How to clear the cache of R36S console?

The cache clearing method of the R36S console varies according to the system and storage mode. The following are the common clearing methods:

1. Clear the emulator cache

• RetroArch Emulator: After entering the game, press SELECT + X to call up the shortcut menu, select “Options” → “Save Game Options File”, you can save the current Settings and clean up part of the cache. If you want to completely clean up, you can delete the cache files of the corresponding emulator (such as the cache files under the ppsspp folder) in the gamedata folder of the memory card.

• Other simulators: Some simulators support manual cache cleaning in the Settings, such as finding the “Settings” → “Storage” → “Clear Cache” option in the simulator menu.

2. Clear the System Cache

• Through the file manager: Enter the system file manager, find the cache folder under the root directory of the memory card (usually located in the SD card or card2 partition), and delete the cached files.

• Use system tools: Some system modifications (such as the patch for Zhai Zhongzhai R36S) may integrate cache cleaning tools. You can find the “Clear Cache” function in the system Settings or tool menu.

3. Clear Junk Files from Memory Cards

• Delete useless files: Check for residual game installation files, temporary files, or duplicate files on the memory card and manually delete them to free up space.

• Format the memory card: If the memory card space is severely insufficient and the cache problem occurs frequently, you can consider formatting the memory card, but important data should be backed up in advance.

Matters Need Attention ：

• It is recommended to back up important game archives and configuration files before clearing the cache.

• If you use the magic modification system or non-official firmware, you should operate carefully to avoid system file deletion and equipment failure.

• Some cache files may be related to game performance, and excessive cleaning may affect the loading speed or stability of the game.
