How to Put ROMs in R36S:
To play your favorite retro games on the R36S, you’ll need to load ROMs (game files) onto the device. Here's how you can do it:
1. Prepare the ROM Files:
-
Download ROMs: You can find ROMs for retro games from various online sources. Make sure you are downloading them legally—only download ROMs for games you own, as downloading copyrighted material without permission is illegal in some countries.
-
Extract the files (if necessary): Some ROMs come in ZIP or other compressed formats. You may need to extract them using a file manager or unzipping tool on your computer or mobile device.
2. Transfer ROMs to R36S:
You have several options for transferring ROMs onto the R36S:
-
Via MicroSD Card:
- Insert your microSD card into your computer (using a card reader if necessary).
- Create a folder on the SD card: On the microSD card, create a folder for your games (e.g., "ROMs" or "Games").
- Copy the ROM files: Move the downloaded ROM files into the appropriate folder on the SD card.
- Insert the microSD card into your R36S: Once the transfer is complete, place the microSD card back into your R36S handheld console.
-
Via USB Cable:
- Connect your R36S to your computer using the provided USB cable.
- After the device is connected, it should appear as a removable drive on your computer.
- Open the R36S drive and create a folder to store your ROMs (e.g., "Games" or "ROMs").
- Drag and drop your ROM files into this folder.
- Safely eject your R36S from your computer and disconnect the USB cable.
3. Access ROMs in R36S:
- Power on your R36S and navigate to the emulator interface.
- Select the appropriate emulator for the type of ROM you want to play (e.g., NES, SNES, Sega Genesis).
- The device should automatically detect and display the ROMs you've transferred to the SD card or internal storage.
- Choose the ROM you want to play, and enjoy the game!
4. Add ROMs Manually (Optional):
If you want to organize your ROMs by console or game type:
- Create subfolders inside the "ROMs" or "Games" folder (e.g., "NES", "SNES", "Genesis") to keep things organized.
- When you open the emulator, it will show all the ROMs from each respective folder.
