Updating cores
Lakka I believe formats its SD/Main Drive as a Linux filesystem that cannot be accessed easily from a non-Linux device. More info here: https://github.com/libretro/Lakka-LibreELEC/wiki/Accessing-Lakka-filesystem Note: Samba and FTP allow you to wirelessly move files like BIOS files (which go in the storage/system folder as it appears when connected via Samba or FTP, btw) to your Lakka system, and I recommend these methods.

Streaming/Gaming Client OS?
If you're looking for retro, I'd recommend Lakka OS. I've used it in the past, the only real issue was trying to get to the BIOS/formatting the drive (but I was using a Laptop with fastboot enabled).
- Is there a launcher like emudeck but for Desktop PCs?

Imac mid 2011
Plenty of uses! Install a modern MacOS with Open Core Legacy Patcher (https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/MODELS.html). Install Lakka and turn it into a retro gaming device (https://www.lakka.tv). Etc etc. Your model has a Thunderbolt connection so you can get an Thunderbolt enclosure + SSD and install the OS there. It’ll be a lot faster than the internal HDD. Of course you can swap the internal drive but with iMacs it’s always a hassle.
- No wifi or bluetooth on Laptop running lakka. Worked previously on windows 10. Any ideas on how to get drivers?

RG353PS - Moonlight streaming pairs but just quits on connect
I used https://github.com/RetroGFX/UnofficialOS/releases/download/20230427/UnofficialOS-RG353P.aarch64-20230427.img.gz from https://github.com/RetroGFX/UnofficialOS/releases on a fresh SD card.
- I’m very new to handheld emulators and Anbernic, I have the RG353VS on the way and forgot if the custom OS is garlic or onion OS. I just can’t find the video I watched on it. Thank in advance.
- Software for 353V
- Which firmware for RG353M?
- New to emulators!
- I recently purchased a rg353v and I tried installing the google play store on it by watching a video on YouTube,(it’s the DroiX way to do it).I got to the point where your supposed to put the sd card in the device and it should automatically start updating but mine did not and now it just stays blac
