Hey guys, please dont erase your ORIGINAL Stock SD. YOU NEED NEW SD CARDS. DONT REUSE YOUR STOCK SD CARDS. Its seems alot of people are deleting their stock sd to reuse it and deleting the necessary dtb files. Please follow instructions so you dont have a bad time. Also you NEED to use your own dtb from your stock sd card. Mine will not work for you anymore because the R36S has had hardware changes.
@@JaviPlayRetro hey i accidently swapped the stock dtb files with the ones you have and now i get a black screen could you give me the stock dtb files so i can fix it
Bro, you're a hero ! I managed to do this without any IT knowledge after my R36S with original SD card was not launching Pokemon after only few days. I even managed to get back my save. One precision though on my experience on copying the BOOT files from original SD card : I had one additional file called "autorun" that does not appear in your video. Firstly I only copied the 5 files as in your video and it did not work (black screen when turning on). Then I also copied the file autorun and it worked ! Many thanks !
IF YOU BOOT AND FIND A BLACK SCREEN TRY THIS: If using 2 SD cards, one for roms one for OS, I found that my R36S would not boot without BOTH cards ready and in the device. During the part where you delete the 4 files shown in the video, if you do not have some of the files the guy in the video has, then just delete the files you do have and replace them. LEAVE THE OTHER FILES if they are not going to be replaced. This is what worked for me, hope it helps
I did everything exactly as it was mentioned but was stuck with black screen but you saved the hassle, Your Comment was equally helpful as the video. thank you so much.
Do you know where he got the games from? That is the one part of the video i'm confused about. He just said "here is my list of games" but where did they come from?
Confirmed working, thanks! Two caveats from my own experience; (1) under the dual SD card setup, some save states will not transfer over will cause the system to crash if the state gets loaded. The actual save files were still preserved though, and newer save states from that point on still worked. This might have something to do with emulator updates in the later revision of ArkOS. (2) The very useful search function was also disabled by default, but that was fixed by START -> GAME COLLECTION SETTINGS -> AUTOMATIC GAME COLLECTIONS -> and then selecting ALL GAMES
This is the best video I've seen so far for someone who is complete newbie, all the other vids I've seen assume the viewer has some basic emulation knowledge, which is a bit frustrating. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much, I've been having a lot of trouble with tethering and getting a wifi connection to the device, so scraping the entire collection I have installed was giving me some anxiety. Your tutorial was so good, covered every detail and has really put my mind at ease. Kudos to you sir.
Dope bro. Ive done alot of these things as well. Ive also changed the joysticks to swtich lite sticks ( to match my white unit), & added foam to quiet the buttons.
Hi First of all, thank you very much. I watched many other tutorials and none of them felt confident, but your video was a ray of light. I followed it almost step by step (I omitted MiniTool because it requires a license) and everything was perfect. Honestly I don't even speak English, I'm from Mexico but I still followed your actions, thank you.
So little update. I tried jelOS, it was not very good, then I came back to this video and just went with your whole process lmao. Rgb30 had me too JelOS pilled I fear.
Thanks, brother. Im glad you found this helpful. Check my R36S tips video as well for some really cool things you can do with this device. Like getting the FN button to work
Thanks for the video, it saved me! I've got my R36S last week and today I've got the new SD, but whenever I tried to flash the new SD one of the partitions (BOOT or EASYROMS, never both) didn't show up. I used MiniTool like you showed and now it is working like a charm! Many thanks!
Hey! Thanks for the detailed video, could you please explain how to add wifi and BT functionality, does it worth it? What accessories might/should be purchased etc.
Finally! Thank you so much! No other tutorial has gotten this right. I was starting to think it was cause I was doing this from a Mac and all the tools used in other videos are not available on Mac. Not true...just needed to copy the files from the stock SD card. Solved all of my issues.
Damn dude! Great video my guy. This was professionally done. I see the effort! I can only imagine in a year from now. Best of luck to you Friend! You definitely got it!
