Just to clarify. Out of box, yes it’s not the OG or “real”one. But you can easily flash a new SD card with ARCos and have it be “real” the console doesn’t really matter it’s what type of operation system it comes with. In the end it doesn’t really matter if you want to fully customize your console and run the latest versions of arcos
@ I’m trying to understand what you mean. You can homebrew any console so I’m not sure what you are trying to say. The fake one runs off an sd card still so you just replace the entire operating system on the sd card with Rufus
Eu ia comprando um falso caro ainda 😂 consegui cancelar a tempo, depois de ver esse vídeo e os comentários da própria Loja AliExpress que eu ia comprar 😂
I just did a fresh install with new Arkos on the “fake” .. Definitely worked just fine . Also my battery comes out and the back of my battery has something on it. Not sure if you video is true… Also mine comes on like the real one.
Hi there, thank you for the very helpful video, I bought mine off eBay, the operating system seems fine, but there’s no sticker on the back and the battery is the same as the fake one in your video…confusing.
I just received one for christmas and i got the fake one, can i somehow solve it? The fake one is really strange in the settings, i cant put favorite in the games. And i wanted to instal my own rooms and to put stuff like starew valley but with this fake one i dont know how to do it
Ok, wierd. Mine came in the real correct box, boots up correctly, has both chips, battery comes out fine, DS games change size, and has a Options menu, but it has the fake one's sticker on the back. Guess it's real. Got mine from a seller on Whatnot for $20.
Mine is half right. It has the right it says game console on the top like the fake one but the rest of the sticker looks like the real one. The small round sticker doesnt match the fake and not really the real.
Graças ao seu vídeo, consegui cancelar antes que enviassem (pela AliExpress). Depois percebi que o R36S que eu estava encomendando, é basicamente um clone. Ele tem traseira bem parecida com o console original que você exibiu, mas o sistema operacional é idêntico ao console Fake que você exibiu.
Comprei o meu na loja boyhom no Aliexpress, geralmente eles vendem original mas tem chance de vir falso tb.. acho que ta igual a cartão de memória, questão de sorte mesmo
@@guilhermebills em falar no cartão SD. Ainda não comprei, vou comprar on-line, pois dizem também que há chance de dar incompatibilidade. Você comprou ou usa qual Cartão?
They changed the sticker, it's more like the one on your clone. So that you can't take as an indicator anymore. Just got mine today, it's definitely a real one, everything matches, but the sticker is different for a while now, yours must be a early real r36s, hence the older style sticker
Hi Sir, I have a question for you. I recently got an R36S, and I was wondering if it’s a copy or an original. Then I saw your video, and now I’m confused. When I turn on my R36S, it boots into ArkOS 2.0, but there’s also a red logo that appears with it. I noticed in your video that the copy version doesn’t show an ArkOS screen. Can you help me figure out if mine is original or a copy?
@GangsTR. Yeah that's normal, you mean that red god of war logo with white writing r36s, that's fine mine does that too, the important thing is that there is a black screen, with arkos 2.0 in small writing in the middle of that black screen.

Arrived. I bought a fake. The FN button is completely unresponsive. Every time I change games, I have to press the reset button (R) under the power button on the side. The buttons are good and the screen is surprisingly good🤣
I don’t believe there are “clones”. They are all generic and nonbranded. None of the R36S models have WiFi. And I’m pretty sure they all have the same CPU, the RockChip 3226.
The only hardware differences are between manufacturing differences in the LCD panels. Software wise , there may differences in firmware .. but all can be upgraded to RockNix
For sum reason I’m getting blocked from commenting but hopefully this one gets through check my other comment and you’ll find how to get that pesky emuelec software bs gone lol hello ARKOS
I hope this helps 🎉 link in the description for everyone asking where to get it no guarantee though
It does help indeed, thanks for the good work!
I have just bought one from from Amazon. Now I am terrified! 🤣

No because the software is in the chip on the fake one so if you put arkos on the SD card it won't work anymore

