And even though this is a carbon copy of a carbon copy of a retro handheld, I've got to say that I'm impressed with what I've seen. This is easily a handheld that I can recommend to anyone.

I just ordered one and found this video to be very insightful so thank you for taking the time and effort to put it together. I'm like you in that I prefer to play 8 and 16 bit games when it comes to emulators so I'm excited to get my unit and try it out. Thankfully I now have this video to go back to if I need any pointers.

The last week I’ve upgrade twice. I am now currently waiting for this one. I hope it’s good enough to keep. So many it’s overwhelming 😂
-
Best Handheld to modify! Adding heatsink and other stuff is fun on this device.
-
I just ordered on from Walmart for 28 including the 3 year warranty, can't wait to get it n bring it to work
-
Just got one and I have had the rg35xx and this is MUCH better gaminh experience with the IPS display it’s gorgeous
-
It’s perfect i have it , has the best look but the problem is how the buttons feels like but it works
-
All the cons become easy to bear because of the low price (this thing can run anything up to ps1 flawlessly some sega dreamcast and some psp tittles but it can become better if they add bluetooth, wifi, micro hdmi and usb access to the sd cards, it can run other firmwares beside the arkos that comes included.
-
i like the way you elaborate this crazy console 😉
-
so many to choose from lol, I went with the miyoo mini + & I'm loving it so far! No more steam deck falling on my face in bed lololol
-
Thanks for all the help
-
Bought mine off aliexpress 39$ pretty good have not got it yet bought it last week :)
-
The budget 👑! R36S
-
I think that console works amazing I got mine
-
Ah the anbernic r36s is a good budget handheld
-
I believe this also comes in a transparent orange. Also, some Amazon sellers offer this device with high quality memory cards which also offsets the costs a bit. Well done video! Thank you.
-
This dude was like I don't have anything to compare it to and I'm thinking shit me either, then he pulls out 3 other consoles that look just like this one lol
-
r36s handheld game console for sale in sydney 15 thousand games for only 80
-
I know a lot of people love the R36S. It is a good cheap option for the power it has. I just can't get over the fact that it looks like a toy. I think it is mainly the speaker holes. Also, can't play with sticks at the bottom of a vertical handheld.
-
The only thing i dislike is how the buttons feel! It feels tough i prefer a more smoother button but thats just me
-
Fun fact: If a game isn't running smoothly on the r36s, try changing the settings a bit to fix it. And if it still doesn't work, idk keep trying bc if you can make god of war run then I'm sure you can make most work too.
