Your R36H
Prefer playing with a controller? The R36H uses a familiar layout, with a 3.5″ IPS screen in the middle and controls on either side.

The horizontal design
Like a controller.
With a screen in the middle.
The R36H puts your hands on either side of the screen. The left stick sits high, the right stick low: an asymmetric layout you may already know.
The D-pad stays within thumb reach for platformers and arcade classics.

Your questions answered
Before your
first game.
What is the difference between R36H and R36S?
The R36H is horizontal, with controls on either side of the screen. The R36S is vertical. Both use the RK3326 platform and a 3.5″ 640 × 480-pixel screen, so the main difference is how you hold them.
Does the R36H run ArkOS?
This model is offered with ArkOS 2 on Linux. For updates, use a system image suited to the R36H and its hardware revision.
What kinds of games can it emulate?
The RK3326 platform suits 8-bit and 16-bit consoles and many PlayStation games. N64, PSP and Dreamcast performance varies with the game and settings. Perfect performance in every game is not guaranteed.
64 or 128 GB: what changes?
128 GB provides twice the nominal capacity of 64 GB. It holds more files without changing performance. The number of games depends on file size.
Do the pictures show my chosen colour?
The visuals show the white model in different settings. Other colours are identified in the selector and in your cart. The scenes shown on the screens are illustrations.
