I used to use iOS, and there was a great emulator called "Delta". It was open source and free, and it was so easy to add games to it's library. Is there such an app for Android? I would very much like it if the app was open source and free.

Retroarch is fantastic and allows for many numerous emulators. It is FOSS.

I synch my roms and saves using Google Drive and DriveSynch; free, but not necessarily a FOSS process.

Alternatively I use Syncthing to keep my saves synced between my phone, PC and home server.

I'm slowly collecting the things I will need to build a home NAS. That sounds interesting, and I'll be glad to check it out.

You won't regret it, syncthing is super easy to use and it just works without hassle. I'd suggest Plex too for your NAS setup.

I have been using Jellyfin for video. It runs great so far.

Play Store won't let me download it saying its for an older version of android. Would you happen to have a recommendation for the second best place to download it?

[-] PullUpCircuit@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 6 months ago

I'm not sure what's going on with your device. That's where I installed it from.

Do you have gapps side loaded on a custom ROM? You might need to update your image or gapps.

[-] loganberryq@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Nope, everything stock. Galaxy Z Fold4. Looks like they've got a website though and they let you get it from there.

Yeah, installing from retroarch.com is fine.

There seems to be a thread open about this here:
