The R36S retro gaming handheld thread

[Lupus]

Like a 3210? Most modern phones can emulate up to PS2, Switch etcetra

Nah I mean improper

Like it's lacking deceny and such

My wife chose the purple one from this link. Literally clicked the link, choose purple, and add to basket, checkout. Seller listed as Solar Ocean where in the OP I believe it was Ikun trading or something.

So....

Takealot's 18th of Feb delivery turned out to be today, the 15th.

However...

It's a clone / fake?
This thing says D-R35Plus, what even is that?

Worth noting, checking the R36 clones database, I found no mention of any .dtb file.
There's also only one SD card slot.

What else should I be checking for now?

Like I said, we used the OP's link.

Worth keeping? Do I send it back as a fake?

EDIT: Seems an exchange request / refund is in order.

Yikes, that's not good. Yeah send it back man. On a side note, if you want to buy mine for the price I paid, you welcome to do so. Have another project in mind lol

Thanks,

I might take you up on that offer. I did log a return, hoping they exchange it for the real deal, but I am looking to get another one for myself, just not this month, I'm broke now, lol. Either that or if I don't get what I want, I'll be asking for a refund.

What did you pay, and where are you located?

Haha all good man, I'm in Cape Town

Thanks, I think I'll have a chat with wifey and hear what she says, and when payday comes around, if the offer is still on the table I'll take it off your hands. I'm in Pta but I guess Pudo or similar is an option.

Sadly the joys of takealot, even if you click on the same link, it can shift the seller to a different one, I clicked on link, look at seller

 

[Hansolo]

So picked one up from Temu R400, pretty decent will get new sd cards for it though and put more games on it.

 

[Lupus]

Send a pic when you can? I'm keen to see if it's a knockoff or original. That's a great price.

I would but every one in the family taking turns on it. Wouldn't know if it's original or not

 

[Lupus]

Here's the box

The buttons are embossed not just painted on, it's running arkos as well

But it's running the right OS, buttons look right. Runs most games fine, psp a little slow. But do need to get another memory card for other games.
I thought my one 64gb would work but it seems ha broke it

 

[Lupus]

Here is some shots. Son wants one now

Looks the same, hopefully it is. Will be checking after payday for my sons one

 

[Lupus]

Okay can't get it to read both rom directories

 

[Superjakes]

Who would be the preferred seller on Takealot? How are the Temu ones? Don’t leave me to make a mistake.
