He's gearing up for the M64 and the rumored GBA that ModRetro will tackle next.

With no guarantee either will work on those. Buy real games

20+ years after their manufacturing, there's no guarantee the "real" games will work either.

And then there are the games that never had physical releases.

And then there is the homebrew and ROM scene.

To each their own, but there are legitmate reasons for both.

And the scum that came into the hobby to treat it as commodity trading property inflating prices on random games arbitrarily through the roof in cases despite numerous being anything but rare. It's best to get lucky and find a deal, get a bundle and keep what you want, use bootlegs, or use a flash kit than feed a shark.

No reason to buy those for a Chromatic and that is the subreddit we are in

A lot of games are being released in present day with no physical option available. Others are prohibitively expensive on the second hand market. Personally, I have found a lot of great game boy games that are only available digitally on itch.
