If you are really the developer of the app., you can easily release the update as an installer file that we can later install it once we have access to the DEV MODE on retail. That way your work will be preserved and ongoing.

Honestly, in case Microsoft people will read this, just let people dual boot to Linux. It's 2024, we have Steam Decks that let users go to desktop Linux mode, if the fear is "people will pirate our games", how many Steam Deck users pirate games? How many Steam Deck users pirate games? Why Valve sells Steam Decks for cheap if people pirate games there?

IK how to get the app for Dev Mode if u need here no he did not give it i may or may not have used this to get it
apps from Microsoft links i typed the link and got the appx file and the other things required to work or if no link use the product id in the original link after We couldn't find (then copy whatever is here). tbh idk what its called but hey it worked i had to copy the link address from the page if u need the original link here you go

Hi guys, can anyone help me pls. I get this error message when I try snd run the code via pico. Script loads up on the game script app, but when I try to test the script i get this error message. See picture

you dont need to use a Pico to get the script into the app. if you set your xbox's DNS to 127.0.0.1, you can run a http server with python on your PC and serve the script that way, copy it from msedge and then paste it into the app.

I would still like to know how to fix this error for my pico. I'm on the correct vulnerable firmware. I'm confused to what I'm doing wrong. The script loads into the app. Pressed run code , nothing happens but when I select error message screen I get that error message.

Remove the uncommented code or add comments at the very top

Also, pinging @kgabis since Game Script on Xbox used his Ape scripting language. 😃 (sorry, @kgabis, this code was not my intention 2 years ago! 😄)

I did not expect ape to be used in such a fun way, for a moment I was worried that's a bug in my code 😂

Tell me how to clear the window of Game Script from the previous script.
I can't insert a new one.

click on the text window until the virtual keyboard pops up, then insert a usb keyboard and hit CTRL+A and backspace
