Thanks.

I’ll have a look if I can sandbox in lineage first, then maybe apply for the beta test if it looks possible.

When you say “android” does it depend on any google services? Or will it run on lineageOS with no(minimal) google stuff?

I see what they did there. groan.

You can transfer the game with a wish scroll.

homeoftheunderdogs used to be awesome in like the year 2001. But now I think it only has either freeware or links to a google searches where the fiiles used to be.

soulseek, yes that is cool , some extreme niches covered on there. That probably is better than napster was in some ways.

yeah, keep backups.

i’ve got some a few old games bought on floppies or cds that are knackered now. A few of them i’ve ended up buying again from gog.

Trying to sell 'owt without becoming a sell-out.

fair point, i’m very used to just using f-droid, aurora, or sideloading apks from dubious places, for my phone and tablet, that i completely forget how much android stuff “needs” google services.

I got netflix running without google play, i think installed from aurora store. It needed a script to install widevide DRM that seemed to work.

But I can imagine things like games being more of a pain especially with online.

Does emulating via waydroid not work for android games? I don’t really do android games so not sure how well waydroid performs for that type of stuff - but it seems okay for a few android apps i’ve tried.
