Finally someone's done a vid on this. I got a clone at Xmas and didn't realise. I have since got a genuine one. Then seen on reddit that u could do this. So going to now do this and ether pass on to a family member or even just keep as a spare system and keep an eye out for more updates for the clones.
Ok now we have to sd card in the clone left side and right side so when download the arkos on sd i put it in the right side right ?so what about the left side?should i leave it inside the 36s during this process or ?
the left SD is purely for ROMs on the clones stock OS. by default, the fresh arkOS install will read roms from the same sd card it was installed to (right slot). you can set arkOS to read roms from the right slot, but theres currently issues so its not recommended. to answer your question, i would keep the left side sd (stock one full of roms) out of the console and keep it somewhere safe like inside the box it came in
Ok then after downloading the arkos system in the right sd and its works . Should i back the left sd witch have all of the games or it will have two system now ?!
@@skratchyspy the fresh install wont have any games on it, so you will want to copy over any games from the old SD to the new sd. it sounds like your r36s has internal flash it boots from, so with your new SD card inserted in the right slot it will boot from that SD, and with no SD cards in the right slot it will boot from the internal flash
I couldnt get anything past 4.7 emualec working on my clone, i tried and it kept giving me black screen; it booted and i put files on it and it said it couldnt read the files even though the files are on there
are you talking about the stock OS "cant find any systems" issue? if so, i have a short video on how to fix that: ruclips.net/video/jL8PdjGYeVE/видео.html
I havent tried the portmaster app on the r36s clone yet, but the 3 ports seen in this video can be installed manually from the portmaster website. The basic steps are pretty much the same as my GTA Vice City portmaster guide video, but in my tests have noticed some controls are mapped incorrectly (depending on the game) ruclips.net/video/Sr-p8lVRUuE/видео.html
My clone stopped working after 100hours... it can not be charged, so i cant turn it on anymore. Btw I do have R36S (not a clone). How to get safe file from GBA? I read that save should be in backup folder, but it is empty when i look at it on my PC. It is not even hidden. I would like to transport save file to my mobile phone (melonDS). I used to do it in opposite way - played on mobile, then got the save file and imported it in backup folder in my RS36 and continued my journey on R36S.
have you tried different chargers for your r36s clone? as for save files, they are generally in the same folder as the ROMs (eg, gba folder for gba saves)
@@SjslTech Yes, it just dont react to any charges. Probably dead battery. I do have r36s. but saves are not visible. They are there (so i can play the game), but i cant export save to nowhere.
@ its possible your pc is hiding them, but if you navigate to the systems folder inside easy roms (eg N64), there should be the rom file, and with the exact same name but with a different extension should be the save file... for example "Ocarina of Time.N64" & "Ocarina of Time.sav"
Once again, youre a legend. Subscribed.
Thanks for this video! Lots of people need it!

I'll have to try all this tomorrow. Been bashing my head against a wall for a week trying to understand all this
Thank you so much! Finally got around to following your tutorial of how to actually do this and I works!
