I have the Miyoo Mini+. I originally used MinUI and it saved games like a normal GBA and loaded the game to the menu everytime I started it, again like a standard GBA worked. I switched to OnionOS to have a nicer interface with boxart and now it only uses save states and auto starts from said state when opening a game. Not an authentic experience.

I have learned there's a difference between game saves and save states but don't know how to switch my handheld to use only game saves. Is it based on the core used maybe? Can anyone help me out?

If someone reports you for doing anything against their ToS on other websites then it will hold consequences.

This is another reason why privacy matters. Have different user names on different platforms so you can't be linked. I don't condone treating other people poorly however this leads to more control, especially with how crazy ToS/EULAs are and how they are ever changing.

I'm seeing family over the holidays and they really enjoy comic book stuff and video games. I don't know much about comics and am looking for suggestions on classic comic book based games I can load on my RPi and bring over to play. All I'm aware of are some of the Marvel vs Capcom fighting games but maybe there are others. Any ideas?

I'm trying to get a Garmin Ant+ USB dongle working within Fedora Kinoite to work with Golden Cheetah and my cycle trainer.

The Golden Cheetah wiki only has instructions for getting this to work within Ubuntu which I got working on Mint previously. I'm trying to convert over to Kinoite and this is critical.

The wiki says to create a new udev rule. Following the instructions it says to place it in /etc/udev/rules.d which also exists in Kinoite, the problem being it's a read only folder and sudo still doesn't allow me to place a file. How do I override the atomic structure to create a file there? I believe it requires using the rpm-ostree command but I'm unfamiliar.

Anyone else having the issue when going to the extension store, the "Add to Brave" button is grayed out?

I just installed a new Linux distro and am getting my browsers back up but I can't install any extensions, particularly Bitwarden but others have the same problem. Firefox has no issues.

Looks like Fen Light shutdown sadly. I was noticing issues with trying to stream content. Ended up switching to Umbrella as that's a consistant addon I've seen and so far so good.

Can't wait to see his 6L build with this GPU

I'm trying to better understand how app-to-app communication works within the owner profile alone. I read that apps need mutual consent if they wish to talk with one another, otherwise all apps are isolated from one another.

If that's true, how do I see and verify what consent has been given to an app?

There's obviously "Permissions" but to my knowledge that only gives an app access to sms, photos, etc., not letting one app talk to another. Storage scope is another thing I'm aware of which I can utilize.

I ask this because I need to install a standard predatory work app that has various accesses including location. I tried installing it in another profile and was going to spoof my location but developer options mock location doesn't carry over to the other profiles. So I need to install the app on my owner profile but want to be certain it won't be trying to harvest data from other apps or the system.

What are peoples favorite ROM Hacks? I personally like vanilla+ experiences but just want to hear what other people appreciate and why.

I'm thinking of Smash Remix for Super Smash Bros. It adds tons of content but keeps the game feeling original.

Also thinking of Maternalbound Redux, an improvement for the USA version of Earthbound

Pacman Championship Edition demake for NES

Does anyone know how to hide the game regions, revisions, disc numbers, etc. through the menu settings? I cannot find a setting for it and prefer not to rename all my ROMs and box art.

Edit: I still don't know if there is a way within the menu to accomplish this like can be done in standard RetroArch.

However, here is how I accomplished it. I already had my box art so I don't know if that has to be gotten first. Put the microSD card in your computer, go to the folder that holds the ROMS for each particular system you have games in, open the .XML file in a text editor, edit the name of each game in the category to what you want it to say, save the file and that's it. Your box art will not need editing

Hey everyone, I'm looking for critiques on my games list here. I've been casually enjoying retro gaming for the past year and my friend wants his kids to play some. He has two boys a few years apart but no older than 8 I think. I'm planning to surprise him with a POWkiddy RGB10X pre-configured with some games I think young kids would enjoy. This is where I need some help finalizing the list. I'm at a little over 30 games which I think is maybe too many but I want them to have a wide variety of genres and franchises to enjoy. What might you change or suggest?

• Ridge Racer Type 4 (PS1)
• Diddy Kong Racing (N64)
• Super Mario 64 (N64)

• Pokémon Emerald (GBA)

PS.

• He specifically mentioned Donkey Kong, though not any game specifically, as well as he personally enjoyed OddWorld as a kid so I threw that in there.
• Maybe remove Contra and leave only Metal Slug?
