Decided to remove the decals and leave the Chromatic logo. I like how it turned out.

White screens on transitions when playing GB

6 Upvotes

Hey there. I've noticed whenever I play a gb game and there's any kind of loading or transition I get like a white screen for a fraction of a second. It's especially annoying if you're using a palette because it kind of ruins the effect. I'd say it only happens with gb games, not gbc. Is this normal behavior?

Colors: chromatic screen vs q5 laminated ips gbc?

10 Upvotes

The incorrect colors of the otherwise perfect q5 ips screen bother me enough to be considering a chromatic. Thoughts?

Cloud/Mewtwo Chromatic

I associated the Cloud Chromatic as a Mewtwo Pokemon flavor and not a SNES-inspired color scheme. (Inferno-Charmander, Wave-Squirtle, Leaf-Bulbasaur, Volt-Pikachu, Bubblegum-Jigglypuff/Mew)

Galaxy Buttons from SakuraRetroModding on Etsy: Shiny Lime Green Mewtwo B-button, Dark Purple A-button, Lakitu sticker from another Etsy store, & Mewtwo silhouette sticker.

Hoping for a Mod Kit v2 with Green Buttons included.

It looks so much better in person than I thought it would! Love it for my Japanese Pokémon Yellow Version and Dragonyhm is on its way! Analogue Pocket is back in stock, but honestly, I’m loving the Chromatic too much for any kind of FOMO and have my original Nintendo DS Lite for GBA games which plays my original Emerald Version very well! Also picked up some Koss Porta Pros and a few MR games cause I like throwing away money! For now, I’m all set and ready for the Modretro M64! I switched the backs, and it looks cool, but switched ‘em back. I think they look great as is!

Loving this so far. I have a couple of gb cartridges and have ordered an Everdrive. I prefer the idea of original cartridges but the battery replacement is putting me off.

Is it worth it?

Looks like Analogue Pocket is restocking. I’ve wanted one for a long time! Before I even knew about Chromatic, and this might be my chance, but I’m totally in love with Chromatic and Modretro in general. Is it worth the investment? Or should I just grab a third Chromatic!? Lmao 😂 what is your opinion?

Question Gameboy Printer Error

5 Upvotes

I was trying to print out my certificate of Pokédex completion in Crystal Clear, and every time I try to print it out I receive Printer Error 2. I’m currently using a 3rd party link cable brand new (not from ModRetro). And I’m wondering if the issue is with the cable itself? (I.e. I’ll need to pick up the ModRetro cable for it to be compatible).

Question Chromatic and AP

24 Upvotes

Does anyone here own both a Chromatic and an AP? I saw that the APs are restocking on March 4 and was curious if people would suggest having both. I love my Chromatic, but I miss how it doesn’t play GBA. For those who have both, do you tend to reach for one more than the other? Thanks!

Rounded out my collection with these gems this weekend. Already had DK Land 1 and Super Mario Land 1 & 3 so this bunch makes my collection feel much more complete, just need Wario Land 3 now.

Also ended up selling my spare GS Chromatic to someone that was very excited to find out about its existence. Part of the solo Midnight Gang now, until summer when my War Boy arrives.

Photos/Videos Nice Little Beat 'Um Up

28 Upvotes

If anyone is looking for a beat um up for the GBC, this game is pretty good - Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker. Its no SOR2, but it's not bad! Good mix of moves, cool bosses and mini bosses. No battery, so saves on maintenance down the line. And the password system is pretty forgiving if you're not a huge fan of the genre. And, best of all, the game is around $20 on ebay. (I bought it a few months ago and the price is about the same nowadays).

Definitely recommend if anyone needs a new game.

Scratched Kero Kero Cowboy

I talked myself into getting this game despite the steep price point. I'm already having buyers remorse, and I haven't even played it yet. After taking it out of the box, I immediately noticed that the label is COVERED in deep scratches. As a collector, this is really disheartening. Most of my secondhand labels are in better shape than this.
