Anyone else been capable of getting the GamePic folder to work inside there ksystem folder and actually display the thumbnails as you scroll through your games? I cant figure it out. I have it extracted into my ksystem folder like instructed?
My Revo K101+ came in the mail about 3 weeks ago. I really love the thing and I've figured out how to make GB/C games save & load properly. This thread's original post makes mention of the Revo K101+ having issues with Game Boy & Game Boy Color saves. The multitude of videos I've watched (from the official Revo/K1GBA YouTube channel and various owners of the Revo K101+) and things I've read did not work on my console for some reason. I'm talking about the hotkey combinations to save and load games (*+Start and *+Select). Those combos only ever worked ONCE for me. After a couple days messing around, I've been able to find a way to have GB/C games save and load properly. I should mention that I bought the Revo K101+ for the sole purpose of Pokemon rom hacks and therefore the only successful GB/C save/load method I've found has been tested on the original GB/C Pokemon games and various GB/C Pokemon rom hacks.
Here's how I'm getting GB/C games to save & load correctly:
Using those exact steps, I've been able to make Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Crystal, and numerous rom hacks of those games properly and safely save & load. As mentioned above, I bought this device for Pokemon rom hacks. I've not tested this save/load method on other GB/C games, but I don't see why it wouldn't work on other games.
- Save my progress using in-game menu
- Bring up the Configuration Menu by pressing L+R simultaneously
- Scroll down to "Manage SRAM -->"
- Press Select to erase SRAM
- Press *+L and choose "Return to file list"
In the process of getting GB/C saves to work correctly, I've also found a seemingly hidden emulation speed-up feature for GB/C games. I've not read about a built-in speed up feature anywhere, nor is the hotkey combination listed anywhere in the menu, but I somehow managed to find one. The speed-up function will toggle between emulating a GB/C game at 2x speed, 0.5x speed, and standard speed. The button combination to toggle different emulation speeds is L+Start. Note that this only works for GB/C games. Pressing that L+Start hotkey combo while playing a GBA game won't do anything. It has not been tested on the other game formats the Revo K101+ is capable of emulating.
I'm in the process of figuring out a clear and concise way to get cheat codes to work (specifically, custom .CHT files - not the ones included in the archive from the Revo team). I'll have more to say on that once I understand a bit more how the Revo handles things.
Cheers!
I finally got my replacement. They sent me a crystal blue unit, which was not what I ordered, but hey, at least it's here. Also, it's quite good looking and more GBA-esque.so... they "forgot" my replacement unit for the last White model batch and now I should get one when the crystal black units arrive... they need to sort these customer service issues, because they have a very good product in hand
You are dead wrong. Trading works fine between gb/gbc and the revo k101 (plus and original).
There are several dozen videos on you tube of this. Oh god today's gamers have gotten ultra lazy.
I cannot find any evidence of this either, but for all I know I could be wrong. I have also watched dozens of videos on the K101 and none of them address GB/GBC linking.
What I have done is I attempted to use a GBA 4 player link with a GBA SP and a physical Pokemon Red cart with the Revo K101 Plus with a Pokemon Blue ROM and they could not link.
Caveats: I do not have two Revo K101 to test this on. I am using a Nyko 4 player link, not a GB/GBC 2 player link. I haven't tried this with my GBC (which I cannot locate at the moment).
