it's the best just new sd's and load up with rom you can hook it up to you'r phone to up date it i have it for almost a year now and it's the king of cheep handhelds i love the r36s hands down get used more then my switch just saying
@@cjjorge6636 it is the king of cheap handhelds. My point is that if you are going to buy one, why not order those two devices for an extra $2 to $3 dollars if you don’t have an Android phone. Because in my case the wired tethering did not work with any of my iPhones. It only worked when I connected it to a Samsung Galaxy S10.
I’m keeping the console in my Que on Aliexpress. I have an iPhone, will the WiFi adapter allow Me to use hotspot to my Phone, and by getting that adaptor will it give me the boost necessary to connect to my own WiFi without needing any other device to go into my router?
@@ajoel624 Unfortunately the tethering doesn’t work from an iPhone. I tried with an iPhone 11 Pro Max and a 12 Pro Max and neither one of them worked. The only phone that I was able to use for tethering was an older Samsung Galaxy S10 that I had laying around. Now, the adapter that I recommend in the video worked for my device but I’ve heard that it may not work for newer devices because they keep on changing parts on the R36S. I know that it doesn’t work on the new clones that are coming out because I ordered another one and I got one that comes loaded with EmuELEC and the WiFi adapter didn’t work with it. So please be careful when you order. I would send a message to the store you are getting it from and confirm that the one you are getting does indeed come loaded with ArkOS. The Boyhom and Factory Direct stores are supposed to be selling the legit devices and not EmuELEC devices.
@@16bitsorhigher realistically the WiFi is only really needed for the update. I want them to create a link cable type tether for pokemon. All the other emulation is cool, but realistically a handheld like this is made for that kind of tethering.
@@ajoel624 On an R36S that fully works, you would need the WiFi for updates, for downloading themes, downloading ports and downloading artwork. I know it would be nice to connect two R36S to transfer Pokemon but I think there is a way to do it. If I’m not mistaken, Russ from Retro Game Corps shows a way to connect two emulators together for that purpose but I don’t remember which devices he uses. It might work on the R36S as well. I will look into that.

@@b-radomeara6476 it doesn’t come with any wrestling games but you can add it yourself. Just download it and then add it to games folder in Micro SD card.

@@uncleben1586 you should buy the R36S. My point is that it’s a good idea to spend an extra $2 to $3 to get the extra adapters when you order it. They come in handy.
just bought one usb a to usb c (otg) on aliexpress for not even 1 euros, its working perfectly just connected my smartphone to the r36s and boom its working. so any will do same

@@16bitsorhigher I got the ones with ArkOS installed, but neither one worked out of the box as I had to reflash them with new screen firmware, at the time I had to do this step around 3 times per device, as there are about 3 or 4 different firmwares. They're also very picky about what MicroSD card works too (Sandisk and samsung work well). Also one of the kids dropped one of their's a short distance and the screen is messed up now, but it still works somewhat. Replacement screens are a about a third of the price of a new device. This was accidental damage, but it does reveal something about the low durability of the device. Currently, I am trying to diagnose an issue with the other one. The screen intermittently goes dark while everything else seems to work. This one hasn't sustained any drops that I am aware of and I think some hardware might be faulty, but making warranty returns to Aliexpress seems like a waste of time as I don't think they would honour anything over 4 weeks.
