Emulator helps Xbox players to enjoy retro games without dev mode!

Xbox as a gaming console, has a fair share of fans, mostly because of its multi-tasking environment. It has some of the most playable games and titles in its basket. One of the reasons behind this is the owning company Microsoft. As one of the leading companies in the history of commerce, Microsoft owns the largest tech market after Apple. Thus, it can be proved by running games from other consoles on Xbox X|S.

There are many ways to play a certain game on a certain device, but they need a lot of tweaks and tricks to set them up. But recently an emulator is getting some attention when fans came to know that it can run retro games from old consoles in their Xbox X|S with ease.

What is RetroArch and how does it work?

RetroArch is a cross-platform frontend for emulators, game engines, video games, media players, and other programs that are free and open source. The way it works is actually that Microsoft Hyper-V and Windows NT-based Xbox OS make an environment for the emulator.

This environment is then used by the emulator to set up another frontend based on the console that it is supposed to emulate. After the frontend is set up, games based on that particular frontend run as they were tricked by the emulator to think they are running on the same console as they are intended to run on.
