R36MAX 2 Retro Handheld Games Console - 4.5 inch IPS Screen, Open Source Linux

Relive the Golden Age of Gaming — Anywhere You Go

Some games never get old. The R36MAX 2 is a pocket-sized open-source handheld built for players who know exactly what they're looking for — a large, vivid screen, responsive dual analogue controls, and a platform that supports the formats you grew up with. GB, GBA, SNES, Mega Drive, PS1, N64 and more — the R36MAX 2 is ready for all of them.

Slip it in your pocket on the commute. Pick it up on the sofa. Take it on holiday. With up to 6 hours of battery life and a 128GB TF card included in the box, there's plenty of room to build your library and plenty of charge to enjoy it.

Why the R36MAX 2 stands out

• 4.5 inch full-lamination IPS display — 1024 x 768 resolution with vivid colours and sharp detail. Noticeably larger than the 3.5" screens on most budget handhelds.
• 128GB TF card included — double the storage of comparable consoles. Supports up to 256GB.
• Dual analogue joysticks with RGB lighting — proper analogue control for 3D-era titles, with satisfying RGB ring effects that pulse as you play.
• Open-source Linux OS — full emulator support across a wide range of classic gaming formats. Customisable, community-supported, and constantly improving.
• Wi-Fi built in — connect to your network for online features, updates, and more.
• 4000mAh battery — up to 6 hours per charge, fully recharged in around 2 hours via USB-C.
• Built-in speaker and 3.5mm headphone jack — play out loud or plug in for private sessions.
• Pocket-sized and lightweight — genuinely portable, not just technically portable.
