And from what I see, stuff like RetroArch can be run on normal console even without Dev Mode nowadays. Heck, you can play NES games directly in Edge browser without any shenanigans.
- gymbeaux 4y agoThings you could do on a jailbroken PS3 or JTAG'd Xbox 360 (besides playing pirated games) != things you can do on an Xbox One with dev mode enabled, including but not limited to: running Linux; viewing and controlling thermal performance of the console; modding games/enabling cheats; theming the UI; playing game discs made for a different region (e.g. PAL); backup game save files (I think this is a given on today's consoles but it was more restrictive back in the day).
- Jorengarenar 4y agoOf course it doesn't give you as much power as a jailbreak would, but it gives just enough power to make putting the effort into hacking the console not worth it.
- gymbeaux 4y agoI just don't think there was really anyone who was putting effort into hacking the Xbox One just because they wanted the feature that they now get out of the box- sideloading/running unsigned code in a VERY sandboxed environment that can't run retail versions of games.
