I’d like to reinstall Volumio on my Sparky Usbridge. Is there a link to an old version of Volumio I could use ?

Link working here.
Sorry, this link works indeed. For whatever reason I had to copy/paste it to make it work. Thanks!
It’s an understandable move indeed, but it would have been more elegant to leave sparky users with a working version of tidal connect. I recently bought a sparky board, just subscribed for volumio, but won’t probably stay with it with a questionable support and missing essential features. Please consider doing a final release with working tidal connect. Thank you.

I really appreciate it!
Totally untested… Only for the braves

In any case, for those who have a Sparky my suggestion is to upgrade to PI4
Great gesture, I think it will be appreciated @volumio by the Community (assuming it works ok ofc ).
Love you man. Much, much appreciated. Thank you, will report back how it works.
Unfortunately my Allo USBridge (which is a really great USB transport with Sparky in same housing originally) isn’t compatible with any Pi.
So the suggested upgrade isn’t easy…
Moreover I have three units at home.
That’s really unfortunate neukrisz. I’m sorry, but can only point you towards Allo for support.
Tested or not, supported or not, it looks rock stable so far on my Allo USBridge. I used dietpi + some command line tidal connect plugin so far, but this is a cleaner user experience. I’ll most probably stay with you guys for a year of Volumio Virtuoso after my trial period ends.
Thank you once again!
You re very welcome guys. Enjoy!
Many thanks for your efforts! We really appreciate that!
Just tried the 2.882 image on my old Sparky and it worked like a charm. I did get a rpi 4 as a backup, just in case, but a million thanks for the work, appreciate that. I hate throwing things away, and this has prolonged the useful life of my sparky for a bit!
Installed the 2.882 image and Tidal connect works fine.
Dear Volumio Team !
Please kindly take into consideration future support for Sparky sweethearts - as they are in my and not only mine opinion the best sounding simple SBC !
Thank you such much for great job which you make !

Thank you for 2.882. I created an account just to come and say that I appreciate your efforts. It works well with my Sparky/Usbridge. I know there are not many Sparky users, so understand your decision to drop it, but can I please request that you still make availabe “Totally untested, Only for the braves” versions of major future releases. Thanks!
Dear Sparky Users !
Recently I found my Sparky was able to update into 2.916 version simple by clicking “Check for updates”
Do you have the same with your ones ?
@volumio - can you provide us a link for this version ?
Thank you !

I don’t normally publish V2 versions, but make an exception for Sparky as it has been discontinued anyway. There is no V3.
