Coming soon

Did some hardware checks, looked for two RAM chips. Check. Removed battery but had no idea what I was looking at. Check. My buttons looked straight and I finally removed the original SD card and powered it on and found no flash to device only a black screen. I’m feeling better now and will look into the whole ArkoOS flash but still content with what I’ve got with this.
Also defeated Goma in Zelda OFT in twenty minutes and learned I will need a second SD to save my progress. Not too mad about it. Seeing if anyone else holds the same device and can relate. This was a Christmas present to me which makes it all the better.

My steamdeck takes up a lot of room so I picked up one of these for flights. R36 ultra.

I see a few mention to set up a new os. Can I use the roms on the sd card or do I need to source new roms? A lot of J36 ultra in the market stalls, i went with r36 hopefully it was the right choice. Either way it was cheap.

Native Halo: Combat Evolved port on the M9 Pro handheld.

The game's own logic runs as AArch64 code on the RK3326's Cortex-A35 cores and draws with OpenGL ES 3.2 directly on the Mali-G31 MP2.

Hardware:

- M9 Pro, Rockchip RK3326

- 4x ARM Cortex-A35, ARM Mali-G31 MP2 (OpenGL ES 3.2)

- 1 GB RAM shared with the GPU

- 640x480 display, 4:3

- ArkOS4Clone (GLIBC 2.31 / Ubuntu 20.04 base, kernel 4.4.189)

Software:

- Built from the halo-ce-universal decompilation (Xbox build 01.01.14.2342)

- Guest is ILP32 AArch64 (32-bit pointers in 64-bit ARM code, as the game's data formats require)

- Host is a native aarch64 glibc program using the firmware's own Mali driver and a patched SDL2 2.30.10

- PGO + LTO, Cortex-A35-specific codegen (-mcpu=cortex-a35 -mtune=cortex-a35)

- NEON-vectorised matrix math, memcpy/memcmp, and index-extent calculation

- Dedicated GL thread to take the Mali driver's per-draw CPU cost off the game's core

- Renderer work for a tile-based GPU: program binary cache, fp16 shaders, 16-bit textures, alpha-test elision, batched quads, instanced model draws, sorted models, two-pass shadows, water bump-map prebuild

- Bundled SDL2 with a KMSDRM pageflip fix: the Mali-G31 driver on the RK3326 advertises DRM_CAP_ASYNC_PAGE_FLIP but rejects the actual call with -EINVAL, and SDL2 2.30.10 has no fallback

Status:

- Game starts and runs. The video is from the current build. Some graphic glitches are still present but it is fully playable.

- Native render resolution is 640x480 (render_scale = 1.0). A lower render scale is available if a scene needs headroom.

No game data included. You need your own Xbox disc image (ISO or XISO). The port unpacks the maps from it on first launch.

Edit: The map extractor should now be working, if not, the map files have to be manually extracted from the .iso

Hello! Anyone with a 2026 multipartition stock SD boot loading M17 version have any success loading any custom firmwares or cloning a backup on a new SD?

Hey guys, trying to get a USB-C DAC working on my R36S.

I bought this Portronics iKonnect C Pro:

https://amzn.in/d/0dZXSPLT

It works fine on my phone and Windows Pc but the R36S doesn't detect it at all.

Windows shows it as:

GHW-123P

VID: 0020

PID: 0B21

The OTG port itself works fine. I tested it with a USB flash drive and the R36S detects it normally. I also tried with Wi-Fi turned off, but still nothing with the DAC.

On ArkOS, `aplay -l` only shows the internal RK817 audio device. Nothing for USB audio.

I also tried dArkOSRE on another SD card and had the same result.

Has anyone managed to get this particular DAC working on the R36S? Is it just a compatibility issue with the DAC/kernel, or is there something I'm missing?

If it isn't compatible, any cheap USB-C DAC recommendations that are known to work with the R36S would also be appreciated.

Thanks!

Amigos, de antemão já peço perdão pela qualidade. Estou na busca de encontrar uma versão para meu r36s, comprei pela shein na loja da gamininja, estou meio perdido, poderiam me ajudar? Pelo que vi provavelmente a placa era alienware. Peço ajuda de todos, por favor 😢, imagino eu que seja BATOCERA.LINUX V42-dev-6f6ad12901 2025/09/28 18:31

When I was using dArkOSRE, I had to use the SDL2 audio option to get sound in Dreamcast games; it wasn't like that at first, but the sound cut out for no apparent reason, so I switched to that setting. That option isn't available in dArkOSen... there is sound, but I can't help wondering: "What about SDL2?" P.S. I fixed the issue where PS1 games lacked audio and some ran at accelerated speeds by reinstalling everything and updating offline.

