Just got a transparent orange r36s with a purple case and 2 screen protectors for $30, so excited. My first journey into emulation and I'm completely lost and have no idea what I'm doing. Love it😄
This was well put together. Im suprised at how little views it has. All up i think the effort you put into this video was great and i hope your channel does well!
I guess that if you buy the Console for $40, that you don't get 20,000+ games pre-installed with it? Personally, I think it's wonderful. It supports all of the games that I grew up playing from the mid 1980's onwards, to today, on all of the consoles that I remember owning. I fully plan to buy one at the end of the month, but I will only buy the model with all of the games on it. Lately, I am more interested in playing the games that I grew up with, than I am in playing modern MMO's that are 100's of gigs in size, and take six months to farm for your character, before you even get anywhere. I actually loaded all of these emulators, and games, on to my Steamdeck, but it doesn't feel right. The console is too big for these games. The console needs to be about the same size as a Game Boy Colour, and this Console fits the bill perfectly. The ONLY way that system could possibly be any better, the ONLY way, is if it supported the PS Vita, through the Vita 3K emulator.
Good review, but your interpretation of how CPU performance is determined is incorrect. The clock speed at which the CPU runs at is just one out of multiple factors that determine how powerful a CPU is. The other factors that come into play are number of cores, the architecture of the chip, cache size etc. For example, a modern computer or even smartphone CPU running at 2ghz would completely blow an old Pentium 4 CPU running at 3ghz out of the water. But other than that I really enjoyed the review, good job.

One suggestion: try to normalize the audio between the room audio and voiceover. The gameplay footage's sound is really loud in comparison. I loved the video, though! It's an excellent review. Good info, well shot, well edited and paced. Its wonderful!
I really appreciate the kind manner of your feedback! I did lower the volume of the gameplay, but I guess it didn't lower it enough. Thanks for dropping by...
Correct, from a physical standpoint, it's seems possible. Why else would it have 2 USB-C ports, but upon checking it further, it doesn't support external monitor.
Great video, have ordered one to Australia this will be my first handheld emulator ! Lil bit more expensive at 70 Australian dollars but far cheaper than others.
hi, Just a quick question but is it also possible to play games like pokemon platinum, Heartgold or soulsilver? Because in those games at the start you need to press the pokeball button on your Nintendo DS screen, And this one does not have a touchscreen. And will thoses games work fine? And are they already preinstalled when you receive them? Thank you for your time.
Not 100%, but it is more likely possible than not. Since it's a Linux-based emulator, you have the option to remap buttons. I'm pretty sure there are videos out there with R36S gameplaying NDS.
So it may sound like a silly question, but you have to have wifi to play games ? As I've literally just bought one to travel with , where I will not have wifi/internet
PSP and PS Vita are now considered vintage devices, pretty old by now, and hard to find one in a brand new condition, and they're being outperformed by newer devices. Here's a device that I will be reviewing soon retailing at 100 USD and is an excellent all-rounder. Trimui Smart Pro Amazon: amzn.to/3AZTKDs AliExpress: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dc8T54b
Clone both cards. Some people needed the _DTB_ (database) files from the OS card, after flashing an updated image of Ark OS. and getting a black or white screen of death. _Those DTB files can be specific to the individual device._ Many tutorials are claiming that you can just download one of the 4 different DTB files. This didn't work for some devices. _So it's believed that there are more than 4 different DTB files._ It's worth backing up your OS card.
Yoyou should buy cheaper one difference is in memory card and you probably have many memory cards and games you can download from web like emulators! All of these games you can play on your mobile
It might be required to update firmware, which is rare. Since I haven't tried the K36, i can't say much about it, but the rating seems to be similar to that of the R36S.
@@Haxr-dq6wt yeah it’s great I played it a lot for the first month I’ve kinda lost interest now but it’s still good for train rides and when ur waiting around
I start it and i just find a " - " on the screen and nothig else. Am I doing something wrong? I read on the website that it comes with the games already on it
You might want to do the following: Use the charger that came in the box to charge it. There might be an issue with the SD card. I have added a dropbox link to the description. In it, you will find the contents of both SD cards. The content of both SD cards was copied from the device you saw in the video. Use a Sandisk SD card and copy them. The only issue is that it's an ISO file, and I just copy-paste it. So you might need to convert it to ISO if it doesn't work.
In New Zealand it's over $65 on AliExpress so $40 is cheap this has all the games on the cheap Chinese game stick that connect to tv these won't but are portable
You are comparing a whatsoever called console produced in 2024 with the PSP produced in 2005?😅 like come on. And for me such consoles are for playing like 1 hour? 3 hours? And then I guarantee you you’ll throw it away, unlike the Switch console or so.
Why is it that lately people seem to have real difficulty in pronouncing the name of the game 'Super Mario Bros'? It's not 'Brohz', it's 'Brothers', Super Mario Brothers. It's the same with Sega, people are starting to mispronounce it as Segga, instead of how it should be pronounced 'Sayga'. What is wrong with people?

