@retroprogrammer Well you can write a small script that checks for savegames states for loaded ROM and tells the user in the runcommand that there are savestates stored ;) Maybe with creation date and number of states ;)

That was a idea I wanted to do during Xmas but I was on vacation and there was no time to do this ;)

All in all your mod seems to be working ;)
But you may know that the XBOX gots the more powerfull processor as the RPI3 ;)
I still have one old XBOX running, with some emulators and media center. It runs very good and keeps the old XBOX game playable .... Maybe the RPi 5 or 6 can emulate the XBOX 1

@cyperghost Yeah I know, but the old Xbox was just catching dust in my storage and I wanted it to be modded into a case when I first even bought, but then we had to move from Melbourne, Australia to Queensland, Australia and didn't get time to start.

No one in the house has any interest in the original Xbox anyway if you have a RetroPie machine

{UPDATE}

Well yesterday I was at a Trash and Treasure market and I found a guy selling a heap of retro consoles and I bought a Original Xbox controller for $10, its in okay condition and I now I have to take apart the console case to add the second controller port.I will keep up to date on the build.