Hello from Malaysia. Thank you so much for easy guide. I ordered This console after watching your video. Can't wait for it to arrive and try do it for my self then i can buy this 2 or 3 console for my niece. You got your self a new subscriber😎
I cannot wait for mine to come. I heard an ethernet to USBc adaptor works for scraping the art so i ordered one with an SD card reader so I can transfer the OS to the new SD card i bought. I didn't have enough for a 128 gb card for my games so will just use the stock one for now. I am not taking my 1.5 terabyte or my one terabyte cards out of my steam deck and ROG Ally.
Great video and super well made :> will do all this when i get mine. Also if you ever find some new update or anything new that speeds up fps i would love to see a video on that.
For me it never loads up and the files are flashed and all. Its just a black screen for me. I did the steps over 4 times and nothing. Am I doing something wrong here?
At the screen scraper part: it didn't create an images folder for every console, but it did download all the 2d boxart pictures for all consoles though, i have now images folders for most of the Nintendo consoles except the snes
I got a lot done thank you. A few problems I had when following your steps, you didn't say where to get the bios, so I grabbed them from the stock card and hope that's good enough, also when doing a 2 card setup the roms card didn't load the game folders so I have to create them, i hope I can just grab them all from the OS card where they did get created.
Your vid helped a lot. I accidentally kamikaze'd my dtb so that was a pain in the ass to find the correct replacement and install, but otherwise all your steps helped a ton! Thanks :)
Gold guide my man! Thank you, have you got something to set up screensaver videos like in the default sd? it was a cool feature cause you could start the game played in the screensaver!
Hi jacek im from malaysia🌟. I already follow all you tutorial step by step until the end and everything fine!! Your tutorial are the best i found. I use 2 card and work perfectly. I only left to download scrapper online using wifi adapter. but there was one thing i want to ask. I check the update in option and there was and update. Do it safe for proceed the update? Btw thanks for the best tutorial among all video i watch in youtube. Keep do video about r36s!!!hope you can reply this ASAP
Great video man I just purchased this and already excited I just had a question does the bios files go on the boot card or roms card for the two card setup?
@@JaviPlayRetro thank you so much for the help this video has been very informative. I have a two card set up a 32/64 and I already did all these steps and it went smoothly I just wanted to make sure I’m putting the bios files were they need to be to function properly
Nice video, yesterday I was following some youtuber, he didn't explained so well how to update arkos, then I started to install the file and I couldn't start the console, always black screen, tried several times, I just get luck for someone said there was a file from Spain, that Worked, but I didn't remove those files, but after doing that, the console was working.. Just be carefull when trying to update your arkos, sometimes is better to leave as it is.
I really appreciate the video.. for me I may have to do a 1 card set up. This went well up until the second card. For some reason the second card does not show the files after I format it and swotch to it.
Hey Javi can you use the pre-loaded games from the R36, if so can you please upload a video showing how? Love your video btw. (can you also show how to download and add games to the r36s?)
Good afternoon Javi, The video is very good. The explanation of each step is incredible thanks. I wanted to ask you, if the system that comes from the factory, is there a possibility to make some cheats to the Pokemon (for masterBall and Rare Candy) without changing the system to Arkos. Thanks in advance.
this is the best tutorial i have seen so far, but i just have 1 question so please answer. Where did you get your roms folder from (your games), did you get them from the old sd card by dragging them out or did you download them from somewhere else?
Nice vid, liked and subbed. I'm looking forward to creating my own boot-up image and adding a tune or two to my rs36s. I have a question..... Have you a video showing how to set the emulators up at all? My Snes/Genesis/ Arcade are all fine, but I'm stuck when it comes to trying to play Amiga/C64 and probably most disk/cassette based games (I'm ok with Zx48k tho). How do I get the darn things to load up? Sorry for the long text, I'm trying to be thorough because I'm getting desperate. Hahaa. Thanks, and keep up the good work.
