R36S, the popular vertical retro console at super price

Good price for the R36S retro console, one of the bestsellers on AliExpress currently, and that stands out for its good quality/price ratio.

As you can see, this is a console in vertical format governed by the Rockchip RK3326 processor and Linux as OS, to squeeze the most out of this chip that can move even PSP titles. A retro laptop with a configuration quite similar to that found in the Powkiddy RGB20S, as we find the same processor and a 3.5″ screen with the same resolution. This console is compatible with Linux ROCKNIX and we can install ports of PC games with PortMaster such as Celeste, Stardew Valley or Half Life.

As operating system we have a 64 GB micro SD full of thousands of games and with a distribution of ArkOS with more than 20 emulators. Of its controls highlight, its 4 rear triggers and two front sticks located in the lower part of the console.
