A new record low price on this previously popular retro handheld game console for those looking for something more basic at an affordable price. I believe this one is capable of handling PS1, PSP, Dreamcast and N64 titles.

Orange 64GB is the cheapest available on the listing followed by White, Black, Purple and Red.

For reviews Retro Game Corps has covered it in detail and I recommend installing ArkOS (RG351MP) for a far better experience.

    Tempted at this price, bit of retro fun whereas retroarch is a bit of effort.

    Just wondering if the keypad works well enough for diagonal moves, heard various reports but worth a go over $700 options.

    • soymeat on 24/08/2024 - 07:29

      This uses RetroArch too, but will be preconfigured as part of the OS.

    • Detrimental on 24/08/2024 - 09:18

      I’ve set up a couple of R36S’s as gifts for friends. One was fine but the other was hit and miss when registering diagonal moves. YMMV.

      For the price this is a great little console. Definitely recommend upgrading to ArkOS though, and replacing the micro SD card wth a better quality one.

    How easy is it io get games for this?

      Easy. But it can’t be discussed here. Google exists however.

    • Clear on 24/08/2024 - 07:44

      I haven't been able to figure out why some people get that. Is your account new? Have you made orders before?

    This can handle n64 at n6.4 frames per second

  • SueyJitSu on 24/08/2024 - 08:25

    No WiFi on these right? Unless you use a dongle or something?

      Seems like Wifi doesn't work at all, dongle or not.. according to the review above..

      • adrianhughes1998 on 24/08/2024 - 08:53

        Wrong. It does work with dongle or USB OTG adapter

      I got a usb c adapter & a TPLINK wifi usb adapter. Wifi works now.

      • adrianhughes1998 on 24/08/2024 - 08:54

        Another option I used is USB-C OTG adapter and used my phone as a tethered hotspot. That works well for me

          ah didn't know that. much cheaper option!

      This one worked with the ones I have (own a number of r36s for the kids)

      Keep in mind it makes a horrible static noise when something is downloading over wifi (something to do with being unshielded internally). You can correct that with either using a bit of tinfoil or using a USB extension to keep the usb wifi away from the handheld.
      Also used a bluetooth dongle for controllers which also worked fine.

      Thanks all for the replies. Much appreciated.

  • Windows7forever on 24/08/2024 - 08:32

    What sort of battery is in this thing? It looks removable from the photos.

    • undadog on 24/08/2024 - 08:44

      kinda. its not double aa's but easy enough to get a replacement and plug it in.

    I believe this one is capable of handling PS1, PSP, Dreamcast and N64 titles

    PS1, yes, and with upscaling full speed on most games (Spyro 3 has a smidgen of slow down when you turn on the upscaled textures)
    PSP, a good bunch, there's a lot of games that run full speed, there's a lot that need frame skip, there's some that you shouldn't try at all, and Harry Potter 4 straight up won't boot. Which is fine bc I went and played it on the R556 and yup, it's as meh as I remember.
    Dreamcast, will play most games fine, weirdly wouldn't play Kiss Psycho Circus for me at all, other than that the only slow down I personally had was Dead or Alive 2, still playable, but like, I wouldn't recommend it.
    N64 I've tried the least bc I just wouldn't choose the N64 version of a game, I did beat GoldenEye fully though, which is about the only N64 game I need (bc the R36S runs the far superior SM64 redo/port/thing), which was more or less full speed though it did have the odd missing texture here and there. Could probably be fixed with settings.

    For the price, it's an absolute banger and I recommend it to everyone. N64 is probably the one to give you the most trouble though. Plays a remarkable amount of PSP games too, Spider-Man 2 is full speed, Chinatown Wars, Burnout Legends, Tony Hawk Project 8 (not THUG2, it's much slower), Family Guy, and many more run full speed which is great. Others like Battlefront 2 are playable, but then, the original BF2 on PSP always ran kinda like shit anyway (impressively mind you, for a 2005 PSP game, but still shit) so eh.

    DS also runs really well, and has upscaling. Just don't pick super touch heavy games unless you're ready for using the joystick pointer, I don't think Elite Beat Agents would be fun here. Lego Star Wars, Mario Kart DS and the GoldenEye remake (with some creative joystick layout choices) are my faves for that system.

    • Windows7forever on 24/08/2024 - 08:54

      Thanks for the insight. I'm sold on it. I have an older portable emulator but it only plays up to SNES/genesis stuff so this will be a big upgrade.

    • GC67 on 24/08/2024 - 09:20

      Does it play Mame Games?

  • bargin424 on 24/08/2024 - 09:07

    Coupon has the error of: For security reasons your request can't currently be processed

      New account? Have you made orders before?

  • Windows7forever on 24/08/2024 - 09:15

    I'm having trouble checking out.
    It says "cannot use coupon code in conjuction with any other offer".

    Their website is a horrible mess. I am an existing customer so not using any new user coupons. I have triple checked the item in my cart. AliExpress Choice and Winter Sale are selected by default in my cart and I cannot remove these selections.

    • Clear on 24/08/2024 - 09:18

      Have you made orders in the last 12 months? They deem you to be a new user if it's been a long time.

      AliExpress Choice and Winter Sale are selected by default in my cart and I cannot remove these selections.

      What do you mean? Are there products you can't remove? There's a winter sale on and Choice items just means they're fulfilled by AliExpress and ship faster. This doesn't impact coupon usage.

      • Windows7forever on 24/08/2024 - 09:19

        Edit: I think I found the problem. The checkout system is automatically applying a "welcome deal" which means I'm ineligible to apply any further discount codes. I don't know how to deselect it and not sure why it is being offered to an existing customer! Oh that's right I havent made an order in over 12 months.
