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!

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!

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?

Hey, any ideas if one can download selected iPod firmware and have iTunes restore without internet connection?

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!

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

[update 01]: RB apparently prefers JPEG until 600 x 600 pixels, ideally not progressive. After updating the cover art to 150 x 150 sizes, the iPod briefly displays the album art for ~10 sec max, followed by skipping to the next song and the same behavior all over again. Not sure if this is happening because the database might still be updating in the background.

[update 02]: issue seems solved: File transfer to the iPod should be done in disk mode of the iPod OS, otherwise songs will be corrupted.

Thanks everyone to contributing with your input!

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!

Tangara is a portable, open-source music player based on an ESP32 MCU

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!
