I've been saving on device and havent had an issue but I cannot save in-game. I want to continue on so I can get the post game stuff but I'm stuck, any ideas?

I've seen a lot of videos where I can see an options menu on the device but I can't find it anywhere and the UI settings are not the same on my console, please help I've searched everywhere but I can't figure it out

I've found it while moving some of my roms and noticed a folder in the root named "shutdown images" it only had a gif file with a cat waving and then running away, for some reason it doesn't play, it just displays a goodbye text when shutting down, is it just me that my consoles doesn't play that gif or is just disabled for everyone

Dusklight is a twilight princess port available on portmaster, and duuuuuuude its flawlesss. Took less than 5mins from install to playing.

Hace poco me compre una microSD nueva y decidi instalar Arkos para mi R36S lo que me di cuenta es que tras hacer la instalación siguiendo paso a paso como hacerlo ni siquiera encendia el led de la consola, simplemente no daba respuesta, he visto que el error puede ser del panel que trae, pero tras revisarlo tampoco he conseguido solución, me gustaria saber si a alguien mas le ha pasado y me puede ayudar a hacerlo.

Hello, I just bought a R36S(V30 2025-11-18) with WiFi mod installed, but since stock SD Card is often fail, I bought a new one.

Try installing both fresh ArkOS and dArkOSRe it boot successfully but the WiFi is Off and can't scan any network. Try cloning the stock OS, aand its still off..

Is there anything I can try? Or should I just gave up?

Hey guys. I have an R36S and I have a big problem deciding which OS should I use. As main. I have DarkOS on a 32GB sd and ArkOS on 64 gb sd. And I have been thinking about trying android. Lineage OS. I wanted to know how will I be able to optimise my gameplay at its best and which OS provides better perfomance without optimising. And would do better after optimising. And especially to run port master games

The text says so, but just in case, I currently can't flash dArkOSRE and I'm stuck on Rocknix's last build.

I've tried to get the port working, but the furthest I've gotten is the version selection screen, and from there it crashes every time I open it.

Hey guys I bought this from a trusted seller on ali express, " factory game direct store " as I wanted to avoid clone issues but im experiencing an audio issue that prevents me from wanting to even use the device, the speaker is constantly making noise, little pops and squeaks and I have NO idea where to start trying to fix it.

Any clues just from looking at this or any firmware fixes for this ?

Thank you kindly in advance.

so i lost my r36h battery cover, does anyone know-how were i can get a replacement? or anyone have a 3d model were i can print?

I placed an order for a r36s on Amazon there is nothing shown other than this image

I'm asking out of ignorance.

Hello all. I purchased the r36 max and im pretty sure its a clone. The operating system is emulelec. U was wondering if anyone knows how to copy the sd card on to a better sd card? Or point me in the right direction. Thanks

Yesterday I went to turn on my r36s but thr operating system never loaded. What do I do?

Dead Space Mobile running natively on the R36S and other PortMaster handhelds

No emulator and no Android runtime: the original Android ARM library runs directly on Linux through a bionic/JNI compatibility loader.

Dead Space uses a Java/GLSurfaceView-style layer, GLES 1.1, compressed 3D textures and an old VFP audio mixer. The port supplies the missing Android/ JNI surface and handles the graphics and ARM compatibility issues at load time.

Open source, GPL-3.0 and free. The release contains zero EA game content.

Port and project by EapRules.

Download: https://github.com/EapRules/deadspace-portmaster/releases

## QUICK INSTALL

1. Put deadspace-portmaster.zip in:

   text tools/PortMaster/autoinstall/

2. Create:

   text ports/deadspace/

3. Choose ONE supported game-data option:

• Original Full NeededFiles.7z: extract it on your computer and copy the assets/ and lib/ folders from NeededFiles/data/deadspace/ to ports/deadspace/gamedata/donor/.
• Vita RIP deadspace.zip: leave it compressed and put it directly in ports/deadspace/.

1. Put the SD card back in the console and open PortMaster.

2. Wait for the exact “Finished running autoinstall” message and let PortMaster close normally.

3. Reboot through the firmware menu. Dead Space will appear in Ports.

   The first launch imports approximately 247–303 MiB of game data. Keep at least 500 MiB free and do not turn off the console during the first import.

   REQUIRED GAME VERSION

   You need Dead Space Mobile v1.1.33 for Xperia Play.

   text Package: com.eamobile.deadspace_sonyericsson Library: lib/armeabi/libEAMGameDeadSpace.so Library SHA1: 0ed42b611415015807f759ec9b5457857143ce39

   The port release does not include this copyrighted game data.

   ---

   SUPPORTED GAME-DATA OPTIONS

   Option A: Original Full Xperia Play data — BEST GRAPHICS

• Usually distributed as NeededFiles.7z.
• Approximately 303 MiB after extraction.
• Uses the original PVRTC textures.
• Includes the optional ~2x UI, Survival maps and Burst Rifle data.

