🌍 Region-Free Gaming

Unlike original consoles, the R36S is region-free, meaning you can play games from any country — Japan, USA, or Europe — without compatibility issues.

The device automatically detects and adjusts region settings for most titles.

 

🔧 Can You Add Modern Games?

While the R36S is mainly a retro gaming console, it can also run:

Open-source ports (like Doom, Quake, Cave Story)

Fan-made indie titles designed for retro emulators

Custom collections like Capcom Packs, Sega Mixes, or RPG Bundles

If your model includes Wi-Fi, you can even transfer and update your ROMs wirelessly via FTP mode.

 

🕹️ Expandable Storage

Want to double your library?

You can upgrade to a 256GB or 512GB microSD card to store:

Full PlayStation libraries

Complete SNES/GBA collections

Thousands of additional arcade titles

Once inserted, the R36S automatically detects the new card and updates your game list.
