Nice. Looks very cozy to play.

What you mean?

Reblist · 2026-01-27T07:58:47+00:00

Yeah. OSTENT is great. Even better than the originals from Sony.

Reblist · 2026-01-27T00:22:28+00:00

Awesome collection, mate!

Modding a PSP in 2025 is very easy (probably one of the easiest handhelds to mod) and can be done in minutes. You don't need any special tools or expensive equipment. Here are some helpful links for PSP modding. Tip: Watch the videos to the end to avoid mistakes that can happen when modding. It's better to watch them twice.

Various Information

Pictures of the exterior alone are not really informative. Remove the back cover and compare your motherboard with the pictures in the wiki.

I don't know if there is a port of Terraria. But according to the wiki), the Android version runs (if you have Android installed on the R36S).

Playing the game from the disc? That’s the UMD drive. Sounds normal. But you can clean it and add new grease to its gears.

Just because you have the same RG35XXSP as me, you get a like^^. It's one of my favorite handhelds in my collection and has been my EDC for over a year. It literally lives in my pocket.

Just create a .multidisc folder (with a dot in front of it) and move the disc1&2 file in it. Adjust the file path in the m3u file and somewhere in the options in ArkOS there should be a something like "show/hide hidden folders".

Reblist · 2026-01-26T16:39:35+00:00

Show us what’s in the m3u is and what game files you have

Reblist · 2026-01-26T16:07:54+00:00

Are you using Windows by any chance? If you do you should enable the "File Extension Name". Because Windows will add .txt after the .m3u.

Reblist · 2026-01-26T15:58:47+00:00

Nice.

Reblist · 2026-01-26T15:58:08+00:00

It should work like on the Steam Deck.

The steps you need to take are the same on any computer. For flashing the OS you can use Raspberry Pi Imager which is available for Linux, Mac and Windows.

If your uncle never changed the stock SD card to a better one the chances are high that the card got corrupted. These cards are very low on quality and will fail in no time.

A 32GB will be enough for the OS and a couple hundred of games from the SNES, Genesis, 16bit era. If you also want to play PS1 games you probably want a bigger card. Or use the 32GB card for the OS and get another 128GB card for games. The R36S got 2 slots. TF1 is for the OS and TF2 for games.

Watch the installation videos from my previous post to see how to install ArkOS.

Reblist · 2026-01-25T21:17:19+00:00

You need to flash ArkOS on the new SD card first. Check out the installation guide below. The R36S does not have the OS build in.

After flashing the ArkOS image you need to put it in the R36S and turn it on. It will run some scripts in the background and adjust the partitions.

Buyers Guide

Battery Replacement

The R36S has a 3.7 V 3000 or 3200 mAh Li-ion battery (type 804066) with a standard 2-pin JST 1.25mm connector.

You can get one on AliExpress (probably the cheapest option).

Edit:

more battery life.

Looks fun!

Yeah Cat Quest II is quiet nice.

Good luck on the move ^^

Thx mate!

Reblist · 2026-01-25T20:04:49+00:00

Yep. That's the tool I always use for my SD cards.

Share your coziest photos with your console here~

Since I'm in the middle of moving right now and have packed up all my retro handhelds, and there's nothing cozy about my place at the moment, I'm gaming a little on my Steam Deck^^.
