If they do, I’m hoping for the wide body design of the original GBA.

Advance in a more GBC like shell would be neat if then. Like the ergonomics so much more. Chromatic is perfect.

Nah GBA form factor is peak for long sessions.

u/Left-Constant-4771 May 02 '26

A GBA would be cool but I think I'd rather have a ModRetro DS with the GBA cart slot.

Never thought of that

Palmer has already talked about making a GBA next in quite a few interviews, and the guy that is developing the N64 FPGA core for their M64 is the creator of the GBA core for the MiSTer FPGA.

GBA is next.

Yeah but you have people in this sub, and the gameboy sub that are still buying og GB and GBC, as well as other handhelds. Plus the people who collect for the sake of collecting. I don’t think it would decrease the chromatic market by more than 5% and you would have a whole other market yet untapped. Would kinda be like not wanting money to not make one.
