I need to replace the back and front housing of my R36S because the screw mounting points on both the back and front parts are broken.

I wrote a bash script that scans your R36S EASYROMS folder and auto-downloads missing box art/title/snaps from libretro-thumbnails

Got tired of manually scraping art for every system on my R36S, so I wrote a bash script that does it for you. Point it at your EASYROMS partition and it:

  • Scans every system folder, figures out what's missing (skips anything that already has art)
  • Pulls boxart, title screens, and in-game snaps from the libretro-thumbnails repo
  • Handles MAME/arcade folders specially — translates short ROM codes (dino.zip) into the full names libretro-thumbnails actually uses (Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (World 930201))
  • Falls back to fuzzy matching for renamed/non-standard ROM filenames that don't match exactly
  • Auto-updates each system's gamelist.xml so EmulationStation picks the new art up immediately — without touching any metadata you already have
  • Logs anything it couldn't find (and anything it fuzzy-matched, so you can double check those)

It's just plain bash + curl, no dependencies besides python3 (only needed for the gamelist/MAME-name/fuzzy bits — straight image downloads work without it). Runs from a PC with the card mounted, or directly on-device over SSH.

Also ported it to PowerShell/.bat for anyone on Windows who wants the same thing without WSL.

Happy to share the script if anyone wants it — let me know what systems you're running so I can make sure the folder mapping covers you (it's got ~100 systems mapped already but ArkOS folder naming is all over the place).

R36S-V20 2025-05-18/(R36S-V20 2025-05-18 2541 or clone type3 panel1)

DarkOSRE Beta has a sound issue — audio doesn't work until I put the device to sleep and wake it up again.

​

DarkOS4Clone has working audio, but the sound quality is poor and the volume is very low.

​

Arch-R has a working display, but neither the sound nor the joystick works. I also tried the inverted version, but had no luck.

​

Right now I'm using DarkOSRE with the DarkOS4Clone DTB and Image files (renamed and replaced the original DarkOSRE ones). It works better, but I'm still not satisfied with the sound.

​

​

Any suggestions???
