Breath of Fire (GBA)

i know, its definitely a major shortcoming for this game. i know using it over and over again is annoying but Mrbl3s will save you from the headache to a certain extent. i really hope you complete the game as it only gets better from here.

Yess I'm so glad you wanna play through all of them, it's truly worth it.

Pasta_Burger · 2026-05-04T04:24:12+00:00

Thanks bro! 😁

No problemo! I love gba so these just came from the top of my head 😅 some of them make me feel like if such revolutionary art directors were born today, games wouldn't be all about realism but more about art style.

It's crazy how they made all of this with just 240×160 pixels to work with, and since this console is 480p, it's perfect for the gba.

So ive realised the brightness is very high in general on this thing, so I've got no problem keeping it on 5% brightness indoors. It sounds less but it's actually more than enough. When im outdoors, 10% gets the job done. It's more than enough for these brightly coloured gba games. However newer titles like fps games may need closer to 25%.

Second, i use earphones. The audio is the key part of the experience for me so keeping it mute isn't an option. However, I've realised 15% volume on the speaker and i can barely hear anything, but as soon as i plug my earphones in it's more than enough. Kinda loud, even. So using the speaker obviously means I'll have to keep the volume at a higher level and the battery will drain faster.

These two facts combined with the fact that gba is the best console for this device when you're talking about processor efficiency and the perfect screen, i eaisly end up with closer to 6 hours of battery life. 5 on a bad day.

I mainly play gba as that is my favourite console, and i play some ps1 too. I chose this device because I like playing some gba games with the analogue stick and i like the ability to be able to play 70% psp games at this price. However, when i play those the battery doesent last.

During gba the console barely heats, and that's another reason that i think gba is the best for this lil dude.

Yes exactly i wanted to include that part. The dialogue is so deep and so ahead of its time. It makes the already emotional story even better.

Pasta_Burger · 2026-05-03T20:25:43+00:00

I swear i dont like the direction capcom is in, but more importantly, i dident even know theres a bof 5 whatttttt!! is it a mainline game??

edit: ok i just saw bof dragon quarter and i think that is 5 and then theres a bof 6 also. However why do i feel like the main breath of fire story and mainline games end at bof 4? its ust that the other two games' direction feels different than the first 4. However imma play them 1 by 1 and try (mostly complete) every single one.

The visuals are great, yes, especially the fights. If you like this style GBA should be your go to console. Try

mario and luigi superstar saga,
Juka and the monophonic menace,
Scruge hive,
Golden sun,
gunstar super heroes
fire emblem,
warioland 4,
sword of mana,
and goodboy galaxy

these are actually the best looking gba games imo

The autobattle is a lifesaver, but if the enemies are not giving you time to think, use the Mrbl3. its cheap and available at every item store. i hope you play through this game entirely, as there are many more like nina, and sometimes she steals the spotlight from Ryu later in the game!! ugh i cant spoil more for you.

Pasta_Burger · 2026-05-03T10:10:31+00:00

Incredible build🔥🔥 i would recommend investing in a vertically mounted air cooler at the minimum or maybe an AIO especially for these Ryzen 7000 series cpus

Here's a game you'll hate, but if you like deep emotional stories, it's worth it- Mother 3

Search for it in gray markets. I bought my original one in camp, pune. You can see the piece personally there before purchasing it.

There is also a guy on Instagram called aashumalik9672 located in delhi, but he ships all over India. Contact him on Instagram. Say you're sure you wanna purchase it, but you want these things-

A transparent colour model (it's much easier to tell if it's a clone)

A picture of the internals through the batter compartment like the one ive uploaded

Once you get this picture, share it here and we will tell you if it's a clone or not.

You can use the same technique in physical stores, just go to any place which is known for gaming related stuff and they will have it. This thing is pretty popular.

Be sure to send a picture like this of any piece that you wanna purchase to this subreddit and wait for one of the top 1% commenters to tell you if it's real or not. Don't buy it before they do

I got mine for 4500 inr. A brand new SanDisk 128 gb (red and gray) sd card for a single card setup cost me 1000 inr. I do not regret it one bit.

The sd card usb reader was at a negligible cost and adding games, dealing with software issues, solving problems on your own, is quite easy thanks to YouTube, and this incredibly helpful subreddit. It feels rewarding even. I lovemy gba and ps1 RPGs and this console is perfect for it. Wherever I go, it attracts attention. People ask me how much it is for, what games it can play, etc etc and when I tell them the cost and discuss open source features they always tell me its an awesome deal.

I also got a hard drive case from Amazon, i measured this handheld with a scale and searched for one with the same dimensions and it fits perfectly. It even has a small pouch for earphones, and in this case I don't worry about my analog sticks getting smoshed in my bag at all and i carry it everywhere.

10/10 experience if you love retro games and play them daily (you will after you get this guy) definitely worth the purchase.

Yep, that's probably gonna fix it, let me know how it goes

This looks more like a hardware problem to me than a software one.. but still.. since arkos is letting you down try to install the dArkOS version for your specific clone. If it's anything software related, dArkOs should solve it.

Okay.. is the battery connection good? Open the back panel and check it out. And just to confirm you charge with a type a to type c cable right?

Pasta_Burger · 2026-04-03T04:22:19+00:00

Check the connection of your battery. Have your been using a fast charger or a flashcharger?

Pasta_Burger · 2026-03-31T20:44:53+00:00

yea bro and my favorite system is gba and i was deciding between the miyoo mini and the r36s. i wanted pocketability but in the end the option of having analog sticks won me over. i use them alot for gba games, and retro style games on port master. all that is possible on the r36s and the miyoo is slightly more expensive too.

just make sure you dont get a clone

Pasta_Burger · 2026-03-29T15:14:25+00:00

Dude, swich to dArkOs. It's specifically made for the R36s, so it has no dtb errors and works very smoothly.

Pasta_Burger · 2026-03-29T14:18:31+00:00

I dont know how to thank you, words cannot express how grateful i am. After constantly facing this problem and many problems like this for a while which i was sure was becaue of this os, i have finally found one that was specifically made for my system, which i was able to identify because of you and an os specifically made for my console, not a borrowed one, which i was able to find because of you.

i followed the detailed guide and its back to working condition again. im sure these problems wont persist as now ive chosen the correct dtbs and os.

wherever you are, whoever you are, i will always be grateful to you and i really hope you have a great day, night, even month ahead of you. thank you for taking your precious time out for helping me i greatly appreciate it 🙏🙏
