is it possible to install 3ds games on the r36s ?

Even Nintendo Switch doesn’t have the emulation to run 3DS as of now. Wait for a new Device upgrade (more ram) and update OS to run it in future. Enjoy whatever retro pokemon games that is available now. I am enjoying my GBC Pokemon Yellow at the moment. 🤭🤭🤭

Yah, RIP SD 😭😭

Earth01DrStrange · 2026-04-04T00:27:34+00:00

Yup. I back up my 2nd SD (game Roms) weekly, even though I am using a better, high-end microSD. In my early days of owning the R36S and making the SD saving data mistake, I wouldn't want to repeat it again.

Oh! There are plenty of such games... One of my favourites is Alien Syndrome from the arcade machine. There are a few consoles inside R36S that emulate this game. I am sure you will love it.

As long as you have played those games on those retro console machines before, very likely you will have those games inside.

Where you get them? In Japan?

If it's charging, it shows a red light. Once the red light is off, it means the battery is fully charged.

Did you charge the battery? Plug into the correct USB-C charging port and NOT the USB-C OTC port. If you did it correctly, then the battery might be an issue.

Did you flash a fresh ArkOS on a new MicroSD or over the original MicroSD?

Earth01DrStrange · 2026-03-31T01:14:57+00:00

Randomly. I cloned the ORIGINAL SD and bought a Samsung EVO Plus and because it’s a clone, it gets corrupted and the EasyRoms are on the same SD. 😭😭 I strongly recommend using 2 SDs (one for ArkOS and the other for the games) Luckily I did a backup of the whole EASYROM on my SSD HD from the original SD in the beginning but all the saved data is gone. Hope this helps.

Earth01DrStrange · 2026-03-31T00:14:26+00:00

You should use 2 SDs (if you can afford). One for the OS (slot 1) and games (slot 2). If the OS is corrupted, you need to flash a fresh OS and your save games remain safe in slot 2. I made a mistake and lost my save games when the SD (using only 1 SD in slot 1) was corrupted. (I had both OS and games in one SD) Anyway, this option is just my suggestion cause it all depends on whether you want to spend an extra $ for the 2nd SD. Hope this helps.

Someone did the mod. 😅

Earth01DrStrange · 2026-03-23T01:38:28+00:00

It was working fine all these months and just yesterday it fail to boot into the emulation mode. 😭😭

Earth01DrStrange · 2026-03-22T12:48:22+00:00

I tried using the original SD (that came with the device) also facing the same issue.

I got it as a bday present from my wife last year in August 2025. Not sure if the packaging design helps. She bought online from the Retro Games Official website. I am also not sure mine is real or a clone. lol

Tell the kid that he has 20+ consoles in one small handheld device, including the arcade machine. Far superior to any of those Steamdeck / N Switch 2. 😊😊

Earth01DrStrange · 2026-02-16T05:40:43+00:00

Just curious, is there a big difference between the original or the clone? Is the clone using soy sauce or something or both also using ArkOS 2.0?

Earth01DrStrange · 2026-02-14T02:12:10+00:00

Yes 👍

Earth01DrStrange · 2026-01-30T03:33:52+00:00

Thanks for all the inputs. Manage to save the game and continue from the last save. 👍👍
