As you might already know, emulating various consoles on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S has been achievable for quite some time, but it’s undeniably not something you are meant to do – Microsoft even tightened restrictions at one point.
Nonetheless, the community has continued to advance, and we’ve noticed a trend this week surrounding GameCube titles on Xbox Series X specifically, linked to a new iteration of the Dolphin emulator that has been released.
Currently, many users in the comments of these articles are inquiring about how to configure GameCube games on their Xbox Series X and S, and we feel obligated to caution you that it’s probably not a wise move.
Does it function? Yes. Are there impressive features? Yes. However, accessing it requires setting up an Xbox developer account (which costs $20), leaving you subject to Microsoft’s potential actions and any consequences they may impose. Although nothing has happened yet, they could act at any moment if they choose to.
Ultimately, the choice is yours to make, but we will continue to observe this situation from a distance. It’s undoubtedly fascinating to witness, and the progress of emulation has significantly advanced since the Series X and S launched in late 2020.
Here’s how it was performing a few months back, thanks to Modern Vintage Gamer:
