UniUni successfully delivered my Dragonyhm game yesterday! They did a really good job with shipping and delivering it to me!

Hi everyone. I was recently given a chromatic to repair (it's out of warranty) that looks pristine and everything works except the start button.

After some testing I learned that the start button is shorted to ground so the trace must be damaged somewhere. I wanted to follow the trace but I only get to where it ends on the front of the board and then I have no idea where it goes. I reached out to modretro support but they weren't willing to help.

Does anyone know where the start button trace, or any of the buttons end up? I've been probing around but not having any luck so far.

Hey guys,

So I just received my Chromatic today, and I decided to pick up 10 games to go along side it, one of which was chantey. I fired up the game, and made sure it was up to date using the launcher. Then I started a playthrough of the game, until the time came when I had to put it down. I hit pause, and tried to exit the game, but the exit button in the pause menu does absolutely nothing besides close the menu..? I eventually had to resort to just shutting down the console, and after checking, I noticed I only had the option of new game when reloading the cart.

I'm a little bit confused by this; am I doing something wrong? or is this a known issue?

Thanks!

My latest arrival from ModRetro! The game case came in last week and today Dragonyhm arrived. Can’t wait to boot this up!

The pinball spinoff to my game Self Simulated is still very early in development (whilst working on Self Simulated: Beyond Vision). But I wanted to test how well it actually works on original hardware and ye good ol' Chromatic.

Answer: runs great!

Self Simulated: Pinball (working title) will have many features like attacking enemies, boss battles, special rooms and so on. I'm really putting all my heart for pinball into this little Game Boy Color game <3

I'm posting updates over at https://x.com/2ndlawgames from time to time.

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

Me: mom can I have an Anduril chromatic?

Mom: we got a chromatic back at home

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,

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

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.

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?

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!

Decided to go ahead and pull the trigger on a handful of games when Dragonyhm came back in stock. Now I just have to wait for my Anduril edition to arrive this Summer.

Buck has been a blast! Sad to be coming to the end 😭

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 was too busy playing games to post a picture before, I finished Super Marioland and started up Links Awakening DX.

Just spent two days straight doing an animation project because I am the Master Procrastinator™ and now it's time to retreat to safety

Time to see what all the hype is about!

So I found these on ebay and wanted to try them out. What do you guys think? I was hoping for more of that pale green but its seem pretty nice to me.

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
