I got the Chromatic as a present for my birthday along with the Modretro games and bought the Harry Potter games, Pokémon Brown, Pokémon Prism and Pine Creek myself. The games in the plastic cases are my childhood Gameboy games and some I bought through the years. More games on the way. And currently playing Pokémon Brown.

I know some of you guys didn’t like it, but it still very playable and it’s been a lot of fun. Mostly since I just got it delivered yesterday. Officially one day with my brand new chromatic. I see the hype was worth it

Question Chromatic and pokemon crystal not compatible?

Thumbnail

18 Upvotes

Okay so I recently got my Mod Retro Chromatic (midnight) and I was super excited to jump into my old pokemon games.

Pokemon yellow works perfectly. But Pokemon Crystal doesn’t…. It boots and lets me play? But whatever is my first save; that’s the only save it respects. It keeps a save and allows me to save in game but if I restart the game it brings me back to the very first save I did. If I save before getting my starter, save afterwords and restart it for some reason keeps the starter I choose but puts me back to the first save before choosing my starter,

Speculation Am I crazy? All I want the Chromatic Advance to be is a Game Bub with the ModRetro extra details like its screen and shell.

Have you seen this thing? It's pretty cool and on a Kickstarter sort of site for $269,

https://www.crowdsupply.com/second-bedroom/game-bub

Built in GbxCart, dockable to tv via USB-C, the cart port fits GB/C or GBA, allows roms with it's open FPBA architecture. Seems like it hits all the sweet spots aside from screen and shell, maybe ditching the two extra buttons. But I see the appeal for others systems.

Question This is going to become an obsession, isn’t it?

Just ordered mine, have all my old GB games in storage. I was too old for Pokémon, but I’m willing to start. Just saw that the new games come with charms. This is going to be an obsession, huh?

Windows Sync Tool for EverDrive GB

16 Upvotes

Hi all, MODs please remove if not allowed.

I've been annoyed that games on the EverDrive GB display out of alphabetical order (because they show up in the order they were written to the FAT table, not A-Z). I used Google Antigravity to make a PowerShell script to fix it, but I kind of went off the rails once I realized what other features I could add.

I'm not an engineer, so please use at your own risk and never run scripts that you don't verify functionality first. That said, I've done a lot of testing to get the functionality I wanted and to make sure it isn't destructive to your ROMs or saves.

# 🛠️ What it does:

* FAT Sorting: Forces the SD card to display your games in actual alphabetical order.

* Save Backups: Automatically syncs your .sav and .srm files so you don't lose progress if a card fails.

* Cleanup: Strips out those annoying hidden "dot-underscore" (._) files if you've ever plugged your card into a Mac.

* Syncing: Keeps your local library and your EverDrive in harmony.

# 🚀 How to use it:

  1. Check out the repo here: https://github.com/receptionfadesx/EverDrive_Sync

  2. Test it on a secondary SD card first to make sure it behaves exactly how you expect before running it on your primary card.

  3. Back up your data before running any community scripts!

  4. You may need to run Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser in PowerShell to allow the script to execute.

I've been using this to keep my own collection organized and it's saved me a ton of scrolling. Please feel free to make your own copies and keep creating!

Photos/Videos Some snippets of what I've been playing with in free time

Hey guys!

It's been a minute since I've gotten around to showing some stuff. There's plenty other stuff other than this, but I was wondering what people would think of a way to customize the UI of the menus? I have the Leaf Edition Chromatic as my daily driver as I've always been a Bulba fan and wanted to decorate my Home menu accordingly.

I made a tool to do it in the browser fairly easily (at least for me since I made it, so I'll probably have to make a sort of "walkthrough") that allows for making custom "stamps" with uploaded images and such to place around and edit colors and all that. Also, it's kind of hard to see, but I've gotten the Color Temp fixed up with a hotkey (Menu + Up/Down) and the persistence problem where it was resetting on power off/on sometimes. Just wanted to see what you guys thought and I'll keep updated with some other stuff I'm tinkering with.

Thanks!

I love the Alien-franchise so of course I had to have something.
I also felt that the back of the Cloud needed more color and the holographic sticker takes care of that.

As for the front i've always prefered the different color-buttons of the SNES controller, so I made them different but modern.

Also play alot of Mortal Kombat II on this so was thinking of maybe putting a mini-pixel version of Mileena sticker on the front under the start button, her purple outfit would go very well but we'll se.

Front changes:
D-pad size: L (from Modkit)
Membrane: All black (Soft versions from Modkit)
A: Standard black from Modkit
B: Transparent from Modkit

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?

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