I bought one for $30 maybe 6 months ago. The same store for the R36H. It does come with a 64GB microSD fully loaded w/ ArkOS and a bunch of games. It's recommended to swap out that 64GB card with a reputable brand card, as it's inevitable that it will fail.


I would recommend googling some guides how to set up the R36S (R36S is exactly the same as R36H internally), including putting the latest version of ArkOS or your choice OS on there. 128GB or 256GB are cheap and you should be able to load Atari all the way up to PS1/PSP/Dreamcast, plus many arcade systems like Naomi and CPS.


It runs pretty much all systems flawlessly, though it's hit or miss on PSP/Dreamcast. I've enjoyed playing puzzle games and RPGs mostly. It's not nearly as fun to play SF2, MK series, etc. on such a small handheld.

Damn you RevOne! I told myself the next time I saw the R36H at $25, I'd jump on it.

I don't NEED this!😄

I don't understand why SlickDeals is suddenly flooded with these kinds of emulation devices. Is the industry slapping Nintendo in the face (and rightly so)?

Hmm, thanks for the heads up I was just updating the post a moment ago and it's possible that may have jumbled up the links for a second. Would you mind refreshing the page and trying again / reporting back with your results, please? Currently, I'm able to access the links okay. (Anyone else also experiencing errors?)

Interesting Frown I can't seem to replicate the error on my side. I did a fresh copy and paste of the links as well. Would you happen to be using Adblock or VPN software by any chance? So sorry about all the trouble.

Very bizarre, through the app on my phone it does works without an issue but on my PC it won't open. I am not using any VPNs. Somehow the redirect doesn't work on my PC. No trouble, I can use the app instead.

Thanks for the follow up! Repped. Apologies for having to take up your time in finding a workaround. I wonder if perhaps SD is just experiencing a temporary hiccup.

No problem at all, thanks for the post and great deal! I can't wait for a system that will run Dreamcast/N64/Gamecube games a bit better without spending an arm and a leg.

I'm so sorry! Please don't be like me and end up with too many of these that you end up having to resell later lol

Any time I think the closest we have to something like that would be the Anbernic RG406V and RG406H, but those are $110 and $120, respectively at the moment (not quite "cheap" yet).

So many great options out there, I love the Retroid Pocket 5 too but hopefully they come down in price a little bit more.