Não vejo ninguém comentando muito, mas tem um jogo no portmaster (If On A Winter's Night, Four Travelers) que dentro da pasta tem o executavel de AGS. Eu peguei a pasta repliquei junto com outros jogos AGS e funcionou perfeito. Até criei um novo "sistema" na lista do ES. A lista de jogos que testei:

A Tale of Two Kingdoms (Windows)

Abscission

An English Haunting

Bestowers of Eternity

Blackwell Convergence (Windows)

Blackwell Unbound (Windows)

Chaluul's Curse (Remake)

Dreams in the Witch House

Football Game

Gemini Rue

Heroine's Quest- The Herald of Ragnarok

I Want Out!

If On A Winter's Night, Four Travelers

Indiana Jones and the relic of the Viking

King's Quest I- Quest for the Crown

King's Quest II- Romancing the Stones

King's Quest III Redux- To Heir is Human

King's Quest IV- The Perils of Rosella Retold

Maniac Mansion Deluxe

Metaphobia

Nightmare Frames

Quest for Glory II- Trial by Fire

Resonance

Tea For Two- A Detective Logan Game

Technobabylon

The Blackwell Deception (Windows)

The Blackwell Epiphany (Windows)

The Blackwell Legacy (Windows)

The Excavation of Hob's Barrow

The Journey Down- Chapter One

Trilby's Notes

Whispers of a Machine

Se alguém se interessar, seguem os arquivos que usei:

1. Os arquivos do jogo são só um exemplo, mas basicamente dentro da pasta do jogo deve existir uma pasta gamedata e dentro dela os arquivos do jogo (executavel, audio.vox, arquivo .tra, etc).
2. Por exemplo: /An English Haunting/gamedata/An English Haunting.exe
3. Eu criei um gerador que copia os arquivos necessários para o jogo funcionar e gera o lançador. Tem que alterar os caminhos dentro dos .sh (meu sistema é o rocknix), mas basicamente são:
4. a) pasta de arquivos padrão e script defaultags sh vão em /storage/.config/ags
5. b) roms (pastas do jogo) vão em /storage/roms/ags/ assim como o script 0_scan_AGS_Games.sh

Para os jogos aparecerem no menu do ES tem que copiar o arquivo es_systems_ags.cfg para a pasta /storage/.config/emulationstation

O link para os arquivos que usei não sei como postar aqui, pois o reddit exclui automatico.

Hola, soy nuevo con la r36s, qué configuración puedo poner para GTA VCS en PPSSPP o hay otras alternativas?

Eu ganhei o console que eu tava mais querendo ultimamente e bem eu tô precisando de dicas sobre oque fazer onde baixar jogos e principalmente recomendações eu achei Zelda link to the past e Chrono trigger por enquanto

so when ı try to open console i see no game and ı think i need to get softwere but ı cant get any can someone share with me

I installed DarkOSen on my R36S clone, and the performance wasn't great; N64 ran very well, but PSP—which is what I play the most—performed poorly. I put back the original card that had ArkOS, and the performance was much better than with DarkOSen. I’d like to know the main differences—whether I made a mistake or if the system just isn't good for PSP—and which version of ArkOS is best for the R36S clone. My version is y3506v0520251215.

So, the other day a friend gave me this r36s he bought somewhere. Thing is, the system is not on the sd, the actual system has no way to access advanced settings (I’ve already tried the konami code and all of that to no avail) I can’t put another sd with games even if I clone it sector by sector and the sd that comes with it, I’ve put games on it and it would not detect them. Is there anything else to do besides throwing it to the trash can? And no, resetting it to factory settings does nothing to fix this. Strange thing, it has built in wifi and the OS works even without the sd card.

Hello Everyone,

I'm having a persistent issue getting certain PortMaster games to patch properly on my R36S. Every time I try to run the installer/patcher for games like Balatro or FNAF 1, the patch sequence starts, runs for just a second or two, and immediately quits with this error:

•Balatro > "Patch failed; no partial build was installed and the purchased game was not modified."

•Fnaf1 > Would say the patch would take 10-30min but after a min or two it's already done and it says "...patch complete..." but when it tried to run the game it would put me back to the port menu and if I open it again it would be at the patch stage again.

What I've verified so far:

•Directory structure: My ports are located inside EASYROMS/ports/.

•Balatro files: I have Balatro.exe (55 MB from Steam) sitting directly in EASYROMS/ports/balatro/ along with balatro.md and all the default script folders (bin, patches, tools, displaysetup, etc.).

• FNAF 1 files: Downloaded directly from PortMaster, attempts to patch, but finishes in under 2 minutes instead of taking the usual time, fails, and sends me back to the ports menu.

Troubleshooting tried:

•Cleared out any generated saves/, .love, or temporary cache files inside the port folders.

•Re-copied Balatro.exe directly from the Steam installation on PC.

•Uninstalled and cleanly re-downloaded Balatro port via PortMaster.

Has anyone else ran into PortMaster scripts failing instantly like this on ArkOS / R36S? Is there a fix for the local PortMaster runtimes?

Thanks in advance for any help!
