Transfer savegames from android/Retroarch to R36S?
Hi guys, I would like to port my savegames from an Android/retroarch to the R36S running ArkOS. Not sure how to do that. Any guides? I already tried to sync savegames between two android devices, but Retroarch on the "new" device did not recognize the saves, hence I am close to giving up.
Any help will be appreciated!
VPN server on router or within home network?
Hi, looking for some advice to set up a VPN server to get into my home network when traveling.
I have a NAS and an openWRT AP within the network. My router is provided by the ISP and with a built-in VPN. Being a hobbyist in networking, I would like to tab your brains for suggestions and know how:
Should I get my own router to run a wireguard VPN off the router directly, i.e. on the edge of the network, OR run a VPN service off the openWRT AP or the NAS, i.e. from within the home network?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Alternatives to MZLA Pocket?
Just learned that POCKET will shut down in July 2025. It is a great service to collect articles on various devices and read later on a tablet & offline.
Which alternatives are out there?

Sync devices to server instead of laptop?
Hi, is there any way to sync devices directly to Calibre server? I would like to keep the database on a server and sync directly from there. This would allow to leave out syncinc the library to a laptop first. Thanks for your support!
Retroarch & syncing?
Hi, I have retroarch on various devices (Linux & android) and want to sync both saves and gaming history across devices.
Currently, I managed to sync saves via Syncthing. History syncing seems more tricky.
Do you have any experience with this? TIA

Hi, does Rockbox have a limit regarding album art resolution? My iPod G5.5 only shows it for some tracks, sometimes with ridicously long track durations in the progress bar. Any ideas? TIA
Used thinkpad ok for casual retro gaming?
Hi, want to buy some used hardware to run with Linux (Gnome DE ON Mint, Debian OR ElementaryOS). Mainly Office use, transcoding, but also for casual gaming Half-life 2 and maybe some more modern games.
Are Thinkpads with integrated GPUs sufficient for that? Any nice alternatives which are sturdy and can be upgraded?
TIA!
EDIT: thank you for all the helpful input. Will check AMD options!

HELP! iFlash Gen6 does not recognize Mac Library (or vice versa)
Hi, I have a Gen6 modded with an iFlash solo & a 128 GB SD card. I sync to my Mac-based library, which is managed via the Appe Music app.
Every time I sync, the Mac does not recognize the library and tells me I can only syn the device with one computer at a time.
Any ideas on how to solve this issue? Which of the two devices stores information about previous syncs?
Thanks!

How to Degoogle without customROM?
Hi, I want to degoogle a Samsung Tablet I got. There is no LineageOS built out for this recent tablet, so I can only try to degoogle the stock ROM.
Any good guides to follow?
And further guides to remove the Samsung bloat? Thanks!
