Just a heads up, you'll need a USB drive to transfer your ROMs to the Xbox. Plug the USB drive into your Xbox while in Dev Mode and use the file explorer in RetroArch to load the ROMs.

Honestly, if you follow the step-by-step guides on YouTube, you can't go wrong. There's a ton of them out there, and they make it super easy.
First, you need to download the Xbox Dev Mode activation app from the Microsoft Store. After that, follow the steps to switch your console to Developer Mode. Once in Dev Mode, download RetroArch from the RetroArch website and install it on your Xbox Series X. You can run RetroArch from there and start adding your ROMs!
Skip the hassle of Dev Mode by just using RetroArch in Retail Mode with the loophole method. It's faster but a bit more risky.
As someone who's done it, I recommend going the Developer Mode route. It's more stable, and you'll avoid potential bans from Xbox Live. Happy gaming!
