I recently beat Firered as my first introduction to rom hacks and I would 100% agree it’s a great place to start! I’m about 20 hours into unbound now and WOW there’s so many QOL changes that make it such a great experience. Would recommend both, and thank you for the extra rom hacks to try out after I finish unbound!

From the readme in the link there’s a redlib instance uptime list. Can use one with 99% uptime if you’re having trouble finding a good one!

I use XBPlay to play game pass titles on my steam deck and phone. It might work on other Linux distros. It’s listed on steam and may have a free trial. It can connect to a console to stream your library or connect to cloud play to stream game pass titles.

AD is a good service, it’s just a shame the library tends to be smaller. I use Easynews as a backup to my RD, luckily so far haven’t needed to actually use it!

You can use it on as many devices as you want, as long as they have the same IP address. The service will not work if you log in from 2 separate IPs, and you could get banned for that. As long as someone isn’t streaming from your home IP, you can log in while visiting your parents to watch. Basically just make sure if you use multiple devices they are on the same Internet connection.

If you go to the help section and search for “IP” you can get more info!

Select the theme you want then toggle “match system light/dark theme” on and off again.

Kodi + Real-Debrid. Or like top comment says you could also use Stremio + Real-Debrid. I recommend using a Trakt account too to keep track of everything you watch/episode progress. Real-Debrid costs about $3 a month but has just about every torrent cached to their servers (it’s never needed to buffer for me), and if they are missing one you can cache it yourself. Setting up kodi/stremio with RD is definitely worth a Google!

Fixes Implemented

Thanks to the hard work of Xbox engineers, we are happy to announce the following fixes have been implemented for this build:

System

• Various updates to properly reflect local languages across the console.
  • Note: Users participating in Preview may see “odd” text across the console, for more information go here.

Known Issues

We understand some issues have been listed in previous Xbox Insider Release Notes. These items aren’t being ignored, but it will take Xbox engineers more time to find a solution.

Audio

• We have received reports of users experiencing intermittent issues with audio across the dashboard, games, and apps.
  • Note: If you experience issues with audio, please submit feedback via Report a Problem immediately with the “Reproduce with advanced diagnostics” option.
  • Select the category “Console experiences” then “Console Audio Output Issues” and include the following information:
    • When did the issue start? After a console update, reboot, resume, etc.
    • Did you lose audio just in the game/app or system audio as well?
    • Does changing the audio format resolve the issue? If yes, what was the format before and after?
    • Does rebooting resolve the issue?
    • What does your setup look like? Equipment, layout, etc.
    • And any additional information you can provide to reproduce the problem.

My Games & Apps

• Titles in collection may incorrectly appear with a “trial” tag.

TV/Display

• Some users have reported that the console is displaying at the incorrect resolution on boot. We are aware and investigating.
  • Note: If you encounter this behavior, please ensure that you submit feedback via Report a Problem immediately. Please include the make/model of you TV/Display in the description.
  • Workaround: Restarting the console via the Power Center (holding down the Xbox button > Restart console > Restart) should resolve the behavior. If not, ensure you are looking at the troubleshooting here, specifically the section about ensuring your TV firmware is up to date.

Make sure to use Report a problem to keep us informed of your issue. We may not be able to respond to everyone, but the data we’ll gather is crucial to finding a resolution.
