Can someone explain whats up with emulators on Xbox? I can't think of a situation where you would want to run emulators on an Xbox in dev mode. How do you even get the emulator on there in retail mode?
It's not about why. It's about you paid for the damn console. You own it and should be able to do whatever you damn well please with it
Sadly, with these locked down hardware platforms like Xbox, PS, Switch, or even something like an iPhone, the buyer doesn't own the hardware. You're at the whims of the platform holder and what they decide: case in point this story. These platforms, which have grown evermore popular because of their ease of use, are gilded cages. You just noticed the bars.
If they don't give you access to the bootloader and an option to install whatever OS you like, you're beholden to the company.
