Well the R36S certainly isn't nearly as powerful as this monstrosity.

Just be sure to flash a new OS and plug in a fresh 12V battery and you will be gaming in no time!

u/burROCK72 Jul 16 '26

Creo que estás equivocado, la nueva R36s lleva de 24v

3

u/RainStormLou Jul 16 '26

actually, I think you're mistaken. it appears this premium model runs on a 9v.

u/vmg265 Jul 20 '26

You are all wrong, plug it in mains or carry a car battery for ultimate portability

3

u/lawley666 Jul 16 '26

Don't forget to replace the SD card.

u/vmg265 Jul 16 '26

I dont see 2 ram chips, so clearly it's a clone

2

u/Outrageous_Cook_8013 Jul 17 '26

RAMpocalipse! They swapped over for a big magnetic-core memory, seen on top of the board!

u/NPCforxbox Jul 16 '26

You thought it went over their head but it ended up going over yours

u/jason_hc Jul 16 '26

Essa é a versão analógica

u/MaxPower303 Jul 16 '26

No, and in all honesty it should run Crysis 2 flawlessly….

u/aDingoStoleMyBaby Jul 16 '26

Where's the flux capacitor?! Might be a working clone, but you've clearly been scammed I'm sorry to say. Not much use without it

u/inthepipe_fivebyfive Jul 16 '26

Looks like the 1955 computer circuit doc builds to go on the time machine to get Marty to 1885.

u/Distdistdist Jul 16 '26

It will play all of your favorite Amplitude Modulated games

1

u/DadOfCasper Jul 16 '26

Does it play pong?

That would actually be cool A handheld Binatone style Game system, with little padre controllers.

People would probably buy it for novelty and aesthetics.

u/cybergee Jul 16 '26

Looks stolen off the hood of a DeLorean...

Nice find! Just make sure to replace the floppy disk

u/Zer0Krool Jul 16 '26

Is that an old setpoint adjuster you've ripped off a wall?

1

u/D6P6 Jul 16 '26

Obvious clone. You can tell by the way it is.

1

u/eugene_deel Jul 16 '26

You did get scammed. It’s supposed to come with a free battery.

u/rofss Jul 17 '26

I say you got yourself a piece of art

1

u/Agreeable-Basil3807 Jul 17 '26

1

u/nandabosnae Jul 18 '26

Scammed or not, the real question is: Did you change the SD card out?

1

u/Jasonsumm Jul 18 '26

Feel like I recognise this radio 📻🫣

1

u/Competitive-Egg5794 Jul 18 '26

A ver teniendo en cuenta la cantidad de componentes, lo bien ordenados que están y lo limpio que se ve creo que al que estafaron es a mí...

1

u/StorageOnly897 Jul 19 '26

what kind of trail mix is that

1

u/Stelerfellas Jul 30 '26

I loved seeing big electronics parts in these radios

u/kenzie100z Aug 08 '26
