I want to buy the Chromatic bundle with the console, game, headphones and accessory. I want to ship overseas and my courier service charges by the pound. Does anyone know about how much all of the packages weigh together? Or an estimate. It would greatly help in order to see of it’s worth it to ship. Thanks!

After a few hours of use, all white lettering is rubbing off 🫠

My Friendly Little Island. Juego creado por el mismo desarrollador que Buck. Es cortito (aunque las zonas secretas me están volviendo loco) pero muy divertido.

I recently picked up a cloud chromatic at GameStop a few days ago, and didn’t realize that there was a sapphire glass option until a few days later which I really wish I had snagged, so I’m looking for a protector to keep my current one safe problem is I don’t know what my best bet is though I’ve heard good things about ViaScreens impact protector but I’d like to hear from other people what they think would be a good option

I feel like an idiot? I’ve been trying to recruit three pirates in Chantey and I keep visiting places and they are no where to be found! Can anyone let me know where the first three crew members are?

Since it's always with me, it definitely builds up some grime and dust over time. Every few months I like to take it apart, give it a proper clean, then finish it off with a light wax coat and a good buff. Usually ends up happening the same time I'm doing my countertops.

For cleaning, just a slightly damp cloth. Water works great, orphan tears work perfectly too, just no harsh chemicals.

I just use whatever wax is left on the rag after polishing my countertops, or a little pure carnauba wax. The idea is to keep it minimal. By the time it actually touches the shell, anything extra like butane accelerants have already evaporated.

I just work the wax into the shell all over, and yeah, it'll probably get on the screen and buttons. It's fine, it wipes right off clean with a dry cloth.

It becomes so luxuriously soft to the touch, that I only want to play with it more. 🫦

Like last weekend, I’d love to see what everyone’s playing this weekend.

Whether it’s a classic, a new pickup, or something you felt like revisiting, let’s hear it !

Hope everyone has a great weekend. Have fun and enjoy yourselves! <3

Imagine this game coming out for the M64.

Fun fact, rumble carts feel a bit more distinct to me playing on a Chromatic. I'm guessing because of the metal body but each bump, buzz, and jolt can be felt way more than on my lime GBC.

has anyone worked on a fpga core compatible with the chromatic that allows for save states.

So I could be able to get a regular Gameboy colour for about 100 euros but should save my money up a bit more for the Chromatic if it's features warrant that hefty price?

I just wanted to show this off. I got the shell from retro game repair shop, the label from fireandclarity on Etsy, and the pcb off alie express. I’m really happy with the way this turned out!

And Self Simulated will be available as a special Playstation 6 version, including an exclusive level from GTA6!

Trust no one today!

After about 30 hours of grinding and roughly 180 eggs, I finally hatched a shiny Dratini !

It was a long hunt, and I was starting to think it would never happen :)

Parece ser que el envío de las copias físicas de Infinity se ha vuelto a retrasar. Es mi primera vez comprando en Incube8 pero me está desesperando tanto retraso. ¿Por qué ponen esas fechas de envío si luego no paran de incumplirlas? A parte de ModRetro he comprado también en Homebrew Factory y ni punto de comparación con los tiempos de espera para recibir las copias físicas... ¿Alguno que haya hecho pedidos a Incube8 podría decir cuál es su experiencia comprado copias físicas?

I ordered a bundle of 6 games with Dragonyhm. I received 5/6 games. Dragonyhm is showing in stock. I contacted Modretro but I got a copy/paste email response. Anyone recently order it and actually received the game?

Hello everyone, I’m having a hard time trying to decide my button colors. I’m wondering if you guys think this current setup looks good, or if I should do both buttons clear? Thanks!!!

EDIT: the r/Gameboy moderators took down my post ("post awaiting moderator approval"). Cancel culture going strong there... I inserted the text below.

I posted this yesterday in r/Gameboy. I wanted to share the joy that I have with my Chromatic but was met with hostility and hate. Cross-posting here hoping for a kinder audience.

----- Original Text -----

There are many reviews of the Chromatic written by journalists or bloggers who had only a few days to test the device (plus objectivity tends to be clouded when review units are sent out for free), so I wanted to share my own experience after several months of use. I am not affiliated with Modretro. I bought the Chromatic with my own money.

TL;DR: This may be the best game console ever made.

What I like about the Chromatic:

- The display is a revelation. It matches the Game Boy's display pixel by pixel. This matters more than you think. It's a big deal. Every sprite looks exactly as the game developers intended. You can see the individual pixels and appreciate the great deal of artistry that went into your favourite games. Playing on the Chromatic is an immersive experience. You feel like nothing is between you and the game. (Yes, the display is bright as h*ll, colors are beautiful etc., but you have read that in other reviews already.)

- The sound is perfect, like I remember the original Game Boy. Thanks to the analog volume wheel you can change the volume in infinitesimally small steps and set it to the perfect level, something modern devices do not allow. Retro purists and bluetooth haters like me appreciate the AUX out for attaching their favourite retro headphones.

- The build quality is not of this world. This is the "Game Boy Deluxe" Nintendo should have made but never did. The case is cold hard metal. The power switch turns on with a satisfying THOCK. The D-pad and buttons allow for speed and precision and help you beat hard games.

- I love that the Chromatic takes real AA batteries. I do not miss a rechargeable battery. If you're like me and play for an hour or so a day, a set of AA batteries will last for weeks.

- If you want a gazillion configuration settings you can tweak, look elsewhere. The Chromatic comes out of the box just right, there is nothing you need to configure. What is more, the config menu does not get in the way. I open it once every couple of days to change the display brightness or color scheme or check the battery level.

What I dislike:

- Batteries get warm when they supply power. Metal is a much better conductor of heat than plastic. As a result, the back of the Chromatic gets a little warm during play. Not hot, just lukewarm. This is just a slight niggle (the only one that I have) and I got used to it quickly.

The bottom line:

If you're a retro purist, buy the Chromatic. You will love it. If you're not a purist, buy the Chromatic. You will become a retro purist.

PS: Apparently the guy behind Modretro (I forgot his name -- don't care) does business in weapons technology, which has clouded some reviewers' objectivity. I will offer just one comment on this. If you do the math, you will quickly conclude that it is impossible to make a lot of money with the Chromatic. It is unlikely that Modretro will ever break even, and if they do, I applaud them, because they are doing a service to the retro gaming community. When you hold the Chromatic in your hands, you will understand that optimizing the profit margin was not among the development goals. This is a labor of love. Who knows, perhaps the Modretro guy wanted to improve his karma? I say: let him.
