Hello, I bought a r36s a couple of days ago and i knew it was a clone based on that it had one ram chip but I don't know what specific clone it is. It has 1gb of ram as well but it only has this .dtb file

Question: Chill About dtb files

1 Upvotes

Hello, where can I find detailed information about these files? Why doesn't the original DTB that came with the console always work with various OSes? The DTC x86_64 tool (I use arch and I downloaded it from the official repos) Decompile and recompile correctly? I noticed with meld that the original dts files have many more sections related to micro volts

I've tried ArkOS4Clones panel 3 and it's not working. That's what another post recommended. It had lines and a blurry screen and also wouldn't shut off. Sorry if this is a repeat.

Question: Device Problem Help-I bought this console today, is there any way to modify it?

I bought this console today thinking it was a version of the R36s. I'm not disappointed with the console, but I'd really like to know if there's any way to improve its performance. For GBA games, I'd also like to know if there's any way to add a browser like Chrome or make YouTube work, since it loads the ads but not the video. I'd also like to see if I can add some playlists I have and some anime, since I'm really looking forward to rewatching Death Note It reminds me a lot of the old .3gp format, like the Sony Ericsson W200 phone. Should I back up the TF card, or is it better not to? Thanks a lot for your help. (I don't know if the console is outdated (the version is there because when I try to search for a new version, nothing loads). ((Sorry for my English, it's not my native language.))

News [RELEASE] vamanOS for PS202 devices is out!

Thumbnail
github.com
12 Upvotes

vamanOS is a simple firmware update for the R36S PS202 devices. These are fake clones of the original R36S and they come with Android 4.4, WiFi and Bluetooth. Their factory UI is really bad and there's very little scope for modifications. This is why I made vamanOS. It gives the handheld a clean game menu, opens games with RetroArch or PPSSPP, and enhances the experience of using the Android 4.4 based handheld.

This installer is for the R36S PS202, also called PS202 or TICHIPS.

The supported device should have:

  • Model: PS202
  • Build: PS202_00001
  • Android: 4.4.2
  • Processor: MediaTek MT6572
  • Screen: landscape 640 × 480
  • Built-in wireless: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

The installer checks the device before it starts. It is not for other R36S models or other handhelds. If this looks like your device, you’re good to go!

Question: Chill Y02 2024-08-12 (dArkOs re or en)

Thumbnail

Hi

Just some advice. Just got a R36s via ebay and in mint condition but running an older OS version and looking to update this to a newer OS.

I'm trying to determine if this is an original console or cloned. It has 2 ram chips, which originally a sign of an original but from some reading clones now have these too. The front led displays red, green and blue (and pink when charging), which again isn't a definitive sign of an original.

I have the original DTB's and have tried the online panel id sites, which returns unknown as DTBs not recognised.

The PCB version is Y02 2024-08-12, which is similar to one in the DTB selector for dArkOs (re and en) of Y02 2024 12 18 ... but again doesn't really mean it is an original panel etc.

I have also been through all the wiki pages and can't see this PCB version listed anywhere (there are a few Y02 listed but not an exact match).

Is just a case of trying dArkOsRe and trying every original DTB to find one that works and if no joy then cycle each clone DTB and see if of those work? Is there way to access the DTB to find out if that lists the panel version (which I assume it won't otherwise the online DTB id would have picked that up).

Advice would be much appreciated

Question: Chill Too many SD cards. Which ones to buy (pls read desc)

1 Upvotes

HOLY CRAP this is overwhelming. I am trying to get into setting up my R36S with very little knowledge of stuff like this before. I just got it recently and already have the issue of the thing not loading properly and am ready to replace the microSD cards. I was told a two card setup is prefer. Without judging, without saying “this has been asked a billion times” can someone literally just tell me what two microSD cards I should buy, period. If they’re available on Amazon that would be preferred but I would just prefer someone with a flat straight up “hey get these two cards” instead of looking at the incredibly confusing wiki. Thank you.

Question: Device Problem Como transformo meu R36S em um R36DS dobrável(tela única)?

1 Upvotes

Este é meu primeiro projeto de casemod, e estou na fase de planejamento. A ideia final é: - Case novo (impressão 3D): dobrável tipo DS/3DS, com tela + placa de um lado - Arrmazenamento: HD de 500GB (via USB) + 2x células 18650 em paralelo (BMS) - Trocar os botões: Start, Select e FN (perdi os originais)

Tudo planejado, mas esbarrei em um detalhe crítico:

O cabo flat da tela é muito curto pra funcionar numa case dobrável. Sem ele, não consigo fazer a dobradiça sem danificar o cabo ou deixar a tela inutilizável.

Alguém aqui já passou por isso? Gostaria de saber: 1. Existe um flat cable de reposição mais longo, com o mesmo pinout? 2. Ou dá pra usar um extensor/adaptador de flat sem perder qualidade? 3. Alguma solução criativa que vocês usaram? 4. Vocês acham que vai dá certo ou não? 5. O que vocês comprariam para essa situação e o que adicionaram?

Agradeço as dicas! 🙏

I FULLY expected a clone. Honestly, for $25, I’m surprised the console even showed up at my door, but just for the general knowledge, did I do good? How comparable is it to original? My requirement is just SNES and GBA games and nothing else, but it’s good to know what it’s capable of. I also noticed that it had 800 something megabytes of RAM. Not sure that’s normal…

Suggestion Don't buy from "RETROVERSE" its a BS clone you cant even add games to. Came with a fake "64gb" card that's actually 16g.

2 Upvotes

Man, wish I woulda came here first, their site looks promising buts its BS. I did get three for the 75$ im out so maybe I'll resell them with the legit info on them on market place for 20$. I dunno. It wouldnt have been so bad if I coulda added games but FFS, they couldn't even get that right
