Operation Rat Control
This isn't over.
See you tomorrow.
If you just installed them and want to keep using them, go offline.
This is the fastest the apps have been blocked in the 2 years of Xbox retail uploads. We're 99% sure this wasn't automatic and was manually blocked.
We'll get back to you on our next steps!
Hello!
The new package has been processed finally! This app is disguised as a photo album, requiring you to enter the Konami code (Up Up, Down Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, START) to activate the package. Use the D-Pad for directional inputs.
During earlier testing, this package survived inspection by the Microsoft Store under an unsuspecting manual review. However for the sake of longevity, please do not mention any details about this package publicly. For examp...
Microsoft are really kicking up a fight, but this time it went down, something odd and interesting happened. Every time the app is taken down, the store page and account goes with it. This shows up at first on the partner page that the store page has been removed due to xx violations, and is soon followed by the account being terminated.
This morning, the account is fine, the store page itself is fine, only the apps were blocked, almost as if no human intervention from Microsoft took p...
Thanks everyone who let us know about the issues with RetroArch! An update fixing the missing cores / lag has finally been processed and the update should come through to you shortly. Should you have issues with the apps not updating properly, you can try uninstall and install fresh (WARNING: Any content datainternally may be lost if you do this)
We have also updated the package's whitelist, so any emails submitted before this post will now be included and you can download the package!...
Thanks everyone for your patience! Everybody who has submitted their email before this post will be whitelisted! Download the package here: https://xbemu.me/
I really appreciate everyone who has been patient, we're currently developing some new tools to streamline this process even further!

Update includes:
- Fixed Dolphin Emulator not setting the User folder properly
- Fixed RetroArch's Mupen cores not working
- Updated XBSX2.0 to the latest version
Sometimes the Xbox Store is a bit finnicky about updating our package, if you're having problems, please try uninstall the package and install fresh! Warning, uninstalling will lose any data stored on the internal drive!
We also updated the whitelist just now, so anybody who submitted their Xb...
What is the 'whitelist' and why do I need to submit my email?
Private apps can only be accessed by accounts that have been whitelisted by us. This process is done by hand. You need to submit your Xbox/Microsoft Account email address to our site so that we can update the app to have your email address. You cannot download the apps until you do this step. The whitelist is updated by hand by us every now and then, we aim to do this every 1-2 days but may do t...

We have updated the whitelist just now, and the whitelist now includes 95% of our active patrons.
Thank you everyone for all your support and feedback in this first release, your patience is incredibly appreciated! If you missed the whitelist, don't worry as we will do another whitelist update later today....
Thank you everyone who has pledged! If you're confused, please read this!
Retail apps can only be accessed through 'private' uploads right now, this means the only way to access and download the apps is to have your email address *manually* added to the app. There is no process to automate this currently. To aid us, we added a whitelist page so you can submit your email address to us without fear of us missing it. Being whitelisted is not automatic, and is done by hand by us! Please no...
Thank you everyone who was incredibly patient! We took a closer look at the problem and confirmed that the emails were all being sent immediately, and show up in our 'Sent' in box accordingly, however Google does not appear to be delivering them.
As a temporary measure, we have disabled the confirmation stage of the whitelist, and now all emails will be immediately confirmed and added to the whitelist. Please resubmit your emails.
Next whitelist update will be in an hour!
Submit your email at https://xbemu.me/whitelist to gain access to our private apps!
Please note that the whitelist is managed by hand. We normally update the whitelist before new uploads, and aim to update existing uploads every 2 days.
Once you have been added to the whitelist, you can download the apps on your Xbox by visiting xbemu.me in Microsoft Edge and clicking 'Download Package'.
