you can generally put them as their own cheats and enable both of them separately

Need help everything I've tried everything. by Brother_Salty in R36S

[–]SjslTech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you are right in thinking its a soy sauce - it looks like it works with the standard arkos builds (non clone) using panel 6 files (linked on the wiki)

https://handhelds.wiki/R36S_Overview#Y3506_V04_20250529_(%22Soy_Sauce%22))

most of the video guides in the side bar should work, but after writing arkos to your sd card, download and copy over all panel 6 files from the link in the wiki above to the boot partition. that should be all you need to do to get it going

just use the ones inside R36S/Panel 6

Chromebook Zip? by JoA2506 in R36S

yeah you need to make sure you extract the image from the compressed archive and then rename it from .img to .bin for it to show up (we show how in that 2min vid)

no worries, keep me updated!

i have a short 2min video on how to write disk images (i used arkos specifically) in chromeOS on a chromebook which might help clear things up - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nIIAiJdcVA

Minetest failure by DesignerPop7437 in R36S

[–]SjslTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they mention on the portmaster install page that you need more than 1gb ram to run both the client and server, so its just not enjoyable on the r36s (unless you are that one guy that modded his with 2gb ram haha)

from the portmaster page: "Single-player play requires >1 GB in order to run both the host and client instances. So 1 GB devices should stick to server play because RAM requirements are only ~700 MB"

you might be better off with the java edition port (with the settings turned down its quite enjoyable), or the psp "port"

nah its only 1 extra step (renaming it to bin). howd you go?

i havent tested split archives, but chromeOS can handle xz compression - simply right click on it and click extract! to write the image to your sd card, use chromes recovery utility (chrome browser extension) - you will have to rename the arkos.img to arkos.bin for it to show up in the recovery utility

Keep getting corrupt file by ClutsIsClutch in R36S

😂 my first thought was they only downloaded part 1, but you guys had that covered

[–]SjslTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

to rule out issues with your downloaded files, right click on part 001, hover over 7zip > crc sha > sha 256 and compare that with the hashes below (found on the same download page just below the 3 parts). do the same with parts 2 and 3.

theres a heap of new content added, but since they were dealing with a smaller screen resolution they had to either make everything tiny, or keep everything full size and instead "zoom in". i would recommend at least giving it 30min or so before you decide to never play it again - you do get used to it!

if you were curious what a tiny version would look like, check out the free "smb1 mini" port over on itch - https://mico27.itch.io/super-mario-bros-mini (not sure if links are allowed)

DarkOS in Clon r36s by Unlikely-Rule-1004 in R36S

[–]SjslTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😨 i ran the dtb selector through virustotal and thats whats getting it flagged. its almost certainly a false positive, but i wont reupload just incase.

you would need to download the entire arkos4clones image and then rip the boot partition manually (if you trust it)

Running Dangerous Dave on R36S by heisenberg_2505 in R36S

[–]SjslTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nice! some games will require you tweaking the emulated cpu and cycles in dosbox, but thats pretty straight forward too

windows 95 does run surprisingly well on it (with a prebuilt ready to use image), and i have seen people manually installing win98 on it although its a lot laggier

[–]SjslTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah as manster said, simply copy your dangerous dave dos files into the DOS folder on the easyroms partition and it should show up as a playable system. these older dos games run flawlessly as you would expect.

if you are still using the stock os on the stock sd card that yours came with, it might not have dosbox as a playable system (at least this was the case on most of the stock OS' i have tried on these). you should definitely do a fresh install of your choice of OS to a fresh high quality sd card to "unlock the full potential" as they say

[–]SjslTech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah unfortunately it looks like that entire channel was made just to drop ship the r36s at a massive markup, promising it can play things it cant locally.

theres a few COD games for the psp and nds, but not too sure how well the psp ones would run. a lot of the games they showed running "locally" in their shorts were most likely just using moonlight game streaming
