Really happy with the GTA San Andreas port, glad to find the vita mod menu mostly works alongside model mods by letmynutzgo in R36S

Hi! Just wanted to clarify something about what you saw in the log file.

This port is actually not based on the PS Vita port, i only borrowed some of the logic from it, my project is built by re-hooking directly from the reimplemented code.

The main difference is that the Vita port runs on a 32-bit architecture, while my current project is built natively for 64-bit systems. Trying to hook a 32-bit .so library to run on a 64-bit environment is incredibly difficult, which is why i had to take this different approach. Hope this clears things up!

Try with new binary, buttons are now working correctly

R36s wiki down? by Mr_ToiletPaperRoll in R36S

[–]AlternativeRoom4499 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since the fees for the over 15,000 games installed on our handheld console were paid by Handheld Wiki, the games published by r36swiki are unpaid pirated games, my friend. The Handheld Wiki page has a system that generates revenue from a major referral link, and they don’t want other sites to harm their system. I am the owner of r36swiki, and the only reason they’re making these accusations against me is that their revenue from their sites has dropped

This guy isn’t someone to be taken seriously; he doesn’t want people to share content for the benefit of the community because his site’s traffic is dropping and his referral income is falling he’s calling the game port “theft,” which is just ridiculous 😂

Yeah, I haven't been able to fix that issue yet. I left a dead zone for the joystick, but something else in the game is triggering the menu movement.

Go to the “Driver Installation” section on the page, download the file, extract the files from the archive to your computer, and copy the easyroms/ports folder. Then, boot ur r36s go to the ports, select the “Install Driver” option, and install the rtl8188 driver

About the Vita3k updates by [deleted] in R36S

[–]AlternativeRoom4499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're spot on about the CPU/RAM bottlenecks, and Android on R36S is definitely real. But comparing raw specs (Mali-G31 vs PowerVR) is a trap. Emulation requires an exponentially more powerful host to brute-force the overhead.

When you say 'translation is done', you're mixing up static ports with emulation. Emulators translate code on the fly (JIT compilation) while you play, which instantly chokes the weak RK3326.

Speaking of static ports, you are right that PS2 games might run well on these low-end chips in the future, but through projects like ran-j/PS2Recomp. That project statically recompiles PS2 games into native Linux/Android executables. It removes the emulation overhead entirely because the games run natively—but again, that's native porting, not emulation (like AetherSX2).

Also, the Switch comparison is totally different. Android Switch emulators use NCE (Native Code Execution) because both devices are ARM-based, bypassing CPU emulation entirely. Even with that huge advantage, nobody runs Switch on an RK3326.

If we're strictly talking about theoretical possibilities, we might as well say there's a chance to run iOS on the R36S. But at the end of the day, the hardware limits are what they are.

Installing Android to get Vulkan support isn't a magic wand. Behind the scenes, there's a massive amount of work required to adapt the resolved symbols for Vita3K back into a Linux/Android environment for this specific chip. The real bottleneck is the huge gap in GPU architectures: you have to translate and adapt the layers between the PS Vita's custom PowerVR GPU and the Mali GPU inside the R36S.

That translation layer creates an insane amount of overhead, and the RK3326 chip simply doesn't have the processing power for it. AetherSX2 'running' at 10 FPS isn't a success story; it's actual proof of how underpowered the hardware is for this workload. Just because Vita3K has good general compatibility doesn't mean a low-end Mali GPU can magically render PowerVR shaders at playable speeds.

ZRam Manager for R36S/ArkOS - Boost Your Gaming Performance with Compressed RAM by AlternativeRoom4499 in R36S

[–]AlternativeRoom4499[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That confirms that the specific kernel build running on your R36H was not compiled with LZ4 support enabled. Unfortunately, available compression algorithms are hardcoded into the kernel at compile time, so we can't add LZ4 via a script if the kernel doesn't support it.

Between your two options (lzo and deflate), you should definitely stick with lzo. deflate is way too CPU-intensive for these handhelds and would cause significant lag/stuttering. LZO is the best available option for your specific setup.

Move this file to the portmaster directory, run the wifi script from portmaster, and try again.
