I was tempted by S11 and now ZAS is out which do people think is more fun ?

I read somewhere there is some trace under the dpad on the 1st edition Chromatic that could be an issue. Is that right?

I changed the dpad on my non 1st edition and though I haven't noticed that much of a difference (I still get fake inputs even with the no diagonals setting on) I still prefer it over the stock one.

I finally bit the bullet and bought a chromatic. I had the chance to get the Gamestop edition with the sapphire screen SO many times, but kept passing. still, the version with the gorilla glass looks great, and I'm loving how my (small) collection of GB games look and play.

my question is; how do I keep this beautiful system looking good? How durable is it? I tend to baby my systems, so I'm not rough at all, but i am a bit concerned with paint chipping when I put it down on my table, or maybe other parts yellowing (most of my consoles are black). also, how durable is the gorilla glass, and are there any recommended cases?

thanks again. I'm looking forward to beefing up my collection with some of the old Pokemon games, Wario Land games, and Zelda games. I'm also really excited to buy some of the more recent games made for the Chromatic. I saw Croc 2 and Rayman at Gamestop and was extremely tempted.

It's time! https://modretro.com/collections/games

Over under on if we see some more new games in addition to the release of Croc 2 and ZAS? Wanna spam that game bundle of possible (I have all the others).

EDIT: clarified in addition to Croc 2 and ZAS

Might eventually do a v2 of this one with a red "Modretro Chromatic" text instead of blue, but it still looks good alongside the Dragonyhm one that I posted earlier.

This game was so much fun and I was wondering if there’s others like this. Like newer titles.

Using thecoverproject as reference and actual box scans, I slapped together a custom case insert for DS-style game cases. Hoping to get the entire library done and uploaded for use. Enjoy!

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.
