There has to be some kind of catch to this right? He said its legal and Xbox encourages it

That is the gray area. I would think pirating the Roms illegal but if you are a mad lad that has turned your own games into Roms You should be good to go I think?

Emulation is and always has been legal. Acquiring roms is the murky area

Pirating roms is illegal but emulation is not. Kinda like how smoke shops can sell bongs.

Technically you need to enable dev mode which supposedly has some of its own issues. Xbox encourages people to use Dev Mode, not necessarily to home-brew stuff.

Also, you can just put RetroArch on your Series S/X without breaking the warranty. Emulating games across the board is very much a "fine line" in terms of legality.

Yea but can you upscale the resolution without the Dev Mode?

You can't install RetroArch without Dev Mode. I have no idea how much of resolution modding you can do without it.
