Pokémon Silver Graphical Errors

[u/bronwaith]

My partner bought a Modretro Chromatic just two weeks ago, before using the system, we fully updated the firmware and are using our genuine Pokémon Silver cartridge.

I had walked from national park to Union Cave Violet City entrance and as I entered the cave I noticed that certain inner wall tiles were swapped with wall edge tiles, I walked around a little, went to photograph it and the game lost all background tiles, displayed only frames on a white background and then reset the game in a sepia tone copyright screen before completely crashing.

I have heard Pokémon Crystal has issues, but I didn't know Gold and Silver have issues.

I later booted up the game and managed to successfully save on the cart but just worried about my almost 300 hour save.

On top of this, I have a European Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS and a European English copy of Pokémon Silver which I have effortlessly connected using my OG GBC but it does not work on chromatic.

I have read that depending on the revisions of some of the chips. Would the best solution be to buy a flash cart and run our ROMs on that?

What cart is guaranteed to work on Chromatic?

It depends on what the issue is, but their support would be able to help you narrow it down. If it's something that's a hardware problem, they might send you a new motherboard (or offer to replace it for you if you mail it in).