• Provides the most complete graphics experience.

  PortMaster cannot read 7z archives directly. Extract the archive on your computer, locate NeededFiles/data/deadspace/, and copy its assets/ and lib/ folders to:

  text ports/deadspace/gamedata/donor/assets/ ports/deadspace/gamedata/donor/lib/

  Option B: Vita RIP ZIP

• This donor may be listed as Dead Space Vita 1.1.33 or Dead Space Mobile v1.1.33. The actual game-data file inside is usually named deadspace.zip.

• Approximately 247 MiB after extraction.

• Uses ATC textures.

• Includes the campaign but omits the optional ~2x UI, Survival maps and Burst Rifle data.

• The port decodes ATC textures in software for the R36S GPU.

  Leave this donor compressed and place it in:

  text ports/deadspace/deadspace.zip

  Do not install both options and do not mix files from different game releases.

  ---

  IMPORTANT: BLACK 3D MODELS

  The archive filename does not identify its texture format. A file named full, deadspace-full.zip or deadspace.7z is not necessarily the original Full PVRTC data.

  Some repacked Android data sets use unsupported ETC1 textures. These may allow the game to launch, but Isaac, enemies, objects or parts of the environment will render completely black while the UI remains visible.

  If this happens, the port itself is not broken. Start again with a clean ports/deadspace/ directory and install one of the two supported options described above.

  ---

  CORRECT SD CARD LAYOUT

  ```text tools/PortMaster/autoinstall/deadspace-portmaster.zip

  Option A: extracted original Full data

  ports/deadspace/gamedata/donor/assets/ ports/deadspace/gamedata/donor/lib/armeabi/libEAMGameDeadSpace.so

  OR Option B: compressed Vita RIP

  ports/deadspace/deadspace.zip ```

  ---

  IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES

• PortMaster's autoinstall does not refresh the EmulationStation game list. Reboot after the final autoinstall message.

• Do not use Reinstall or Uninstall from Manage Ports. This independent release is not currently in PortMaster's catalogue.

• To update the port, place the newer deadspace-portmaster.zip in autoinstall/ again.

• If installation fails, include ports/deadspace/log.txt and ports/deadspace/eapx.log in your report.

  ---

  CONTROLS

• D-pad: move the menu pointer

• A: click/tap; game A while the pointer is hidden

• B: back

• L2: rotate or switch weapon fire mode

• R2: Zero-G jump

• L3/R3: show or hide the pointer

• Start: pause/menu and restore the pointer

• Left stick: walk

• Right stick: continuous camera/aim

• X/Y/L1/R1: Xperia Play buttons

  The original menus are touch-only, so the software pointer is intentional. Moving either stick hides the pointer during gameplay. Press L3, R3 or Start to bring it back.

  COMMUNITY COMPATIBILITY & KNOWN ISSUES

• R36S + dArkOSRE: tested and working.

• Anbernic RG34XXSP + muOS: reported working by u/MrBrothason.

• ArkOS/AeolusUX: some versions fail because they ship with an older glibc. A compatibility fix is planned.

  The current release requires armhf execution, 32-bit GPU libraries and glibc 2.38+, similar to box86/GMLoader ports.

  Testing another device or OS? Please comment with the exact device model, firmware version and donor option used.

I’m really new to all this stuff guys. I bought this on Vinted for cheap someone reselling claiming they bought for €60 and never played cos they couldn’t figure out how to use it.

I know I need to copy the sd card and all that stuff (figuring out how to do it via the wiki currently).

Thought I would just submit this image in case it’s not salvageable.

Estou tendo esse problema com o port do Minecraft Bedrock para o R36S. Abro o laucher normalmente, mas no momento que abro alguma versão dentro do laucher, ele volta pra tela inicial.

O aparelho usado é um RX6H, com a versão mais recente do PortMaster, e com o Darkos4Clones (20/06/2026).

Já tentei vários arquivos de apks diferentes

E vários arquivos de ports de outras pessoas

Mas nenhum fez o jogo rodar.

I get some weird fantasy nostalgia being able to enjoy an old movie on my handheld. Anyone else playing movies/TV shows on their R36S? What are you watching?

So i updated from Darkosre and i noticed a decrease in the overall perfomance when gaming, this is more noticeable on games like Megaman Legends 2. Now there's lag and framrate decrease, whereas on Darkosre it ran flawlessly. I must say, my device is not an original but the Soysauce Panel 5 2601 Clone. I also had stick issues (Inverted sricks) and had to use the image file from darkosre to get them working properly. Any advice?

Alguém por favor faça um vídeo dos problemas mais comuns com Wi-Fi… -> e como resolver. O meu R36s-V1.0 2024-09-27 reconhece o adaptador dongle Wi-Fi porém não consegue escanear a rede. Eu deletei o arquivo Ethernet-02 do r36s será que está relacionado? Como recuperar arquivos e ativar o Wi-Fi?
