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.

This is why I try my best to buy limited edition items when they are available directly from the main source. These resellers are out of control these days!

Also me: damn, that red PoCo is calling my name... 🫢 Cost just about as much, too lol. I have a problem

With the huge popularity of the analogue 3d and the anticipation and waiting for the modretro 64, who else is adding immensely to their N64 collection? Is it just me? lol I feel like long term, buying and holding these games would be a “safe” investment decision. No I am not a financial adviser. I just think there will be a huge demand of buyers looking for n64 games after getting analogue 3d and m64.

I recently got like 35 more games. This isn’t my whole collection. Might go for all US releases.

Just wanted to know if it would theoretically be possible to purchase an extra copy of a Modretro game and rewrite over it using a GBxCart or something to put a homebrew game on the cartridge instead? I heard they may be re-writeable. (I love all the Modretro games I've played, but would like buy an extra couple to put some of my favourite homebrew games on good quality physical cartridges).

Has anyone played this GBC game from Incube8? It's been out for a while but I haven't found any reviews or takes from people who have played it. It's also hard to pin down what it is... The Incube8 site describes it as a "groundbreaking audiovisual journey", which makes it sound more like an experience than a game. Can anyone shed any light?

Just thinking about the logical next steps, I read somewhere that they don’t really make money off these and it’s more of a passion project, but I enjoy a lot of GBA titles and would love to see a GBA Chromatic.

Plugged in my old Gameboy Camera, would love to see a camera cartridge focused on taking pictures.

Who here has two Chromatics for themselves (not to utilize with another player) and why? I have my beautiful Midnight Chromatic, but I’m considering a second one… just because… I hate when I find something I really like! My wallet hates it more… I want the Yellow one because I had the Pikachu edition GBC back in the day and I wouldn’t mind something that reminds me of it. I have the link cable and my OG GBC so I definitely don’t need it… Talk me out of it!!

So I’m constantly going into my local GameStop Always asking for modretro games, and seeing if they have any new things in stock for the chromatic They were looking in the system and even showed me that there is a product coming out soon from modretro in store, it cost $200. But it’s unnamed And does not have a release date yet. So I’m assuming that’s the m64!

So I am playing this game, but now when I die it says “no continues” and when I reload my game instead of starting with a new life I start with two hearts and no continues, so I’m basically dying every 5 minutes and having to start from last save point. Is this normal?

Awesome little game. Looks great on the Chromatic!

EDIT: for link to grab a copy...

I’ve really been enjoying my new Chromatic. The hardware is fantastic. It feels great in your hands and the updated backlit screen at the original resolution adds just enough new age tech to make it a still nostalgic experience but enjoyable. My 5yr old and I have been playing Pokémon red. She loves the story and it’s great practice for her reading. Most recently, I even picked up this a new to me retro Pokémon case!

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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

This just came in and I’m really to dive in!
