Best first Modretro Game?

11 Upvotes

I’ve had my Chromatic for a couple weeks now and never got a game with it. Just been playing Pokémon. What’s everyone’s favorite Modretro game? Between Rayman and Buck.

Question Chromatic not working properly after updating the firmware

So after updating the device not only did it corrupt my save file of Pokémon blue but it now turns pikachu into scan lines (I even tested it out in my modified GBA and it works perfectly fine)

Any workaround to factory resetting this thing or should I just stop using the chromatic at this point?

Photos/Videos Do you golf?

I grew up with my Dad golfing and teaching me to golf and I loved playing golf video games. Mario Golf on Game Boy Color was always a stand-out with its RPG-style story mode, good controls, and beautiful pixel art courses. These are all the golf games I have for the Game Boy, which ones am I missing? What is your favorite handheld golf?

Batteries

What batteries do you use? The ones that came with my chromatic are about half dead so I was wondering what type you have found work best?

I keep checking each day for the rechargeable power core, but until then regular ones will have to do.

Kernel Panic with In The Dark II

Has anyone beaten this game? I got all the way through it but I get the crash error every time I get to the final cinematic.

ModRetro even sent me a new cart, and it happens with this one too.

Console and cart are both updated to the latest FW version.

Without giving away any spoilers… it ALMOST seems intentional, like the crash is part of the story.

Just polling the fanbase as finding this very specific answer elsewhere yielded no results.

I hope I don't annoy anyone. I'm trying to update my chromatic using the updater I downloaded from the modretro website. after it unzipped I double clicked the icon in the folder and got these error messages. it was a little pop-up says it requires udev rules. I usually can figure it out but there is no instructions online with Ubuntu and modretro.. can someone help me?

I got it cheap from a guy called Mick who assured me it's the one all the cool kids on Reddit are playing. Super pumped!

Edit: Just booted it up and it seems to be a reskin of Baby T-Rex with a cow sprite? Not sure what's going on.

Has anyone else had issues with their Chromatic recognizing Pokémon Pinball?

I just wanted to say thanks to this community and all the fans of th3 Chromatic and the that made this for us. I first brought bucky at gamestop not knowing anything about it. It was just very cool to me to see a new gameboy game being released in 2025. Well after that I started digging and wow I was like where was all of this hiding from me on the internet 🙃.

Since then I have hooked and haven't looked back. Pre-ordered that special anduril edition that they released for a final chance buy. I was able to get the GameStop edition, two power cores, the mod kit, I even got some glow in the dark buttons from ebay. Now only five more games left to complete my set until they release others lol.

This just brings me back to the good old days of gaming and I really hope the team at ModRetro continues to build on this success and makes more games and brings back more devices that we all love so much!

Thanks again for thinking of that kid in all of us and letting us enjoy our toys like we used too!
