Browser Emulators
I wrote but then decided against adding the below instructions as it does not support the Xbox One controller for play. I may add a page for these types of in-browser emulators in the future and add it there - if I find any that support controllers.
While not technically Xbox One homebrew, the Eclipse Emu website offers a suite of emulators that can be played in-browser using a USB keyboard. For a video guide, see this video by Blaine Locklair.
- Copy ROMs you wish to play to a FAT32 formatted USB drive. An organized folder structure is acceptable.
- Plug the USB drive into your Xbox One and a USB keyboard.
- On your Xbox One, open Microsoft Edge.
- Navigate to
https://eclipseemu.me
and select Get > "Above link not working?" > Play Online (Mirror). This skips a pop-up that isn't well handled by Microsoft Edge. - Press the Menu (Start) button on the controller and choose "Use browsing controls".
- Select "Skip setup", scroll to the bottom, and choose "Agree & Continue".
- Scroll to the bottom and choose "Close Setup".
- You may wish to configure the following settings by clicking the Settings cog:
- Keyboard: Allows you to control mappings. These mappings will persist even if you exit the website.
- Fill Screen: Turn off to prevent stretching 4:3 games to 16:9.
- Select the + button in the top-right corner, then Upload.
- Select the USB device icon on the left-hand side and choose the ROM. It will automatically load the game in an appropriate emulator.
- Press the View button on the controller to enter full screen.
