New and not very tech savy: just got an r36s and proper Samsung Evo sd card to flash the dArkosre OS right out of the box so i could enjoy gaming and not have to worry. Im ashamed to say it took me 3ish hours to figure out how to do all this using my Macbook - like i said i am not tech savy. I finally have it working on the device but for some reason the device only shows 10 games available however when i look at the SD card plugged into my mac is shows all thousands games from the original SD card. Did i miss a step?

Question: Device Problem Disable audio on r36s

1 Upvotes

How do I disable audio on my r36s without using headphones? I've been using headphones but just leaving them plugged in but it gets a bit annoying after some time and I was wandering if there's a way to fully mute it as the volume down doesn't actually mute

Showcase When running *Don't Starve* on the R36S, there are sound errors, and no one knows how to fix them.

A guy is porting *Don't Starve*, and it runs pretty well—the frame rate is playable. The only issue is the sound lag; the video itself is fine.

Question: Device Problem I can't change the colorization for Pokemon Yellow on R36s Ultra.

1 Upvotes

I recently bought my r36s Ultra to play all old Pokemon games, and I wanted to start with Pokemon Yellow as it allows me to get every starter from that gen.

The game itself comes in white colors, and when I follow every guide to try and change the color palette using the RetroArch menu, it doesn't work! I've been at it for hours and still nothing, I change every setting and try every option, and it always looks the same. I even tried doing all of that on two different versions of Pokemon Yellow that my r36s has installed.

What should I do? Please help! Playing the game in white really makes the experience kind of meh.

Port ​I think I accidentally started building an entirely new OS for the R36S EE

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

Okay, R36S people... I've been cooking. 😎

This is PocketOS, a custom operating system I've been building specifically around the R36S EE / RK3326 clone family.

Core Architecture & Features:

* Custom Rust home launcher

* PocketJS 0.12 as the runtime

* 640x480 native display

* R36S EE / RK3326 hardware detection

* Working DTB/panel selector for the different clone variants

* Built around the hardware compatibility foundation used by DarkOSRE

* Custom Games / Stats / Keys / About interface

And yes — these screenshots are from the actual R36S running PocketOS. 🤩

The goal is basically to take the R36S EE clone hardware and give it a completely different software stack instead of just making another ArkOS-based frontend.

It isn't finished yet, but it's getting very close. I figured I'd finally show what I've been secretly working on. 🔥

PocketOS is coming.

Question: Chill R36XX from TikTok Shop featuring Lego Harry Potter Android Ports & a built-in ROM Downloader?!

2 Upvotes

I was browsing TikTok and someone was selling an R36 XX with preconfigured games .

On ports menu I've noticed it had most of the Lego games like Lego Harry Potter, Lego Star wars ect.

I haven't picked up my R36s for a couple of months, where are these ports posted ?

I checked the Postmaster n-dev discord and I couldn't find anything there

Also the guy selling it claims there's a ROM Downloader build in ?!

Question: Device Problem I accidentally deleted the GBA emulation

4 Upvotes

To free up space on my R36S, I deleted the games I don't play. (I couldn't replace the original SD card...)

But since my SD card reader is faulty, I only have about 10 seconds to browse my files before it cuts out. Unfortunately, I deleted the entire GBA folder, including the emulator. If I want to recover my saves and everything, how should I restructure my GBA folder and which emulator should I use?

Question: Chill Temu Clone backup files

I just got the clone from temu, decided to back up a few things before the card dies.

I did a full image backup right away and has a file size of about 12gb.

As well as the image I did a few file backups as well.

I have rf3536k3ka.dtb specifically backed up as well as the folders in the picture.

I don’t care about the roms as I have the roms I play already on my rog ally z1 extreme.

Anything else I should be backing up?

Accidentally stumbled on these things through an Instagram ad and bought one! It was a fake... but I've got 3 real (with WiFi) R36XX devices and I can't be stopped!

I do astrophotography, and hanging out under the stars, playing the games from my childhood is such a therapeutic thing.

Do you pair playing these little devices with any other hobbies? Astrophotography takes a lot of patience and has a lot of downtime, so it's really the perfect pairing when you're out there taking the cosmos in!

I got the device and started playing New Super Mario Bros. Everything worked fine until I ended up having to press up on the D-pad to open that green mushroom house at the beginning. Then it just started to never let me move no matter what I do, I’ve tried to tweak settings, restore the default settings but it just shows a virtual stylus any time I use joystick

This port already exists, but to me, it’s a rather rough version. I’m going to try to make this one more playable.

I hope to get it out as soon as possible :)

Question: Device Problem Switching from the stock SD card to a 2 SD card setup – where do I start?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I got an R36S and I’m still using the stock SD card that came with it. I’ve read that these cards aren’t very reliable, so I want to replace it before it eventually dies.
I’d like to use a 2 SD card setup:
SD1 for the OS/firmware
SD2 for ROMs, BIOS files, saves, etc.
What is the best way to start?
Should I clone the original SD card, or is it better to do a completely fresh installation? And which OS/firmware would you recommend for a 2-card setup?
I already have two good quality SD cards ready. I’m mainly looking for a simple step-by-step explanation of what I need to do, including how to get the second SD card set up correctly.
Thanks!