Wow! You have summarized a lot of my thoughts in a simple, easy to understand manner! Thank you. The only thing I would say is for its mid-90s 😃.
@@RandomTeqI don't agree. As a 90's child myself, it reaches its limit at 90's onwards games. Absolutely nails everything through the 80's

Thank you for making a video on this, I could find any actual reviews so this was super helpful!

Super Mario Bros. is from the 80's, but it was played heavily through the early 90s for sure.
Played it early 90s, nostalgic!
Thanks for your comment and support 👍
cpu power isnt measured in GHz alone, but in IPC (instructions per cycle) as well.

2:35 U can't cast the video output on a bigger screen, since the Soc RK3326 doesn't allow that: all consoles based on that chip can't do that.
Correct, from a physical standpoint, it's seems possible. Why else would it have 2 USB-C ports, but upon checking it further, it doesn't support external monitor.
This thing is kind of a pain to set up with ArkOS on new sd cards, but worth it. For the price, it can't be beat. I got it for $33.
If you catch it during a sale, you can get it for around 35USD, AliExpress has something offers going on.
Great video, have ordered one to Australia this will be my first handheld emulator ! Lil bit more expensive at 70 Australian dollars but far cheaper than others.

No, it has to be done manually.

Awesome! Make a copy. Recently, I had the SD card with OS go bad and had to flash a new OS.
@@RandomTeq check this for a new flash it makes it fast
Great video and explain. Just ask you for an help. Can i buy the smaller version of R36s(64Gb) and upgrade memory buying an 256 gb sd?
Thank you. Yes! When you're paying for the 256gb, you're essentially paying them to load additional games on an SD card, which you can do on your own.
Clone your SD card ASAP
Clone both cards. Some people needed the _DTB_ (database) files from the OS card, after flashing an updated image of Ark OS. and getting a black or white screen of death.

It's worth backing up your OS card.
Recently, the card went bad, and I had to reinstall the OS. I strongly recommend that you clone it.
Got second one with first not charging but paid just £26 this time instead £60. Also hoping works.
They have an ongoing sale. Great deal!
should I go for 64 or 128 gb? Great Review btw!
I appreciate you. Go for the 128GB. The value you get in exchange for the extra amount is worth it.
Yoyou should buy cheaper one difference is in memory card and you probably have many memory cards and games you can download from web like emulators! All of these games you can play on your mobile
So my question is. Does it have dbz games?
I'm assuming you're referring to Dragon Ball Z. The answer is yes 😀
PS1, Sega and Nintendo.
Is there newer version of this console? Like more recent updated ones?
No, not to my knowledge.
Does it have silent hill for ps1
Yes, Silent Hill (USA) - PS1
There is now the K36? Which one should I buy. the R or the K?
Ergonamicly, the K36 is better, but the emulator version on it, doesn't support wifi adapter.
@@RandomTeq I don'T care about wifi. Thank you! Or should I care about wifi?

Does it have the super popular titles from nint on there?
Mostly, yes. If you can't find them, they can be easily downloaded.
Does it has psp and ps3 games on it that are already installed?
No PS3 or even PS2 games, unfortunately. They require alotnof CPU power to emulate, and the R36S is not capable of.
I start it and i just find a " - " on the screen and nothig else. Am I doing something wrong? I read on the website that it comes with the games already on it
Help me understand. Did you get to the home screen? Where did you purchase it from?
You might want to do the following:
Use the charger that came in the box to charge it.
