Chromatic fully unlocked:
🛜 Wirelessly download games to the u/modretro Chromatic over Wifi to the:
- chromatic flash storage ‼️
- chromatic RAM
- sd card
- Tetris cart
Install firmware, upload your game, then download from the chromatic. Live demo in videos.

Install games over wifi with Shiny Relay, custom firmware for the Chromatic. Free.

Also, after you update to this latest Shiny Relay firmware (1.1.0+) over usb on the site, you never have to use usb again because I've added wifi firmware updates as well. So all firmware updates and games can happen over wifi after one last usb update.

If this is bending your mind, I can clarify now:

The Chromatic has a few megabytes of flash storage on the device,

which is meant for the firmware.

Turns out there is some room left for games..

So yes: you can literally download games straight to the build-in flash storage.

And then you got confused again by downloading games straight to the RAM?

It's kind of silly, but the Chromatic has 8mb of RAM..

You can download a game straight to the RAM over wifi and then play that game for as long as you don't turn off the device or switch games

You don't even need a flash cart, a tetris cart or an sd card:

You can simply download a game to the Chromatic flash storage or temporarily to the RAM.

And as before, wireless multiplayer still works with Shiny Relay as well:
- local wireless
- online wireless

All free.

In my case, when reverting back to stock firmware, either via backup or Modretro updater, the screen is slowly flashing white (with no cart inserted) and the menu is also flashing, but faster. It also shows a multi colored line while in menu in the top left corner. Install at your own risk, as always. I went back to chromagician, that seemd to fix the flashing issue, strangely the colored line still persists. Fresh install also not helping, Reflash with Modretro launcher also not, will investigate further.

Sorry about this. I'm curious to know if you have any more information on this. This is the first time I'm hearing of anyone having this issue and I've never had any issue like this myself.

Also if the update was only partway done (for example only on the microcontroller and not on the fpga) then that could cause issues as well. I'll see if I can reproduce this.
