Man, I'm dying to buy one of these prototypes. I can't find anyone in existence on the internet who's actually in possession of one of these at the moment. I have deep pockets and I'm looking to make a serious offer to someone who has a WORKING prototype.

They made a prototype of the first portable with a K1 processor in it, but it's worth a fortune wherever it ended up. I just have a retail unit that was given to the Tegra 4 engineers as a "thank you" for working on the project. (My step-dad worked on the chip, not me)
I got one K1 prototype with 4gb of ram.

Everything is working on it, when i got it, it had a google account logged in, i performed a factory reset, and have not linked another one, so cant confirm that play store is still working.


Hey I've had a shield K1 prototype 720p screen for ages View attachment 139455

Mine is exactly that one, however mine is clocked as 2.5ghz and the device name is "Nvidia Shield LTE"

I will probably sell mine later on, does not crash, nor shutdown due to kernel /voltage issues, as the X1 prototypes, according to some reports online.

The only "Issue" with mine, is that there is no "Armor" [Faceplate] on it, and has a small crack where the Debug port is.

Dude, that's still an incredible thing to own. Mine needs the 18650 batteries changed out, but it's a regular retail unit.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