Hello have a look on Reddit if you don't understand thanks for watching my video@@darksaezuru
@@darksaezurushe’s right if you open it up and compare a real one
I got a R36S for Christmas today, just checked and I have a real one!!!
@@n.ova13 cool hope you had a nice Christmas
Please give me a genuine purchase link. I bought it yesterday. It may be fake.😂
@yang62696 In the discretion no guarantee but I got mine from it
@@yang62696 I said for Christmas, not off Temu.
Comparing your consoles to mine, I know mine's fake. But the OS on mine runs just like on the real one.
Thank you! almost bought a fake one, because of the price haha.
Glad to help

Thanks for watching but if you have stuff on the battery then you have a real one
how did you do it?
Oh no I just bought one on Aliexpress, hope it's the real thing.
I bought one at aliexpress yesterday, too😂
I bought the white one on ali couple weeks ago and it's real .. good luck
i think the ones on ali is real and the ones on Amazon are fake
Also is it meant to have two SD cards? I’ve only got the 64GB card on the right.
@@danielshields7398 I don't think that matters if it has two SD cards or not mine has only one

Which one should I get off Amazon?

I need help. Do you think you could make a backup of the fake, make an ISO and upload it?
Digite no google: r36s wiki miraheze
Yes definitely will make a backup. And post it on my TH-cam channel
How to tell this when they don't have detailed pics on ebay?

I spelt the comment wrong
@@Daniel-zw1yl not sure sorry have a look on Reddit
Its the same chipset right? Isnt there cfw that they can both run to make it not matter?
No it's the k36 chip set
Are ali express ones fake? Where can we buy real ones?
@@scozass3478 in the description I got mine from but no guarantee
Sorry what's the difference between fake and real ? Performance?
The fake one has a k36 chip so may not be able to run all the games plus the software is on the chip not the SD card
Mine looks like the fake and I literally just did a fresh install on it. Everything was on the card 🤔
did it come installed with Arkos or emuelec? @@honeybee7197
so what website did you buy the real one from? can we have a link please
it is in the description
iv bought one but its not real and i dunno how to make it boot i need help
@@nightfire9748 how can I help Wats your problem

Hi, I have an orange R36S 64GB. Everything matches the original, but the battery is 3000mAh.
@@multi-ore yes I think it is fine
So can't run ArkOS means it's a fake then?....I got myself one unfortunately but can't it be changed??
No I tried to change it you can't it is built in to the motherboard
No it has the software built-in not on the tf card
stikers and everything except for the battery is it fake?
From the research I have done and 100 others yes
Any link guys to buy a real one?

That's ok some of them do that if you have the newest arkos mine does that to.

@@GangsTR. Press start and you can see the settings.

Just ordered one yesterday, Hoping its real
Good luck, Yesman! And no, tape recording is NOT killing music. 😁
Lets hope if not you can still play with it

Need to update retroarch hoykeys and enable it
@gsharrock how?
I might be cooked
Thank you very much ✌️😎
No problem 👍
So I apparently have the knock off does that mean I cannot add any more ROMs
Yes you can add ROMs but you can not add arkos but I recemend you duplicate your SD card look on TH-cam for a guide to do so
How is it fake? I mean does it not work or is it less powerful?
It is Less powerful than the real and may not play all games you want it to. and no WiFi and overall not as good.
I don’t believe there are “clones”. They are all generic and nonbranded. None of the R36S models have WiFi. And I’m pretty sure they all have the same CPU, the RockChip 3226.
The only hardware differences are between manufacturing differences in the LCD panels. Software wise , there may differences in firmware .. but all can be upgraded to RockNix
It can't run ark os it has a built in software and you can't change it via tf card. you would need to replace the chips on the board.
one on the rightside is fake because it runs on emuElec
Yes I said in the video thanks for watching
For sum reason I’m getting blocked from commenting but hopefully this one gets through check my other comment and you’ll find how to get that pesky emuelec software bs gone lol hello ARKOS
