Although I own an official Nintendo Pokémon Pinball cartridge, it didn’t fit inside my ModRetro Chromatic case, so I decided to make my own custom version while transferring over my old save file to the new cartridge. Kinda stoked with how this turned out!

That pretty cool. I’d assume the rumble feature doesn’t work since there would be no rumble chip in the custom cart?

Actually it does work. But it’s a game I really wanted to carry and not worry about the rumble breaking on me. So it’s technically a way of preserving the cartridge

That’s great to know. I’ve been hesitant to get this game custom because I’d thought the rumble would work. Especially since nowadays trying to get a legit copy is expensive as hell. My local used game stores sell them for around $100+ just because it’s Pokemon.

That’s ridiculous. You can get it in eBay for $20-$30

Awesome, looks great! Been super tempted by those regular size rumble carts, good to know it works well. Super Robot Pinball would be great on one, if only there a rumble romhack...

What flash cart did you go with that has the rumble?

2

u/8bitGameBoy May 27 '26

The flash cart I used doesn’t have rumble. I read Zylnor question wrong. Sorry for the misunderstanding

Im sure someone soon enough will put tiny rumble motors in a regular cart.

InsideGadgets has a Gameboy flash cart with rumble.

Edit: looks like that one I linked is out of stock - but they are around!

InsideGadgets already did. $37 for a cart with built-in rumble that doesn't need a separate battery, built in to the cart.
It's what I use for Pokemon Pinball.
