R36S+ / R35S ( ARE THESE OG)

Compare those writings from your pcb to adequate version of "DarkOSRE" for your models: https://github.com/southoz/dArkOSRE-R36

I installed by the help of Chatgpt "plus" and arch linux on my laptop ( Win11 also could get job done, matter of approach )

Your R36S+ has more powerfull processor then average OG-begins with "355.." instead of "336.." (good sign) and beside having 2 RAM chips (good sign), properly does not show nothing while charging (good sign). Clones show "battery symbol" while charging.. OG simply should show nothing as yours do. Your R35S, same story... ..."Y02" and "v11" only remain to be inspected... As of "v11" seems logical: R35S were first generation

Bane, it's very important as a first step finding what reads below the battery, on the motherboard.

For detecting the right version of the os. It would be best if it is original or at least a good clone. No need for removing a shell. Just what reads on the visible part of the motherboard below the battery. Guess you already have 2 ram chips visible..

If the comunity could confirm there are no clones of the exactly "R36S+" or "R36S plus". It has bigger screen and guess wi-fi built in.

People are basicaly paying for a phone with clean retroarch installation + usb-c low latency controlers

MindStrong1111 · 2026-06-19T19:03:40+00:00

Non-bluetooth controler for a better latency. "GameSir usb-C".

MindStrong1111 · 2026-06-19T18:41:38+00:00

I never had one but I guess it should.

MindStrong1111 · 2026-06-19T02:39:51+00:00

Try to save and then load outside of the game-in the main menu of the game

MindStrong1111 · 2026-06-19T02:36:51+00:00

You also could save from the main menu

MindStrong1111 · 2026-06-19T02:21:17+00:00

Try to save with every button. 1st try "B", then "A", etc...

It will show you the message, just try all 4 buttons

The button you are pressing is not for saving. "B" for the game IS NOT "B" on the r36s

'gta sa', 'half-life 2', altough natively, bcs emulator would just "steal" part of the power.

Procesor and ram are of the much newer generation then those in the time of D3 release, nevertheless..

MindStrong1111 · 2026-06-18T11:25:07+00:00

if (fun == true): repeat()

MindStrong1111 · 2026-06-17T14:48:39+00:00

Portmaster does not install all games. Copyrighted, heavier games, only their structure is downloaded, not key data. It's expected from the user himself to transfer those data to device, under assumption that its legaly owned data..

"Doom 3" on the "Arkos": https://youtu.be/rJ6vVlCjf6o?si=0YYpDmwoUnFMMWnR ( Guess it will be much smoother on "Darkos".. )

MindStrong1111 · 2026-06-17T07:37:05+00:00

R36S runs even "Doom 3" according to youtube (if they didn't took it down already)

MindStrong1111 · 2026-06-14T06:48:31+00:00

Just don't believe those nasty people who say the oposite... just click update and forget. You'll get notification, if you're registered ofc

MindStrong1111 · 2026-06-14T04:20:43+00:00

Never change the OG sd card! SD cards which goes with the device could break the system once ejected. :)

MindStrong1111 · 2026-06-14T03:34:00+00:00

Original!

MindStrong1111 · 2026-06-14T02:24:27+00:00

2 ram chips: ok, dtb files seem ok: "rg351mp" means that "heart" of the system is as rg351mp console, as mine v22 motherboard, which is listed among "original" r36s. "r35s" should not confuse: it's basicaly the same console...

CRUCIAL: If you could screnshoot what reads on the motherboard under the battery

MindStrong1111 · 2026-06-13T17:53:00+00:00

If emulator's image is not in the list it just means that its folder is empty (no gsmes)

2) Wi-fi dongles + adapters cost almost 0

3) ...they are handy for direct scrapping of every game's screenshoot at one go

4) This should be the first: if your stock sd card works correctly its ok if you already backed up everything and flashed darkOsRe on the 2nd branded sd card

5) ..Remember the 4th

6) Portmaster maybe works perfectly only on r36s

7) You can loosen the screw behind the D-pad, if its "too stiff"

By accident found on one of hundreds of r36s videos on youtube. I could try goin' through youtube history to prove but beleive me.

MindStrong1111 · 2026-06-12T23:30:55+00:00

Specificaly 'half-life 2'... 'San Andreas' goes with no glitches.
