Its a new product.I mean clone of your most recognized flash carts on the market,.

N5 Revolution's is even a copy of the R4's. I even went as far as to contact my source at R4 and hear directly from them as to whether or not this is their product. They have confirmed that this is NOT their product. But is the N5 the same or superior than its original? Thats what we're here to find out and let you know. The N5 comes packaged with the following items: 1 x USB microSD card reader 1 x N5 SLOT-1 cartridge 1 x Mini installation CD Like majority of flash carts on the market, they include a mini-CD with firmware files. As always, its best to download from the manufacturers homepage.

Not with this product. Trying to download the latest files only gave me 1KB file instead of the ~12MB file.

Since this card is new to the market and the first site to review this product, I wanted to find more information on this card and was unable to. Only information I found was from Chinese wholesalers with different box art and sticker on the N5. Some even claimed this would support microSDHC. But since this is a clone of the R4, there is no support for microSDHC. R4 hasnt even released a new product that supports microSDHC. But to give it a test, I thought I would pop in my 4GB Kingston microSDHC (Japan). I get as far as the 'Loading.'

Screen and it just hangs. So those loyal to R4 and thinks the N5 will have SDHC support, this is not for you. Since the 4GB microSDHC is a no go, lets try a normal 1GB A-Data microSD (Japan). After transferring the necessary files and a couple of games, I turned on the DS. Wait, whats this?! Looks exactly like what happened with the 4GB microSDHC. Did I do something wrong?

So I decided to try a different microSD, this time using my 1GB Kingston microSD (Japan). Copied the same exact files and turned on my DS. Loading screen showed and it went directly to the menu. So it seems that the N5DS is picky when it comes to microSDs. Whats got me stumped is that since this is a clone of the R4, isnt it suppose to work the same?

I had the A-Data card on my M3 Simply and R4 and it worked but not on the N5. So once I had the microSD situation figured out, its time to test this clone out. Upon startup, you are greeted with three options; GAMES, MULTIMEDIA and BOOT SLOT-2. When GAMES is selected, the file browser is located on the top screen.

This is where all your selecting is done. To navigate through files or to select a file, you use the directional pad to move up and down. Too bad that you cant use the touch pad. The menu looks exactly like the R4 with the exception of some colors and instead of R4 Revolution logo, it has N5 Revolution.

Skinning is setup the same way as the R4. All it takes to change the look of the OS is four simple images and placing it into the '_system_' folder: • logo.bmp -- Background of the Top Screen of N5's Startup. Juicy J Chronicles Of The Juiceman Rarlab there. • icons.bmp -- Background of the Bottom Screen of N5's Startup.

• bckgrd_1.bmp -- Background of the Top Screen of N5's Explorer. • bckgrd_2.bmp -- Background of the Bottom Screen of N5s Explorer. Note: Do not change the picture's name; Make sure the picture is.bmp format, 8-bit/24-bit; Make sure the picture is 253*192 pixels. Is the compatibility with games the same? The first game I tried was Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin since this had problems with certain microSDs but worked fine with my Kingston/A-Data cards.
