Disassembly
Mainboard
R46H vs RG40XX H
Sorry for the poor photo lighting quality.
More Information
It has a 4-inch display. The advertised 4.2-inch size is incorrect.
Videos
R46H promo video from Alibaba claims that the aspect ratio is 3:2, but the 1024x768 resolution is 4:3. It also has built-in wifi according to this video.
Firmware
StockOS
Boot partition "R46H-OS 64GB" files: ⬇️ MediaFire
Scraper is not working (restarts EmulationStation). Controls in PPSSPP emulator are messed up.
Game Console Factory Test Suite
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 \
libqt5concurrent5 \
libqt5xml5
ArkOS
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
