Welcome to the Xbox One and Xbox Series emulation OT.
1. Brief History
Previous thread: https://www.resetera.com/threads/the-299-xbox-series-s-is-an-emulation-beast-mvg.331526/
2. What can I emulate?
Currently you can emulate using most of the Retroarch cores, as well as some stand alone emulators like Flycast, PPSSPP, and a UWP port of PCSX2 called XBSX2.
You'll need a Series S|X to properly emulate the following:
3. Where can I download?
The current Emulation discord is here: https://discord.gg/emulation-hub-1007582798598647889
It's a general emulation server now, but there are guides for Xbox.
4. How do I install?
Dev mode guide:

It is highly recommended that you use a external USB drive for files. There is a USB Guide in the app-guides channel, for using XboxMediaUSB. This will simplify making a USB drive for the Xbox, forboth Retail and Dev apps.
Using LocalStorage with an FTP app and deleting the emulator app without removing the files you put there first will require you to format the console to get that space back. DurangoFTP is dead so this won't matter anymore
5. How do I configure <X> emulator?
There are guides in the discord with step by step instructions in the several guide channels. Due to the amount of emulators, there are too many guides to list here.
6. Do I need a dev account?
No, as long as the retail apps are available. Download them, open them once, and they will stay until you delete them. There is a notification in the discord when they are re-uploaded, if you have the proper role.
Yes. Retail apps are dead.
If you have a developer account, then you can get the dev apps whenever for the developer environment, from the appropriate channel.
7. Can I get banned by installing this?
On Retail, yes. People have gotten 15 days bans for installing and using the last round of whitelisted retail apps. And if you upload a retail emulator to the store, your console will get banned.
Dev mode: nope. You can do whatever.
8. Can I use discs?
No. You'll need to make a backup.
9. I have issues, where can I get support?
The Discord currently has a support forum, using the new forum feature in Discord. You should search there first. Searching before posting is highly encouraged.
10. Retail Apps are down! What do I do?
Wait until they are re-uploaded. Or go the Dev Mode Route. Mind you, this will require a 5 minute console restart to swap between Retail and Dev mode.
(Black Friday deals coming soon, so maybe get a second XSS for permanent dev mode? 🤔 )
11. Why is this a barebones OT?
Because links now require you to have a role in the discord, and the developers are asking to not post the links outside. I was going to keep a threadmark with updates and current links, but that went out the window. So what you really need is the discord link.
