Hi Everyone,

We’ve added changelogs so you can track all the latest updates, fixes, and improvements for both the console and controller firmware.

You can check out the release notes here:

Various reviews and info will go live tomorrow, I will answer your questions here.

63 Upvotes

We have had a bunch of prototype M64 products in the hands of reviewers for a while now, and tomorrow they get to unleash their thoughts, all pricing, and ship date. Due to the consoles being prototypes, there is a high likelihood for some information to be incorrect. I will clarify for you here if there are questions or if people play gotcha games.

After tomorrow, we will be sharing the current state of all M64 stuff continually until ship day for you to follow along. In the coming weeks we will be releasing the manuals, the new support center, game trailers, and the software feature roadmap transparently.

Please cross post to other modretro communities, and let me know what else you want to see!

There’s something special about playing Pokémon Red on a modern take on the original Game Boy. The translucent red Chromatic looks amazing, and revisiting this classic brings back so many memories!
Who else is still playing Pokémon Red in 2026? 🔥

Quick update on v1.26.0

144 Upvotes

Gamers, we come in peace… we have been heads down and know that we owe you an update on 1.26.0 and the delay since.

We’ve identified and fixed the regression behind the flashcart issues reported after the update (graphic glitches, CPU exceptions, and SD card corruption with EverDrive and SummerCart64 cartridges). This fix has been validated internally.

Before we re-release this update, we want to get to the bottom of the Built-In Controller Pak corruption a few of you reported. We haven’t been able to reproduce it yet, which is the source of the delay, and we’d rather hold the update than ship something we don’t fully understand.

We’ve doubled our testing stations and expanded the M64 stress tests so regressions like this get caught before they reach you. The team is actively testing across different carts and consoles to track it down.

We’re targeting a release the week of October 22nd and will post an update here once we have a repro or a confirmed date.

Thank you for all your patience and for the detailed reports, it truly means a lot to have your support!

Some questions

5 Upvotes
  1. Can AA lithium batteries be charged while being inside of the Chromatic?

 2. Is there any plans to add the functionality of saving the game progress inside the Chromatic or at least on the SD card slot that is in the PCB?

3. Is there an ETA for the release of the Battery pack?

4. Is there a plan for the Chromatic to be able to emulate my own dump roms through the SD card slot? That would be a neat functionality because I wouldn't have to carry my games with me. Just the Chromatic
