Play the games you grew up with on a 3.5-inch IPS screen that shows classic pixels sharply. The R36S runs 21 emulators from a single TF card, so one pocket-sized device covers the whole shelf. A 3500mAh battery rated for up to 8 hours keeps the commute and the couch both on the same library.
Portable retro handheld with 21 emulators and a bright HD screen for classic gaming on the go
Solves
- Needing many separate retro consoles
- Short play time on the go
- Hard-to-see small game screens
Your whole retro arcade, in your pocket, ready for any trip
Stop squinting at tiny screens and dead batteries on the train. The R36S turns scattered classics into one bright, 21-emulator handheld you can play anywhere.
Built for the way retro games should feel
A screen you can actually see
The 3.5-inch IPS panel runs at 640x480 and gives classic games a bright, clear image. Pixel art stays sharp and racing games look vivid, which a cramped phone screen rarely manages on a train. You spend the session looking at the game, not hunting for the picture.
Play longer, charge simpler
The built-in 3500mAh polymer battery is rated for up to 8 hours from a full charge. It charges through a Type-C port, so the cable you already own does the job. The battery is detachable, and the shell is clear enough to see the parts inside.
Controls that feel right
Dual analog sticks sit beside a D-pad, ABXY face buttons, shoulder buttons and Select and Start. That layout gives classic 2D games and 3D titles a proper controller feel, so you are not thumbing a touch screen. Plug in earphones through the 3.5mm jack for quiet play on the move.
Four numbers that matter on the train

Insert your own TF card, sized from 16G to 256G, with the emulator files and games you want to play.
- 3Power on and pick a system
Turn it on, open ArkOS 2.0 and choose one of the 21 emulators from the menu.
- 4Press start
Use the analog sticks, D-pad and ABXY buttons to play. Save and load keep your place between sessions.
The games you love are stuck in a box
The games you miss are stuck in a box
Somewhere in a closet sits the console that got you through long summers. Each one only plays its own library, and hauling them all on a trip is out of the question. Phone emulation looks fine on paper, but touch controls and glare get in the way fast, and the battery drains before the level ends.
One bright screen, twenty-one worlds
The R36S runs ArkOS 2.0 and covers 21 emulators, from PS1 and PSP to GBA and Mega Drive. A 3.5-inch IPS panel at 640x480 shows the pixels crisply, and the dual analog sticks with ABXY buttons give you real controls in place of a glass slab. One device does the job of the whole shelf.
Play from the train to the couch
The 3500mAh battery is rated for up to 8 hours from a full charge, which covers a long commute and then some. Charge it over Type-C, slip it in a bag, and pick up the same save where you left off on the couch. Your library lives on a TF card you control, so the device goes wherever your day does.

Questions and answers
How do I load games onto the R36S?
w
Wanelo · seller
Games go on a TF card that you insert into the side slot. The handheld runs its 21 emulators from that card, so you load the files you own and swap cards whenever you like. Keep a backup copy of your library on a computer.
Are the 3.5-inch screen and buttons comfortable for long sessions?
w
Wanelo · seller
The 640x480 IPS screen is sized for handheld play, and the analog sticks, D-pad and ABXY buttons sit where your thumbs already rest. Most players settle in within a session or two. Small buttons do take a little getting used to on marathon runs.
How does it compare to playing retro games on my phone?
w
Wanelo · seller
A phone asks you to play on glass, with touch controls and glare, and it drains quickly when notifications keep firing. The R36S gives you physical buttons, a dedicated screen and a 3500mAh battery rated for up to 8 hours from full charge.
What do the 21 emulators cover?
w
Wanelo · seller
The lineup includes PS1, PSP, GBA and Mega Drive, among 21 systems in total. One device replaces a shelf of single-system consoles, so you spend the money once instead of buying each machine separately.
How long does the battery last and how do I charge it?
w
Wanelo · seller
The built-in 3500mAh polymer battery is rated for up to 8 hours from a full charge. Charge it over the Type-C port. The battery is detachable and the shell is transparent, so you can see the parts inside.
