20251011: There are R46H - mine - where WiFi isn't working at all. I used same cable/dongle that's working on R36S flawlessly. I bought the R46H from this store. >>> Video

Firmware[edit]
StockOS[edit]
Boot partition "R46H-OS 64GB" files: ⬇️ R46H-OS BOOT partition files
Stock OS firmware image: ⬇️ R46H 测试卡 16G .img (14.44 GB)
Scraper is not working (restarts EmulationStation). Controls in PPSSPP emulator are messed up.
Game Console Factory Test Suite[edit]
This tool can be found on the stock OS under OPTIONS. It includes following tests:
- System Information
- Battery Test
- Controller Test (joystick and button test)
- Multiple Screen Color Tests
- Screen Brightness Test
- Speaker Volume Test
- Aging Test (time can be set in hours - video of the repeating test sequence is below)
On ArkOS R3XS this tool only partially works after installing a few required files. Device + SoC does not get detected, Speaker Test and Aging Test are not working, but the other tests work fine. Here are the packages you need to install via ssh to start the tool (copied from ChatGPT after some troubleshooting).
sudo apt update
sudo apt install \
libqt5core5a \
libqt5gui5 \
libqt5widgets5 \
libqt5multimedia5 \
libqt5multimediawidgets5 \
libqt5multimedia5-plugins \
libqt5gamepad5 \
libqt5network5 \

libqt5xml5
ArkOS[edit]
Use the RG351MP version. Mirror: MediaFire.
Has better compatibility than ArkOS - R3XS. Everything is working fine including Nintendo DS games.
Boots fine after changing the boot.ini file and adding the gameconsole_linux.dtb from the stock SD card. These files are available here: ⬇️ R46H-OS 64GB @MediaFire
For R46H models with built-in Wi-Fi, also copy the gameconsole.dtb file from the stock SD card to the boot partition and rename it to rg351mp-kernel.dtb.
