    Cross-platform, sophisticated frontend for the libretro API. Licensed GPLv3.

    Project mention: Looking for a setup guide for retroarcher on plex | /r/RetroArcher | 2023-12-08

    You could try hosting the web version of Retroarch on your server, and use this but I don't think what you're looking for exists

  • Onion

    OS overhaul for Miyoo Mini and Mini+

    Project mention: Orange Pi Neo Coming as a Ryzen 7 and Linux Powered Handheld Device | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-07

    I've also recently fallen into (reading/watching about) it, and from what I've seen, some of them have really impressive levels of community software support

    e.g. https://onionui.github.io

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • EmuELEC

    EmuELEC, retro emulation for Amlogic devices. Based on CoreELEC. https://emuelec.org or join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/jQWCFwTn5T

    Project mention: Using emuELEC. Doom works. I just can't figure out how to get mods to work. | /r/Doom | 2023-07-04

    Considering Chocolate and LZDoom, both can work but what you would want is LZDoom for .pk3 files. There should be a guide here.

  • cloud-game

    Web-based Cloud Gaming service for Retro Game

  • Lakka-LibreELEC

    Lakka is a lightweight Linux distribution that transforms a small computer into a full blown game console.

    Project mention: Updating cores | /r/Lakka | 2023-12-06

    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.

    Project mention: Sharp x86000 / NEC-PC98 dataset | /r/RetroArch | 2023-12-09

    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?

  • gow

    I spent some (too much) time trying to get pretty much the same thing running using GOW [1]. Was quite a bit harder than I thought, requiring a hdmi dummy plug to get the xserver config right etc.
