More Information
Retro Handhelds Review: https://retrohandhelds.gg/r36h-hands-on/
The R36H is a horizontal version of the R36S with Display Panel 4 (V5) version. The only real difference is the lack of a FN button. For setup guides and other stuff like themes or bootlogos you should check out the extensive R36S Wiki.

Firmware
The R36XX uses the Panel 4 (V5) version from the R36S, so choose your firmware and DTB version accordingly.
AmberELEC
- Change dtb file on the boot partition to this: https://github.com/tech4bot/r35s/tree/main/new_displays/panel4
ArkOS and ArkOS - R3XS
- Choose R36H/R33S as the device type in the Options Menu (for fixing the missing FN hotkey button)
- Reconfiguring "Hotkey" on R36H for ArkOS
ROCKNIX
- The R36H is not officially supported, but the R36S is officially supported. The R36S image works on the R36H. https://github.com/ROCKNIX/distribution/releases
- Once you write the Rocknix image to an SD card, open the ROCKNIX partition, create a folder named "overlays" and copy the correct dtbo file for your screen to the overlays folder. Then rename the dtb file to "mipi-panel.dtbo"
- For more information on the dtbo file, see the Rocknix doc page for the R36S: https://rocknix.org/devices/unbranded/game-console-r35s-r36s/#new-displays-r36s-of-year-2024
