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.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • 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

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
