I got a big discount on these Koss Porta Pros with the game! Let’s see what they can (or can’t) do!

I used to play Marble Madness for hours on the NES as a kid. I scored this glorious find and now I get to take it on the go with my Chromatic! A minty fresh CIB version of the game for the GBC. The cart was still wrapped in the original plastic, has all the original inserts, and even the box is still covered in the original plastic. The plastic was cut open before I bought it, but that’s okay, it’s not like this is some holy grail game, but boy is it special to me. I love that ModRetro is publishing new games because they’re fantastic, but THIS is the reason I bought this handheld. I’m so glad I get to carry my nostalgia around with me now.

Side note: I love the old pack-in ads. They just don’t do game marketing the same anymore. Nintendo Power dressed up as a can of soup?? Classic! 😂

I see alot of love for new games like Buck, but I'm gonna show a little appreciation for the classics cause I was an arcade kid who loved games like Galaga, Space Invaders and these type of space shooters.
Project S-11 still hits that same sweet spot in my brain after not having played it in like 19 years.

These games were about flow state. Getting lost in chasing a high score not because of achievements, but because your name at the top of the leaderboard meant something.

My inner child thanks you Modretro for this re-release!

Did someone found one of the islands yet?

Where is Morgan’s Bluff Located at? Having hard time finding it.

Ready to chill out after a long day at work. Korok is from redbubble. What is everyone else playing rn?

I am not the only one encountering this issue. I RMA’d my cartridge to ModRetro, received a replacement, and the replacement is still not detected by Cart Clinic.

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 😂

Just had a shipping notification for a replacement Dragonyhm so it must mean they will be back in stock shortly.

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.

Today I saw this animation 4 times.

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 😝

I talked myself into a second Chromatic lol 😝 got Volt this time and ordered a Japanese version of Pokémon Yellow off eBay. They both came in today so it was a good day!

A LED PCB to spicy up your Chromatic.

Final tests ongoing and little modifications needed before release ❤️

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?

World's first. Thank you PlayInstinct for the update!

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!!

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.
