I bought one for myself and ended up buying another as a gift. It’s incredibly easy to pick up and play, and the retro design makes it even better. Definitely worth it if you’re a fan of classic gaming.
I grew up playing a lot of these classic games and having them all on a small handheld is awesome. The screen is bright and the controls are easy to use. I’ve already put so many hours into it!
I took mine on a trip and it was honestly one of the best things I packed. It’s small enough to throw in my bag and gives me something to do on flights and during downtime. Definitely recommend it for anyone who loves retro games.
For the price, I was seriously impressed. It feels good in your hands, the screen looks great and there’s always something to play. It’s quickly become my go-to whenever I have some spare time.
I bought this because I wanted something to play while travelling and it has been perfect. It brought back so many childhood memories and I’ve spent way more time playing it than I expected. Such a fun little handheld.
This little console is so much fun. The screen is really clear, the controls feel great and having all those classic games in one place makes it so easy to pick up and play. I’ve been taking it everywhere with me!
everything is fine
R36S console with original Arkos system and R36S-V21 (2024-12-18) mainboard. Fast delivery, everything is great.
Confirmed original build. easily installed newest arcos version to new sd card and enabled second sd card slot to load games from it.
Everything arrived in perfect condition, it's the original model, you can buy without any worries.
Having so much fun. so many games to choose from. sound and image looks great.
Original console in perfect working order and supports any game without glitches
It's the original console. v22 panel 4 type 2. 1GB of RAM is available. It's the R36S.
Awesome device - it’s an original, not a clone or fake. full 1gb memory and original panel. runs n64 games great. make sure you try different emulators to find the best one per game in edit game metadata settings.
Seems to be a rather legit r36s, or at least a decent clone! two ram sticks and linux make it feel like a real one. mine came with a back sticker in spanish which is fun. not a bad buy.
everything is fine
original r36s
It got here way sooner than i thought it would. great device!
Original console, very good
Top Product
Well packaged, works perfectly and all games + Akos 2.0 already installed.
I love it! It's the original, unfortunately I had given one to my husband in Brazil. This one, compared to his, has much better quality in terms of screen, memory, and the number of games it comes with (although it can accommodate more), the settings are better, and his had sound issues. The sound of this one is much better. Excellent purchase and I will buy from this store again. The shipping was super fast and arrived in 2 weeks in Curitiba. I was unsure about some colors, but this white is very beautiful. It uses the latest version of the system and is running very well; it already comes with some themes.
Good console. I changed the micro SD card, updated the operating system, and installed GTA San Andreas through a YouTube tutorial, because it wasn't included with the console. The micro SD that came with the console was full of games and was 64GB, not 16GB like the ones sold by other stores.
This is the original r36s! delivered promptly and in top condition. i have opened it up to check, has both the ram chips in there and is behaving as expected running arkos. i’ve already put some 3d printed shoulder buttons and new hall effect analogs in, running like a dream. you’re in safe hands with this seller!
