Can I use the old item_db in a current rAthena version?

[RimuruTempest]

I am getting back into private servers and I'm wondering if you can use the old item_db with a current version of rAthena

[Emistry]

No, latest rathena read most of the db files in yaml formal.

doc/yaml/db

Is there a way to convert the txt file to yaml? or is there a good guide on how to add custom items in yaml, I have been trying for a few hours with no success. I am using a 20151104 client and a dedicated host if that helps. Thank you in advance.

In tools folder, you should find csv2yaml file for the conversion.

Do I run that in my desktop or on the server? I use winscp to run my host

you can run it in your own desktop if you have rAthena compiled, or you may also run it in your hosted server. https://github.com/rathena/rathena/wiki/CSV2YAML

recompile using windows, or use your server. if linux, as stated here https://github.com/rathena/rathena/wiki/CSV2YAML you should 'make tools'.
