GLK-book - a famiclone notebook

Hi folks,

I want to share with you some photos I made of a realy strange famiclone that I picked up at a local thrift store:



The rest of pictures, including internals, you can see here (click on right "more" for more):

GLK-book

 

It is strange, a famiclone with a sega chip in it?

smf

 

Wow, that's a really neat item you found.
Thanks for sharing.

 

That's kind of cool, i wouldn't mind having one of those...

If you don't mind me asking, how much was it?

 

It was 10$ CA. Unfortunately it came without PSU, and then I tried to use universal power supply at NES specs, I got a small cloud of nasty smelling smoke, and that was it for this unit. I trashed it, but made photos first, just for fun.

I suspect that GLK stands for Gold Leopard King: 1, 2, 3.

 

Is that screen real or did you paste that desktop on??

Neat item sho nuff.

 

It's a silly sticker, pretending to be your average Windows 98 desktop.

 

yea thats a wierd looking one i have a couple nes clone that look like n64 controller and sega ones lol

 

It must be said and repeated many times, never never never use your NES adaptor on another system! That thing outputs 9V AC (as it says on its case), unsuitable for DC-powered systems.

 

Its a shame you trashed it, its quite an interesting item. You couldve sold it, infact I might have bought it. Im gonna make sure I load up on Famiclones next time I go to Moscow. Im sure youve all heard of the Dendy, still have mine laying around somewhere...

 

Yeah, GLK stands for Gold Lepord King, they tend to have a new famiclone "model" every year.

Nice clone, I wonder how long it will be before someone makes one that has a real screen on it.

 

the cost of the NES circuitry wouldn't match the cost of a color LCD screen

 

Unfortunatley true, I would take an NES over an LCD screen any day.:nod:

 

I'm pretty sure there have been all-in-one DVD player units with "TV game function" ie famiclone hardware built-in. They'd be using the DVD/CD drive for ROMs though, so only a bunch of mapper 1 games.

So the screen wasn't real at all? What good would the keyboard have been?

EDIT: should've checked your pictures first. What a strange unit.

 

I ordered Pokefami from liksang. Hope it's as good as reviews suggest. I plan to start buying some of the best Famicom games, and this unit seem to be the best way to play them. I do play most of my MegaDrive games on SEGA Nomad.

 

There are at least five famiclone handhelds:

GameAxe


Game Theory Admiral


One Station


Pokefami:


and the TopGuy.

 

Game Theory Admiral? Lol, this is why I love Famiclones, its great. Lol, as I scrolled I couldve sworn it was a GBA.

Santa, those arent all GLK though are they?

 

I have an older Golden Leopard King, that looks like a standard pc keyboard.. and comes with an Uzi!

for educational!!

 

The "One Station" is not exactly a famiclone,

Wow, didn't know the One station was a famiclone. In fact, I think they sell those here in my local Best buy, for like $39.95.
