The Ultimate Retro Experience in Your PocketThe 2BlueBox R36S is not just another emulator; it is the definitive budget r36s handheld for 2024. We have customised this device to offer the perfect balance between nostalgia and modern performance.
- Professional Grade Display:
The crown jewel is the 3.5-inch IPS OCA Full Lamination screen. With a
640x480 resolution, it offers pixel-perfect integer scaling for retro
games. No stretching, no washing out—just vibrant colours and deep
blacks. - Powerful R36S CPU: Under the hood lies the Rockchip RK3326 (Quad-Core Cortex-A35 up to 1.5GHz). Unlike cheaper clones, this r36s cpu handles 3D emulation (N64, PSP, PS1) with significantly better frame rates.
- Optimised Linux System: Running on the open-source ArkOS, the linux system provides a stable, lag-free interface. It supports save states, load states, and "favourite" game sorting.
- Massive Library: The included 64GB card unlocks a massive r36s games list. It’s essentially a Gameboy with 15000 games inside. Supported emulators include: PSP, PS1, N64, DC, SS, GBA, GBC, GB, SFC, FC, MD, MAME, CAPCOM, CPS1/2/3, and NeoGeo.
- Ergonomic Design: Features dual 3D analogue sticks (Hall Effect style feel) and clicky L1/L2 R1/R2 shoulder buttons for comfortable, extended r36s gaming sessions.

Quick Start Guide for the R36S Console
- Power On: Press and hold the power button on the right side for 3 seconds. The Linux system will boot up (approx. 15 seconds).
- Navigation: Use the D-Pad to scroll through consoles. Press 'A' to enter a console's game list. Press 'B' to go back.
- Pro Tip - Save & Load: In most emulators (RetroArch), press [Fn] + [X] to bring up the Quick Menu. From here, you can Save State or Load State instantly. Never lose progress in Contra again!
- Exiting a Game: Press [Fn] + [Start] twice to quit the game and return to the main menu.
- Important - Safe Shutdown: Do not just hold the power button to turn off.Correct method: Press [Start] on the main menu -> Select "Quit" -> "Shutdown System". This protects the SD card data on your r36s game console from corruption.
- Charging: Use the provided USB-C cable (ensure you use the "DC" port, not the OTG port). Note: Use a 5V/1A or 5V/2A charger. Do not use high-wattage fast chargers as they may not be recognised.

Honestly, I was worried the screen would be dim, but this IPS display is crisp as! Been playing Metroid on the train from Parramatta all week. Fits right in my pocket. Best r36s handheld for the price, hands down.

Bought this for the hubby but I've been hogging it! It really is like a Gameboy with 15000 games inside. No setup needed, just turned it on and found Crash Bandicoot instantly. Shipping to Brisbane was only 6 days. Cheers 2Bluebox!

Surprisingly solid build quality. The Linux system
runs PS1 games perfectly without lag. If you're on the fence, just get
it. Good to see a store with clear tracking updates unlike the other
dodgier sites.
