Sharp x86000 / NEC-PC98 dataset
I've been trying to pretty up my collection by making sure everything is validated and has the appropriate boxart. About the only things i've had problems with are the Sharp X86000 and NEC-PC98. These have named boxarts/etc found in the libretro git but I can't seem to find any corresponding dat file to link any particular romset with the retroarch database. Has anyone else dealt with this?

Easy boxart resizing with imagemagick in your browser. No install, no CLI!
I tested this in Chrome with the entire Sega Mega Drive collection (2075 images) from libretro-thumbnails and it took about 5 minutes on my ageing laptop.
- Any reason for Retroarch to not find Thumbnails for all those games?
- I can't download any DS thumbnails, but every other console is fine

FBA folder with arcade games
On my RetroArch on PC based on Linux the thumbnails are in a subfolder named "thumbnails" in main RetroArch folder. Each system has folders as "Named_Boxarts", "Named_Snaps" and "Named_Titles". Manually downloads could be done in example at https://thumbnails.libretro.com/ or one of the repos in https://github.com/libretro-thumbnails?q=mame&type=all&language=&sort= or in one of the the subfolders in https://github.com/libretro-thumbnails/libretro-thumbnails

Holy Moly! Is there any way to make thumbnail scraping less miserable in RA?
I know this one, if that is what you mean: https://github.com/libretro-thumbnails On this page if you click "libretro-thumbnails" and then "MAME" in example, then it is a bit older than if you go straight to the "MAME" repository itself. I guess one is the master that collects all other repositories after a while. But that's just my theory. As far as I know is this the official thumbnails repository for Libretro/RetroArch.

ROMSorter Release 6 - Default DAT and batch-patching!
Retroarch just matches console and game name to the artwork it stores on its own github page.

Is there any way to add covers to the LibRetro Thumbnail Database?

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).

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?

Computer Noob here, Found a old HP Thin client, model: T5565 (that I was hoping to use as a retro emulating machine) but when I boot it up i get the following image
