🔋 Battery & Charging Guide
- Charge via Type-C at 5V 1.5–2A — standard phone charger works. Full charge takes approximately 2 hours.
- Up to 6 hours of gaming on a full charge — heavier emulators (PSP, N64) draw more power than lighter ones (NES, GBA).
- OTG via Type-C — connect external storage or a USB controller with a Type-C OTG adapter.
- Charge regularly — lithium batteries prefer partial charges over full discharge cycles. Charge at 20–30% for best long-term battery health.
💡 Tips & Setup
- Games are preloaded — power on and navigate the emulator frontend to browse by system or game name. No additional setup needed.
- Expand storage: The TF card slot accepts up to 128GB. Drop additional game ROMs directly onto the card via OTG or a card reader.
- WiFi: Connect to WiFi for firmware updates, online features (on supported emulators), and to sync save states if using the OTG port.
- Custom firmware: The R36S Plus runs open-source Linux. ArkOS and other community firmwares are compatible if you want to customise the interface further.
- Volume and brightness: Adjustable via the dedicated buttons. For 6-hour sessions, set brightness to 50–60% to extend battery life.

Love this thing!! I’m new to the handheld game world. Everything worked perfectly. I did change out the sd card to a higher quality one which worked just fine. My two complaints are that the back part that holds in the battery keeps coming off by itself. The second complaint is that there is a crackling sound on the speaker when i turn it on and play games. It remains despite troubleshooting.
Great performance for the price, but the mono speaker leaves me wanting for more
