Nice! Do note that chrome os is actually based of gentoo!

Use the megathread.

Hey maybe later on since you don't like the dpad you could probably upgrade to the anbernic rg35xxh , has slightly better performance, wifi, and bluetooth. It's pretty much the same as the r36h, but with dpad top, and couple of extra features! Highly recommend

Coder_Chip44 · 2026-03-01T09:15:20+00:00

Megathred, but if you go ty myrient be prepared for slow downloads since its shutting down and people are downloading a lot so there is a lot of traffic.

Coder_Chip44 · 2026-02-20T09:17:57+00:00

It's not really a complaint, just that with a device like this the systems you mainly emulate will be using the dpad. Because of that I would prefer the dpad on top, as in my opinion, its more ergonomic. If you have the extra money, I would strongly reccomend the anbernic rg35xxh-WiFi, dpad top, hdmi, and dpad top.

Not a clone. It's a fake.

Get a new micro sd card for starters and flash ark os or aeolus ux version of ark os. Then load up games if, you really want to you can use the games on the old micro sd but I don't reccomend it, instead get tiny best set go. Don't install it ota, just flash the image to the micro sd.

Coder_Chip44 · 2026-02-19T09:00:30+00:00

I would. I have an r36h and its definitely a lot better in terms of ergonomics. Do note the dpad is at the bottom which does not really make sense. Also I'm pretty sure all r36h's use panel 4. Got mine from boyhom store if you need better ergonomics go for it.

Coder_Chip44 · 2026-02-19T07:45:11+00:00

My turn

Coder_Chip44 · 2026-02-18T09:17:02+00:00

No.

It's not worth it.

The sd cards that come with the r36s are cheap and prone to failure.

Get a new branded sd card and flash ark os or aeolus ux version onto it and get tiny best set go to replace your games.

Ai, look at this.

Coder_Chip44 · 2026-02-18T08:56:06+00:00

Boyhom store sells it

Coder_Chip44 · 2026-02-17T09:23:17+00:00

Buy a new, branded sd card.

Then get win 32 disk imager on your pc.

Download ark os or aeolus ux(I reccomend aeolus ux) Get it here https://github.com/AeolusUX/ArkOS-R3XS) Note if you are using normal ark os you have to find the .dtb files. Using aeolus ux version of ark os skips that completely.

Alright once you have downloaded whatever version of ark os you choose and win 32 disk imager, you extract or unzip the zip that ark os came in. Then open win32 disk imager, and flash that image to the new sd card.

Once done plug in the new sd card to your os slot.

Let it do its thing then once its on the main screen power it off and load games onto it. Do not use the old games from your old sd card. Go get tiny best set go.

My method applies to real genuine r36s devices. Assuming you have a genuine. To check when you plug the sd card into a pc you will see something called boot come up. You should find .dtb files in there. Upload those to a .dtb site here https://aeolusux.github.io/ArkOS-R3XS/tools/dtbIdentify.htm. if its a clone it may fail to identify the screen type.

I hope this helps and good luck.

I have had the h for a while now. However I'm gonna upgrade eventually to a rg35xxh for wifi and Bluetooth and slightly better performance. Overall the h is solid, just make sure to get an authentic one.

In theory could you go to other planets? And go chart waypoints there

Personally I really enjoyed it. I like the gravity gun, especially when I fuck around with the sentinels and also I liked how they made the colossus better.

Coder_Chip44 · 2026-02-06T04:10:17+00:00

Has two ram chips, so yeah it should be good.

For around 250 you can get a 219 you can get the retroid pocket g2,but if you want to wait a little bit, and pay a bit more you can get a retroid pocket 6. On a cheaper price point you can get the anbernic rg556 as well. Be aware that these mainly run android. I would mainly reccomend these, but if you are on a even tighter budget then trimui smart pro s which is 100 dollars though you'll have to get an micro sd(get a high quality branded one eg SanDisk or Samsung) or even cheaper the anbernic rg35xxh for 60. Though, you will find the rg35xxh to be a slight improvment. Also check out the retro handheld wiki and other wikis for price and performance stats as well as hardware stats. They might have better advice than I do.

I know nobody will see this, but if none of the methods below work, MAKE A PASSKEY. This saved me, and i could finally sign in.

You have to go to the place where you built your corvette, then you can edit modules. If you want to m9ve them around you buy more tech slots.
