It's been a good run guys! As of today, it looks like Microsoft finally decided to fight back, and that faster takedowns weren't good enough. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/errors/error-code-0x87e1002d Error 0x87e1002d "This game or app can't be launched as it violates the Microsoft Store Policy." If you want any hope of Retail Mode emulation ever making a comeback NOW is the time to fight them on it. Take it to Twitter, take it wherever you can and complain to Xbox about this decision.
========================================================================================================= So what are our current options for emulation on Xbox? - Dev Mode is still very much an option. You can either pay the stupid $20 / €20 fee, or you can simply make a new account set to TURKEY and pay $2 / €2, literally 1/10th the price. - If your currently installed retail mode apps still work. This will likely not last long, and they probably already don't work anymore. - Will continue doing retail mode uploads from here on out? Probably not. Unless this gets resolved, I'm going to focus on publishing weekly Dev Mode updates in

I’m not surprised. Allowing an emulator app on the store naturally attracts a lot of attention. Even if MS don’t really care, they’d be getting letters from legal departments of other companies, such as Nintendo.
