Apparently works on Windows Mobile and he is working on raising some money to get it working/distributable properly for Xbone as well.
those of us in the 0.3% of worldwide phone owners finally have an emulator to call our own

fittingly that emu arrives after iāve went away from that Platform for good (ā¦ for the time being*)
*: who am i kidding, there will never be another, proper winphone again ;__;
Is the XBOne hacked already? How would you get emulators on it?
With a little google fu Iām reading that emulators already exist for XBox One but they violate TOS for their app store. Do they just not take them down?
All emulators submitted to the app store get removed, yes. But if you build them with correct certificates or whatever you can sideload UWP apps on to Xbone, apparently.

No one is surprised by this.
I am surprised by Star Fox 2.
Good game list. Iām disappointed at the lack of a single deep cut but I get it. SNES has a really big canon. They picked the correct 3 JRPGs, but the wrong DKC and the wrong Kirby. Iām getting one, sigh.
Kirby 3 stinks, Super Star was the right choice

The famicom mini had a lot of games that were more interesting than popular. This is the opposite.
The SFox2 inclusion also fills me with cynicism.
I bet thisāll help Switch sales tho
Wake me up when theyāre at the GameCube Mini

Whyās that? I think itās a positive step for Nintendo to view unreleased and untranslated games as worth fixing up and shipping to a broad audience.
I look forward to not being able to find this one either.
Iād argue the precedent for Nintendo doing that was some 10 years ago when Sin and Punishment popped up on Wii VC and then letting other publishers sell untranslated games
and then again when they starting selling EB Zero
the actual interesting part here, between Star Fox 2 and Yoshiās Island is that theyāre doing Super FX games again

I guess Nintendo mustāve used fan-translation-style ROM hacking techniques for Star Fox 2. Itās actually pretty unusual for legit game studios to even have anyone on staff familiar with those tricks, most programmers throw up their hands if they donāt have source code. My feeling is this is a grassroots labor of love by somebody inside Nintendo who really wanted to see Star Fox 2 happen, was willing and able to ROM hack, and got buy-in from the higher-ups.
