Just ordered one. Transparent purple. Really looking forward to it.

[@BuddhaRhino]

This was well put together. Im suprised at how little views it has. All up i think the effort you put into this video was great and i hope your channel does well!

[@RandomTeq]

Very kind of you! Thank you so much.

[@gavinbarnes6310]

Just ordered mine for £23 can’t wait for it to come

[@kresimirjurilj4550]

cpu power isnt measured in GHz alone, but in IPC (instructions per cycle) as well. i5 13400f is way faster than lets say i7 980x

[@budgetking2591]

lol sherlock holmes in the house

[@kresimirjurilj4550]

@@budgetking2591 a17 is comparable to a35, just like i5 2500 is comparable to i5 7500. Numbers dont matter and the OP is wrong af. Its not "FAR BETAR" Its not "HALF DA SPID" of the latest mobile cpu.

[@icarusDaBoi]

One suggestion: try to normalize the audio between the room audio and voiceover. The gameplay footage's sound is really loud in comparison. I loved the video, though! It's an excellent review. Good info, well shot, well edited and paced. Its wonderful!

[@RandomTeq]

I really appreciate the kind manner of your feedback! I did lower the volume of the gameplay, but I guess it didn't lower it enough. Thanks for dropping by...

[@tibor29]

Good review, but your interpretation of how CPU performance is determined is incorrect. The clock speed at which the CPU runs at is just one out of multiple factors that determine how powerful a CPU is. The other factors that come into play are number of cores, the architecture of the chip, cache size etc. For example, a modern computer or even smartphone CPU running at 2ghz would completely blow an old Pentium 4 CPU running at 3ghz out of the water. But other than that I really enjoyed the review, good job.

[@RandomTeq]

I appreciate your feedback. There's only so much you can say in a video, I try to balance between information and entertainment but i got your point.

[@keithfulkerson]

This thing is kind of a pain to set up with ArkOS on new sd cards, but worth it. For the price, it can't be beat. I got it for $33.

[@RandomTeq]

If you catch it during a sale, you can get it for around 35USD, AliExpress has something offers going on.

[@andreamortati9913]

2:35 U can't cast the video output on a bigger screen, since the Soc RK3326 doesn't allow that: all consoles based on that chip can't do that.

[@RandomTeq]

Correct, from a physical standpoint, it's seems possible. Why else would it have 2 USB-C ports, but upon checking it further, it doesn't support external monitor.

[@francescobiancofiore6104]

Great video and explain. Just ask you for an help. Can i buy the smaller version of R36s(64Gb) and upgrade memory buying an 256 gb sd?

[@RandomTeq]

Thank you. Yes! When you're paying for the 256gb, you're essentially paying them to load additional games on an SD card, which you can do on your own.

[@noahlapuz3853]

Greate stuff!❤

[@cadderley100]

I guess that if you buy the Console for $40, that you don't get 20,000+ games pre-installed with it? Personally, I think it's wonderful. It supports all of the games that I grew up playing from the mid 1980's onwards, to today, on all of the consoles that I remember owning. I fully plan to buy one at the end of the month, but I will only buy the model with all of the games on it. Lately, I am more interested in playing the games that I grew up with, than I am in playing modern MMO's that are 100's of gigs in size, and take six months to farm for your character, before you even get anywhere. I actually loaded all of these emulators, and games, on to my Steamdeck, but it doesn't feel right. The console is too big for these games. The console needs to be about the same size as a Game Boy Colour, and this Console fits the bill perfectly. The ONLY way that system could possibly be any better, the ONLY way, is if it supported the PS Vita, through the Vita 3K emulator.

[@RandomTeq]

Wow! You have summarized a lot of my thoughts in a simple, easy to understand manner! Thank you. The only thing I would say is for its mid-90s 😃.

[@bluebird8004]

​@@RandomTeqI don't agree. As a 90's child myself, it reaches its limit at 90's onwards games. Absolutely nails everything through the 80's

[@robinson2589]

I agree i miss the old school games i got mine off tiktok and paid 59$ it has lots of games already. 2 sd cards included

[@Yugoboss22]

Clone your SD card ASAP

[@leventerado6760]

So my question is. Does it have dbz games?

[@RandomTeq]

I'm assuming you're referring to Dragon Ball Z. The answer is yes 😀 PS1, Sega and Nintendo.

[@juelzbandana3008]

Is there newer version of this console? Like more recent updated ones?

[@RandomTeq]

No, not to my knowledge.

[@brazuna8020]

Hey, are you able to save your progress? Great video btw

[@RandomTeq]

You can use save states (press SELECT + X, the SELECT SAVE STATE).

[@vitaliedamian1452]

I start it and i just find a " - " on the screen and nothig else. Am I doing something wrong? I read on the website that it comes with the games already on it

[@RandomTeq]

Help me understand. Did you get to the home screen? Where did you purchase it from?

[@RandomTeq]

You might want to do the following: Use the charger that came in the box to charge it. There might be an issue with the SD card. I have added a dropbox link to the description. In it, you will find the contents of both SD cards. The content of both SD cards was copied from the device you saw in the video. Use a Sandisk SD card and copy them. The only issue is that it's an ISO file, and I just copy-paste it. So you might need to convert it to ISO if it doesn't work.

[@skylarfoss2754]

Does it have the super popular titles from nint on there?

[@RandomTeq]

Mostly, yes. If you can't find them, they can be easily downloaded.

[@naxaph5301]

Hi, I'd like to ask, if the console already updated to latest Arkos 2.0 2024 version , the moment you open it?

[@RandomTeq]

No, it has to be done manually.

[@naxaph5301]

@@RandomTeq tnx, bro ❤️

[@user-cd1iz2qz9f]

Does it has psp and ps3 games on it that are already installed?

[@RandomTeq]

No PS3 or even PS2 games, unfortunately. They require alotnof CPU power to emulate, and the R36S is not capable of.

[@user-ol5it2lt3j]

So, no auxiliary jack then, eh?

[@RandomTeq]

Aux? Yes, there is.

[@noahlapuz3853]

Bottom

[@Weathersinoman2024]

Does it come with pre loaded games

[@RandomTeq]

Yes, roughly 6,500 games.

Which WiFi dongle did you use?

[@ninjaman580]

I bought one for 25 bucks on sale from aliexpress.

[@RandomTeq]

I've seen them go for around 35, 25 is a steal!

[@karthiyozo20]

We can't connect external monitor right ?

[@RandomTeq]

It's possible, but I don't see anyone trying to do it.

[@SoulfoolSelector]

It's actually not possible

[@RandomTeq]

I was assuming that it could support it since it has not 1 but 2 USB-C port. Unforetently, you're right. The device doesn't support external display.

[@budgetking2591]

Its consoie, not console!

[@RandomTeq]

Alright, thanks.
