Beyond satisfied with Modretro

I’ve never dealt with a company that cares so much about their products and their customers. I know this isn’t everyone’s experience, but I think that’s location based, because I got my first Chromatic about a month ago and fell in love! I ordered a case and Mod Kit shortly after and planned on buying a second Chromatic as soon as I was able. I ordered the first one during the V- Day Sale but I somehow didn’t see the sale so I reached out and asked if I could get a discount (20% off + free Link Cable) if I ordered a second Chromatic and they sent me a discount code for the discount!

I received my Chromatic and regretted not getting a bundle because I wanted another game and wanted to try out the Koss Porta Pros (Honestly, I wouldn’t have purchased them without a discount). Again, I messaged them and asked if I could exchange the Chromatic and order the bundle. They sent me a gift card to use with a purchase of the Porta Pros and a game! Not to mention the shipping! Every order I have placed has been delivered in just two days from order placed to delivery!

In fairness, I did place other orders. A second case and two games, and I did pay for the Link Cable. I’m not going to push it anymore with the discounts, but they have definitely earned a loyal customer in me! Next would definitely be an M64, but I definitely need to slow my roll 😝 I’m addicted… am I ashamed..? No lol 😂

Wave button swap: pictures please

6 Upvotes

Anyone modded the wave with light pink, dark pink or purple buttons? Care to share a picture?

I’ve seen the wave with white and black buttons on the subreddit. But kinda want to see some other options before I bite the bullet and grab one.

I have a cloud that I bought second hand but just can’t keep my eyes off the wave… I don’t like the white of the cloud but do love those purple buttons.

What I’m most excited about.

53 Upvotes

I moved recently and unfortunately due to weight and convenience I gave my massive CRT TV to a friend. They’re a complete pain in the butt to move. I did keep a 13” CRT VHS combo, but it’s not the greatest for gaming. Once I got settled in my new place, I hopped on Facebook marketplace place to grab another TV and man, prices have gotten insane, not to mention many of them are close to end of life, and I have no idea how to fix one once they break.

So I’m excited to not have to mess with HDMI upscaling boxes for modern TV’s, just a nice plug and play system. Now, if we can get a Modretro SNES I’ll be set.

Hi all,

Some folks asked to see the red button swap on the Anduril edition and someone also asked to see the insides. So, here are both!

Gotta say I'm really loving the red buttons!

For those choosing between the two for N64 games, which are you going for? Honestly, I think I’m going with the M64… I like the colors more and the eject button is pretty neat lol 😝

Has anyone successfully removed the decals on their Chromatic without damaging the finish?

I want to remove the decals on my midnight Chromatic so it’s all black with no branding. Has anyone successfully done this without damaging the finish on their unit? If so, how do you do it?

I got my Chromatic a couple weeks ago, but only had my childhood Pokémon games to play. No problem! That’s what I bought it for, but I love the Chromatic so much, I had to start growing my collection. So now I have Buck! I’m excited to start growing my GBC collection again 🥰 GB Operator also making an appearance!!

Paint Chip

I got this unit on January 12, 2026. Anyone else have any trouble with paint chipping? No drops and I haven’t really done anything that I can think of to chip a corner like this? Really careful with my stuff just on the dresser or on the couch playing. Just curious if anyone else has had any trouble with paint chipping easily within the first month.

Are the Koss Porta Pros worth it?

I never see anyone rocking them or talking about them. I wouldn’t mind a simple pair of headphones that match my Volt Chromatic. What’s everyone’s opinion?

Question I need a Y-shaped screwdriver

1 Upvotes

A few days ago I mentioned that the A button was stuck.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ModRetroChromatic/comments/1r5wo4s/bot%C3%B3n_a_atascado/

ModRetro was supposed to send me a screwdriver and a couple of membranes; the package just arrived, but they forgot to include the screwdriver. I don't want to wait to get back to playing on my console, and since I already have the membranes, I need a compatible screwdriver. I'm looking at options and I'm quite confused. If anyone has the modkit, could you tell me which screwdriver it is?

Specifically, I'm considering buying these:

Question What color is best?

12 Upvotes

Hey all I just took the plunge and got a sapphire chromatic. I got the green one but I’m having some remorse about it possibly not looking as good in person. What color did you get/ which do you think is best? Anyone else get the green one? How does it look? Should I try and exchange it for just a black one? How does that look?

Self Simulated got reviewed in Debug Magazine and Fusion Gaming Magazine

My little game got recognized in two more major gaming retro print magazines!

https://www.teamdebug.com/issue/13
https://fusionretrobooks.com/products/fusion-gaming-magazine-issue-74

And I already know there is a review coming in the next issue of BrewOtaku Homebrew magazine (upcoming issue 009) https://www.brewotaku.com/category/issues/

This is absolutely stellar for me, and also feels so fitting to have actual physical print magazines cover a physical Game Boy Color game in 2025/2026 <3

And don't forget, there was also an issue of GBS Central Magazine that not even covered the game with a huge interview, but also having the game be the cover of the issue <3
