Revo K101+ Crystal Editions


Okay, that's weird, in that Matzu reports that Yoshi's Universal Gravitation doesn't work due to the tilt sensor, and as far as I can tell, Warioware Twisted uses the same sensor.

Putting a ROM of one of those games on the K-card obviously wont work, but the cartridges work just like on GBA, since it's a hardware clone

Edit: after reading Matzu's post it seems like he was using a cartridge. I don't know wario ware twisted would work but not gravitation

Edit 2: Matzu also says Zelda 1 didn't work, but the person who wrote that review said it worked with some slowdowns

The back and the K-Card, which is from a crystal blue version it looks like.

The screen looks very nice, 2x resolution on left stretch to screen size on right. It's not on full brightness in the picture.

The K-Card came with some homebrew gba ROMs on it, but I'm playing A Link to the Past from the cartridge.
The buttons and D-Pad work nicely but they have a tendency to stick down temporarily, you can still push them though and I suspect with a little more wear it wont be a problem.
It's the most annoying with the D-pad, sometimes when I go from right to down, for example right will stick for a bit.
I'm guessing this is just due to the fact that the buttons and d-pad are custom, hopefully with a little use they'll stop sticking.

Update: I tryed my version of The Legend of Zelda NES Classics cartridge and it works fine.
Well fine as in it starts and plays, it does have frequent slow downs in certain areas.

That double line is part of the original (Japanese) Famicom controller design, so I believe it to be based on that, as is the 8bitdo FC-30 pro controller in one of the photos. I believe the silvery gold of the FC-30 pro is closer to the original metal colour, although the red plastic of the K101+ is more evident. Neither of them quite seem to have the redness of the original red plastic quite right though.

The original line of game&watch uses similar colours, though no double line, being of a similar vintage to the Famicom. Perhaps the bright gold of the K101+ is actually more like what they were going for, but limitations of plastic films back then meant they could only manage a slightly golden silver.
 
Hi all :)

Slightly off-topic: unfortunately that Revo K101+ won't run classical Game Boy games natively, right ?

Do you guys know of good / modern Game Boy clones that @EvilDragon could sell in his shop ?

Hi all :)

@FIQ and @Klumpen : I think you're getting me wrong guys. I meant original Game Boy games, not NES games ported to GBA...

If I understand correctly, the Revo K101+ is capable of running Game Boy games, but only through emulation...

So my question is: are there any GB / GBC only clones around that @EvilDragon could sell in his shop ?

Cheers, Magic Sam
