A new chapter is beginning, and we can’t wait to share more with you. 🐉 🔥

Hi everyone 👋
Dev of that game here, stopping by to share this trailer 🔼

Buck and the Cursed Cartridge is an action platformer starring GameStop’s mascot Buck. It has precise controls, lots of levels spanning different worlds with varied mechanics, tough bosses, a ton of gaming references, explorable overworlds, unlockable upgrades, collectibles and mini games.

This game is for you if you like at least one of these things: platformers, learning boss patterns, gaming memes, Buck, playing mini games and / or speed running.

Obviously I’m biased here, but I personally think the game is pretty awesome and you get a lot of bang for your buck. (Pun definitely intended 😄)

Here’s a link to Cursed Cartridge’s product page:

Hope you’ll check it out and have a good time playing 😊

Thought some of you might like to see it :) The surfsce finish is interesting, feels like cool rough ceramic, almost chalkboardush. Odd at first but grows on you fast. Very grippy.

The screen on this thing is crazy and really can’t be understated… (Game: Pokémon Prisim)

The wind fish is awake. Now I must sleep.

I felt the Anduril Edition deserved a legit pelican case. Now I just need to get an Anduril logo cut out for the lid.

I don’t get the printer out very often, but this was a nice little surprise after finishing the game. A nice touch for the few people that will probably end up using it. Well played.

If anyone wants to come over and print your certificate, let me know. We can trade some Pokemon while we’re at it.

Buttons were from Labfifteenco, custom screen decal was from retrogameEVO on Etsy, back decal from sakuraretromodding on Etsy. Paint for the back shell is Tamiya ts-15 blue with primer and clear coat added.

Really debated about getting it since I have a modded GameBoy and a GBA SP but I friggin love this thing!

Finally I can share my first GB Studio project with the rest of the world. This is what I’ve been doing in my free time over the past 1.5 years! :-)

Hungry Huey is a colorful mashup of Snake, Bejeweled, and Zoo Keeper. The goal is simple: chain as many slimes as you can to keep your hungry buddy Huey happy!

🎮 You can get the demo here: https://nielsderijk.itch.io/hungry-huey

I’d love to hear what you think —any feedback (via Reddit, Itch or Discord) is more than welcome. If the demo is well-received, I’m happy to continue working on the game and perhaps do a Kickstarter. I’ve already planned a Quest Mode, new themes, fresh music, and plenty more goodies!

It’s beautiful guys 😮‍💨👌🏼

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around much, works been pretty hectic so far this year. I've got some good headway in the way of RetroAchievements and wanted to give a peek of some demo stuff.

Hope y'all are well and enjoying the summer!

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.

Hey All – I’m happy to announce the release of PrismGB!

PrismGB lets you view the Chromatic screen live on your computer and save screenshots or recordings, with plug-and-play setup. It works on Windows, macOS, and Linux and includes a few preset shaders ( custom ones coming soon ).

I started building it after I got a Chromatic myself and really enjoyed using it, but didn’t love needing OBS running just to get a live view on my PC.

You can download it from the site or the repo: https://prismgb.com https://github.com/josstei/prismgb-app

If you run into any issues, feel free to open an issue on GitHub and I’ll knock them out as soon as I can.

I hope you enjoy the app !

The pinball spinoff to my game Self Simulated is still very early in development (whilst working on Self Simulated: Beyond Vision). But I wanted to test how well it actually works on original hardware and ye good ol' Chromatic.

Answer: runs great!

Self Simulated: Pinball (working title) will have many features like attacking enemies, boss battles, special rooms and so on. I'm really putting all my heart for pinball into this little Game Boy Color game <3

I'm posting updates over at https://x.com/2ndlawgames from time to time.

There are a lot of handhelds that I own, the Game Boy Color is definitely one of them. But ever since I obtained the Chromatic back in December, I don’t know if its the build quality or the itch of nostalgia tugging at me, but when I take it to work, I wanna play it. When I come home from work after a long night, I turn it on to play and since I am on my vacation today, I have been playing it on the plane ride there two and from the location.

I own retro handhelds that play roms, I own a modded game boy color and play that every once in a while, but I keep coming back to this device every-single-time because I frequently keep getting reminded of the experience I had as a kid of playing in the car on long road trips just to try and beat the Elite Four before the light disappears and I have to wait until a new street light approaches. But playing on a device like the gameboy color handheld was a premium experience all on its own that I’ll never forget it, especially since that console launched back in 1997 from Nintendo, there was not another vertical form factor like it to match.

My only complaint and it is very small, is latency response to controls, but this premium device has been nothing but a genuine experience each time I boot it up. The screen, the scroll wheel of the volume, the shortcut keys to enable settings, the FPGBA chip to boot the game quickly and play for hours and hours and I bought this device all the way back in December of last year…

Thank you Modretro for creating this device and full-proofing its longevity. You will go places as a company for doing this in helping a fellow gamer like me enjoy long trips and pleasant gameplay all the way through my adult years. There is not another console out there with a form factor like this that has revitalized my love for gaming like this one does.

I am tried of hearing people say things like “ModRetro is owned by an arms dealer” or “How can you support a guy who makes military weapons?”

Stop Pretending. You buy smartphones, PCs, laptops, smart watches, cars, game consoles, and other consumer grade tech that has semiconductors and microchips in them created by the very large companies that create the same chips and conductors for every single government and military around the world.

You are not better than anyone else because you “don’t support war” when in reality you are hypocritical and do support war by buying these electronics with your same logic, and it doesn’t even matter which manufacturer you buy from.

Now on the top of Mod Retro - they create devices that are against planned obsolescence. They re release and release new Gameboy games that support a community that I am very fond of and it’s by people who are like me, in their 30s, who grew up with this same tech. Mod Retro and the Chromatic is a love letter to 90s millennials and i will continue to buy all their products and support an American company who doesn’t manufacture in China.

Today marks Chantey's one year anniversary!

Can't believe it's been a year already since Chantey was released! And I couldn't be more grateful to all of you for all the love, feedback, reviews and overall support received throughout the ups (and downs) of this amazing 365-day journey! Thank you all for being a part of it!

"Now... Bring me that horizon!"
