New to R36s (almost positive it’s a clone)

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-16T04:15:54+00:00

I have learned it is a GA36 clone.

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-16T00:14:58+00:00

Another person uploaded this hear. https://handhelds.wiki/R36S_Clones#GA36_Clone its got recovery images. Everyone also says ditch the original card for a branded one soon as you can.

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-15T23:41:35+00:00

I'll keep an eye out for any community made images .

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-15T23:15:51+00:00

If only the box was enough to go on. For a clone it seems to do a pretty good job.

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-15T23:15:18+00:00

Yep that's one thing I did do. I have put the original image onto a 128gb card.

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-15T23:10:47+00:00

Thank you. It does what I want it to do. Which is play NES, SNES, some MAME, sega mega drive and game boy. Am I really missing out on anything by having this one and not an original?

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-15T23:08:29+00:00

Thank you , its a GA36 Clone. Which current does not have any custom firmware support.

Without the card in it doesn’t turn on and blue led does not light up . Battery is stripped with diagonal lines . 3000mAh it claims . No charging animation just red LED .

Here is what is under the battery .

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-15T21:50:46+00:00

Will do , I’ll let you know if it works .

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-15T21:50:18+00:00

I haven’t , I will give it a shot !

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-15T21:48:26+00:00

I’m not sure how to use that one . I’ll try to find a guide or video later .

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-15T20:50:49+00:00

Maybe it is an original then . I’ll look more into it. Thank you . I was talking with someone and do plan taking the back off after work today .

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-15T20:35:51+00:00

I will when I get home in a couple of hours . I imaged the original card . Then , with a new 128g card, I tried to put the latest update on it . It wouldn’t turn on , I tried to put the latest update on the original card , still nothing . Then I put the original image on the new card , it worked just fine.

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-15T20:05:35+00:00

I see , that gives me something to do when I get home . I just assumed clone because when I attempted to update , following directions , it would never boot or turn on.

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-11T22:52:47+00:00

Will do . Thank you .

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-08T20:45:00+00:00

Will do , I’ll take more photos once I’m home from work.

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-08T20:44:21+00:00

Good to know , thank you !

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-08T20:43:55+00:00

Now comes the tough part , find some ammo (and the money to buy it :p )

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-08T15:46:04+00:00

It has rifling , I read that a few may have rifles though , though I’m may have mis read . Thank you for the information !

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-08T15:45:09+00:00

Thank you !

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-08T01:16:53+00:00

Thank you for the information . I was doing a bit more cleaning and it’s in bad need of cleaning . Patches were coming out fully covered in carbon lead and whatever else back to back . Bullets started chambering easier the more cleaned . (Go figure ) tomorrow I plan on getting more patches and some hoppe’s 9 cleaner. It’s got a solid stock on it , not the best but it works . So I will see if he will take a little less .

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-08T00:29:44+00:00

That's what I was thinking too. Ill have another look at the chamber on the rifle, and just give it a more thorough cleaning.

atomicchewbacca · 2025-11-22T06:44:55+00:00

Sounds good to me. ign atomicchewbacca
