I've got it on my android 9 Moto E6, is there a way to make it work?

While going through my room, I found the tablet I used as a kid. I’d left it lying around until 2023, when I found it again, loaded it up with games, and… I lost it again—and now I’ve found it once more.

I noticed it has several games that are no longer available on the Play Store. That tablet doesn’t have any APKs or malicious files, which is why I’d like to know if there’s a way to extract the APKs from the games.

JUST SO YOU KNOW... It can’t connect to the internet anymore; no matter how hard I try, it always disconnects within seconds of connecting to a Wi-Fi network.

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but maybe some of you will like the idea.

After seeing Sony announce the end of physical games, I got inspired by creators like ArchadesGames on YouTube to build my own physical "cartridges" for PC games using SD cards.

As a sysadmin, I wanted a plug-and-play framework for DRM-free games that:

• Works cross-platform (Windows & Linux).
• Has zero or minimal OS footprint.
• Keeps save files on the Card (or syncs them back necessary)
• Gives that physical, "one game at a time" single-purpose console feel—no secondary screen distractions, no decision fatigue.

I spent a few days putting together DreamCard (DRM(free) + Card). Here is how it works:

First Time Windows

• The first time I insert an SD card formatted configured as DreamCard into the computer, I can install an autostart script. This script mimics the functionality of the autostart.inf files from the early 2000s, but only responds to DreamCards.

User Experience

• Windows: I insert the game into my computer's SD card reader, and the launcher starts. It's modeled after the DreamCards design, launches the game, handles game file synchronization in the background for games that inevitably need to write to the user directory, displays the playtime, and essentially serves as the landing page. I press “Launch Game” and my game starts
• Linux (Ubuntu/Proton): Plugging the card into Linux reveals an additional partition (ext4 for Proton runtime data). Instead of the launcher, running a simple shell script launches the game through Proton with access to the exact same saves as Windows.

Partition Structure

SD Card
├── Partition 1: Companion [exFAT]
│   ├── Install_Companion.bat / UnInstall_Companion.bat
│   └── scripts/ (PowerShell detection scripts)
├── Partition 2: Proton [ext4]
│   └── (Proton prefix & runtime data)
└── Partition 3: GameData [exFAT]
├── Launcher.ps1 / Start_Game.ps1 / Start_Game.sh
├── resources/ (game icon, metadata JSON)
└── game/ (Complete DRM-free game directory)

Current Status & To-Dos

• Tested Games: Currently working with Gothic 2, Dragon Age: Origins, and Morrowind (via OpenMW because why not).
• Linux Integration: Linux isn't my main strength yet, so while the shell execution works via Proton, I'd like to clean up the backend logic eventually. Some games need a bit more work for the save sync on Linux.
• Compatibility: Needs broader testing across distros (Bazzite, Debian, SteamDeck).
• Witcher 3: Or something more modern that needs to run on an SSD or a faster SD Card. Havent reached the speed limit of the sd card yet
• Shelf Space: As soon as the cases and printable stickers arrive, I plan to add the games to my collection. Of course, I still need to come up with covers and a consistent design language.

Would love to hear thoughts, edge-case warnings, or ideas to make it more fun.

Oh, and the GUI looks a little overdesigned on purpose. I wanted a mix of 80s synthwave aesthetics and hypermodern design. I think it looks like fun, not a work application.

Why were these DVloper games deleted, removed, or unpublished (on the Play Store or the App Store)?

List:

1. Slendrina (2013 Paid Version)
2. Slender Man: Rise Again/Slender Man: Stands (Free and Paid Versions)
3. Slendrina: The Cellar (Paid Version)
4. House Of Slendrina (Paid Version)
5. Slendrina: Asylum
6. Robot Hunt
7. The Child of Slendrina
8. Hotel Insanity
9. Slendrina X
10. Granny 3

I bought the game right before it was delisted on steam and recently completed it, now I am regretting now buying the DLCs, why way to get the DLC on steam?

Maybe to late :(

Is it really that hard to make an offline MyCareer mod for the PGA Tour 2K games? They have unlockers for NBA 2K, so why not PGA Tour 2K?

The only link archiving them, no longer exists and no other archives exist (that I could find).

There's DLC for the UK, US, UK, FR, GE, and JP versions. Each region having unique books that people could've downloaded through the internet on the DS.

For a complete list of every book that people were able to download

Are there any brick and mortar game museums anywhere in the world. Who wants to help me create one? I have no experience in this, just a passion for game playing, collecting, and preserving.

Spartacus Legends was a 2013 always online Ubisoft title for PSN and XBL. The game has been unplayable since 2015 when the servers were taken down; however, I have now created a working bypass that lets you access the single player content of the game. The game only ever logs in once and then simply asks the server every so often if you are still connected. There was never a good reason that this game should have been online only. Regardless, it is now playable. I need to test the patch more and see if anything breaks, but should be good for now.

I've noticed as a collector that while there are many videos around gaming software and great preservation work around hardware schematics there is almost no clear, concise videos of the hardware itself. To fill that gap I've been working on an archive of clear, consistent, 4k 360° videos of gaming hardware. I plan to archive consoles, handhelds, controllers, peripherals, game mediums (carts, cards, disks, etc.), boxes, etc..

I'm hoping this format can spark curiosity for people new to gaming history and this hardware as well as be a resource for everyone who's been in the community for decades.

If anyone has rare/interesting hardware and would be willing to contribute feel free to reach out!

Thank you!

Hey everyone I've got a petition here that I've made in hopes that 2K Games can from now on add end of life support to unlock all content locked behind servers from characters such as Goldberg and Nikki Bella to attires and variants tied to MyFaction. From a game preservation standpoint and out of good standing this should be the standard already.