Hi Javi, a couple questions 1. Where do u get your games file/roms? Website link is much appreciated. 2. How do we setup frame skip? I am playing Pokemon games in GB/GBA and would like to speed through cutscene, battle etc. 3. In RetroArch there are menu for Cheat, where can i get these cheat files?. Thanks for the very clear and brief video
1. Join my discord. 2. This features in not called frame skip but fast forward. Usually, this is already mapped to R2. If not, try select + R2. 3. The only cheats I've found to work are codebreaker cheats. You can look these up. I made another video on my channel about adding cheats in pokemon. You can watch this on how to do it. Cheats are version specific. This means a cheat will work on V1.0 but not V1.1 or V1.2 if a game has different versions.
@@JaviPlayRetroi did everything in the video so far. Now since i dont have any roms on my pc can i copy / paste them from the stock sd card with my progress on it? If so could you explain how i would do this or point me in the right direction pls? Thank you
@@JaviPlayRetro thanks bro, managed to copy the roms from the stock sd to my new one 👌🏻 ty for the detailed tutorial on how to do this. As a first time user with these devices it helped me out a TON 🙏🏻 you also was the reason i picked up the r36s lmao
Anyone have trouble with the second (ROM) SD card slot? I am formatting my new SD card to Fat32 but the R36S isn't recognizing the new card, says it can't find a properly formatted card. It still recognizes the stock card as properly formatted and working.
The Upgrade worked perfectly, thanks to you. But does anyone have the same problem, that the emulators on the stock-OS are better running? I can hardly play psp-games which worked far more better on the stock-OS. gb, gba is no big deal. But the higher demanding systems seems in need for configuration.
hey great video, I am a complete beginner when it comes to all this I have it working up 2 adding games and the BIOS files where did you get all them? Because you just seem to have them and didn't say where or how to get them
Thank you for the tutorial. I succeed the method you're showing but I experiment few problem. 1) Some directional button are reversed or not working (the problem is recurrent for all the games of a given console) 2) some games are not working for example Dr Mario 64
@@JaviPlayRetro @F_Dot_ turns out I was using 2 sd cards the R36s didn't like... it was a Kingston 64gb and a Sandisk 64gb card... it worked with a Samsung 64gb card
Hey man, great work! I'm just wondering about the Bios files you're talking about in 18:20, where can I find that? Only bios folder I found following this is with the stock files that already come with the R36S
hey bro this video helped me setup my device perfectly. i just had one question which i cannot seem to find the answer for anywhere. i can’t figure out where to put my psp games. the psp folder has multiple folders inside it. do you have any idea where to save these roms for them to appear on the console? your help would mean a lot. thanks!
Idk if anyone else has ran into the problem I did. If you're using a laptop and have a micro SD to SD adapter Rufus wouldn't pick up my micro SD. I just needed to get a USB adapter and it worked. Hope this helps someone.
update ive fixed it i do not have all my consoles on screen but i did get the playstation console to appear on like in the video so im glad altho i only have that one i did go in scapper and used the box insted of simple installement and it worked now i have to do it with each consoles or only the ones im gonna use anyway
dude you don't know how hard it was to find this amazing video, the others has me upset XD. if you could do more on adding ither emulators or finding roms sets/packs please make the vid
Mine finally came in the other day. I bought it for my brother as a gift, and this helped so much ! Question tho…how do you configure the NDS controls ? When I open a game the d pad doesn’t work …like Goldeneye I can’t turn left or right …the analog stick is mapped to the “stylus” … and the dpads don’t do anything …any help would be much appreciated!
I followed all the procedures as outlined in the video. I replaced the SD card with a Sandisk 128GB one. After transferring the data to the SD card and inserting it into the console, it displays the system logo and then goes to a black screen. It doesn't move past the black screen. I also noticed that when using Rufus, it only shows the BOOT partition. It doesn't create the EASYROOMS partition, and there's no option to change the drive letter. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
FOR ANYONE LIKE ME THAT IS MISSING SOME OF THE FILES HE SAID TO DELETE: I only had 2 of those files on my stock SD card, I just copied those 2 into my new sd card and deleted the 2 that needed to be deleted, the extra 2 I had I just left and my device worked fine

The Upgrade worked perfectly, thanks to you. But does anyone have the same problem, that the emulators on the stock-OS are better running? I can hardly play psp-games which worked far more better on the stock-OS. gb, gba is no big deal. But the higher demanding systems seems in need for configuration.
