It's very important that the ROMs you download are in Spanish if you want to enjoy the game in that language.
Step 2: Insert the MicroSD Card into your PC
Remove the MicroSD card from the console and insert it into a card reader connected to your PC. It's recommended to perform a full backup before making any changes.
Step 3: Locating games (ROMs)
Inside the MicroSD card, we are going to focus on the partition called EASYROMS.
Once inside we can find a folder for each available emulator.
Place your games in their corresponding folder, for example if you want to add PlayStation 1 games, copy the files into the PSX folder.
Below you can see a list with the name of each folder according to the emulator you want to use in case you are not clear:

Step 4: Transfer the Files
Copy and paste the ROM files from your PC to the corresponding folders inside the MicroSD.
Following the example, if we want to use the PlayStation emulator, we will copy our game in .BIN and .CUE format to the PSX folder.
Step 5: Insert the MicroSD into the Console
Once you've transferred all your files, safely eject the MicroSD card from your computer and insert it into the corresponding slot on the R36S console.
Step 6: Access the Games
Turn on your R36S console and navigate the main menu until you find the emulators section. From there, select the desired console and search for the game you added.
If the ROM is in good condition and in the correct format, you should be able to boot it and enjoy the game in Spanish without any issues.
And that's it! Now you can enjoy your favorite games in Spanish on your R36S console .
