The Ultimate GBA Clone Console | Revo K101 Plus Review

The Revo K101 Plus is a big improvement on the original K101, but does it stack up compared to the official Game Boy Advance and other GBA-capable systems? Alex is on the case as he reviews the console in detail, stopping at nothing to see what this GBA clone console has to offer.

Nintendo should have never discontinued the game boy line of hand helds.

Someone made a clone of my favourite handheld and named it after me?
Lol! :O

I've never played in my GBA games on original GBA/GBA SP/GBA Micro handheld, but comparing my impressions on DS Lite and Revo K101+, I would say, that Revo wins in this comparison. Bigger screen, juicy colors and working multiplayer feature (via link cable) - yes, I know that probably most people would say, that controller is not something splendid (especially D-Pad - however I've played on white version of Revo K101+, so it's a bit earlier version), but for me it's decent and functional, I can't say that I'm playing worser in any GBA game I've played earlier on DS Lite.

In case of emulation capabilities of this device I would recommend using only GBA (well, that was obvious :P), GB/GBC and NES emulation.Rest of them are running terrible (seriously, I don't understand, why in next version of Revo there are still emulators which weren't working too well earlier).

However, the price... Well, there are already other GBA clones, some of them are really good, and even the good one is obtainable for half of the price of Revo K101+. Of course Revo has this nice feature with K-Card and emulators (most are terrible, only NES and GBC are acceptable), but if you're going to play only/mostly in GBA games, then well, you should take it into consideration, that there are cheaper (and still decent) clones.

I have one. It's a great hardware clone. The Revo K card is e sy to use. Just load the roms and it automatically sorts them for you. It doesn't support save states though.

Funny thing is, these days I complain about gaming things, but back in the day I used to hold flashlight between my teeth playing my gameboy when I was on road trips

I just got this for Christmas, one thing I'm wondering is how do you get the roms on the sd card? Plus, can you technically use a 64gb so card?

That Golden Sun music playing in the background LOL,
Couldn't mistake it anywhere else :] thanks for the memories.

[wedgedtriangle]

Has anyone ever told you your sound-card works perfectly?

[GuardYourFlanks]

My favorite version of the GBA is the Micro... only my battery is beginning to fail me. I decided to give this handheld a shot. I ordered it earlier this week and am just waiting for them to restock.

Does the Crystal Blue Revo K 101 come with the same stuff in the box as the other colors? Just wondering as I see multiple listing for the same handheld there.

[jaywest]

If this thing had better emulation for the other systems, I'd definitely get it.

[Bob_Beaky]

How fast is the screen refresh? Is there any ghosting or stuttering with it? :)

[megamonstercookies]

where'd you get those art prints??

[mayravixx]

This handheld + Minish Cap = a lot of time I'll be spending alone.

[pearljam]

Where should I go to play Master System ROMs on a handheld device?

[timika]

Nice vidéo ! No savestates issues ? Persons had problems, is it resolved with a new firmware ?

[kat.]

Watching in 2018 and felt the need to comment because I loved the Golden Sun soundtrack playing in the background lol 👏🏼😆

[ClaerisGames]

Interesting that it has a link port. Can you clip the gamecube cable to it? This could solve my little Four Swords Adventures problem

[MrJmmy]

I got a hardware clone GBA sp and it cost 51nzd works great also has built in games

"Goes beyond all that nintendo can offer in its official capacity" <- You can't be serious. Advance SP 101 offers native play for gb, gbc and gba, better size, portability and buttons... and heck, if you just want gba games... el ds lite is cheap as hell, and plays them wonderfully.