Great video. Please show us how to add screen saver gameplay video.
The funny part is I had this as a tip originally, but I felt like people already knew about how to do it.
Thanks bro! This was really helpful!
hey great video, I am a complete beginner when it comes to all this I have it working up 2 adding games and the BIOS files where did you get all them? Because you just seem to have them and didn't say where or how to get them
can overlays/screen wrappers be set for each system to fill the black space of the letterboxing?
Thank you for the tutorial. I succeed the method you're showing but I experiment few problem.
1) Some directional button are reversed or not working (the problem is recurrent for all the games of a given console)
2) some games are not working for example Dr Mario 64
Hey Javi, great video, but I can't seem to find the ROMs that came with the stock SD card to put on another card. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
You checked both cards?
@@JaviPlayRetro @F_Dot_ turns out I was using 2 sd cards the R36s didn't like... it was a Kingston 64gb and a Sandisk 64gb card... it worked with a Samsung 64gb card
Hello ! ☺️
Thanks for the video
How it works for Mac user? 😕
Love from 🇨🇭
Hey man, great work! I'm just wondering about the Bios files you're talking about in 18:20, where can I find that? Only bios folder I found following this is with the stock files that already come with the R36S
Thank You So SO much !
ANd Peeps if u lookin for the BIOS files, you need to get them from your Stock SD Card ;D
Where do you get the BIOS files for the roms?
When it comes to background music is there a way to make it cycle through it or randomly choose it with every boot of the handheld?
hey bro this video helped me setup my device perfectly. i just had one question which i cannot seem to find the answer for anywhere. i can’t figure out where to put my psp games. the psp folder has multiple folders inside it. do you have any idea where to save these roms for them to appear on the console? your help would mean a lot. thanks!
Idk if anyone else has ran into the problem I did. If you're using a laptop and have a micro SD to SD adapter Rufus wouldn't pick up my micro SD. I just needed to get a USB adapter and it worked. Hope this helps someone.
Mine comes tomorow cant wait
Hi Wonderful tu tutorial but from where do i download my games?

Great sharing.. so nice...
Man, this was really helpful, I can't thank you enough, but here's my like and my subscription anyway haha
Im glad I could help. Also thanks for your support.
dude you don't know how hard it was to find this amazing video, the others has me upset XD. if you could do more on adding ither emulators or finding roms sets/packs please make the vid
Damn sorry to hear. ;( UA-cam algorithm doesn't love me yet. And absolutely Ill keep it in mind
Mine finally came in the other day. I bought it for my brother as a gift, and this helped so much !
Question tho…how do you configure the NDS controls ? When I open a game the d pad doesn’t work …like Goldeneye I can’t turn left or right …the analog stick is mapped to the “stylus” … and the dpads don’t do anything …any help would be much appreciated!
I believe you would do this is the drastic menu.
I followed all the procedures as outlined in the video. I replaced the SD card with a Sandisk 128GB one. After transferring the data to the SD card and inserting it into the console, it displays the system logo and then goes to a black screen. It doesn't move past the black screen. I also noticed that when using Rufus, it only shows the BOOT partition. It doesn't create the EASYROOMS partition, and there's no option to change the drive letter. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
i just have this problem, did you manage to solve it?
FOR ANYONE LIKE ME THAT IS MISSING SOME OF THE FILES HE SAID TO DELETE:
I only had 2 of those files on my stock SD card, I just copied those 2 into my new sd card and deleted the 2 that needed to be deleted, the extra 2 I had I just left and my device worked fine
