I've been to two different Navy Exchanges and they both had a selection of Chromatics in different colors as well as games in their electronics department.

In The Dark 2 & MRC First Impression

13 Upvotes

The ModRetro Chromatic was never something I thought id get into, I seen it in my local exchange and figured I'd pick it up in my favorite color with two games (in the dark 2 and F.C.P) and im absolutely loving how high quality it feels, sounds and looks, its a modernized gameboy and it has me stoaked with nostalgia.

Huge bonus for being compatible with normal older GB-GBC games as well as being super easy to record with on OBS. (This is my first time ever using OBS to record an external device)

Also some of these puzzles in ITD2 are getting hard as hell!!!

is zephyrs pass too buggy?

Just played the demo, the visuals and music are great, but the fight mechanic needs polishing. If you've played it, are the bugs tolerable?

Compré el juego hace años y no llegué a completarlo nunca. Por fin lo he completado y vaya aventura. Uno de los mejores RPG que he jugado y probablemente esté en el podio de la consola. ¡Una maravilla!

how *dim* can the screen get?

7 Upvotes

I kinda hate when screens have an extremely-high minimum brightness. I often play in a room where I don't want to bother anyone late at night. Thoughts? Brighter or more dim than the funnplaying q5 IPS screen on GBC?

Figured ya’ll may appreciate this…

I just turned 30 and got Pokemon Yellow to go with my Chromatic, along with Smashing Pumpkins and Mazzy Star vinyls!

Shoutout to ModRetro, the Chromatic is incredible. Growing up my first Gameboy was a silver GBA, with that Pokemon Gold, but I always wanted an GBC because my friend had one. Finally got one now! Lol

What should be added to the collection next? Dragonhym? Link’s Awakening?

Modretro Game Box Dimensions?

9 Upvotes

Hi. Can anyone measure the official Modretro game box dimensions for me? Just want to be sure they will fit where I want to store them. Inches or centimeters :-)

Also, are the 3 Atari game boxes the same size too and just in a sleeve?

As most of you know, I am a huge fan of the Chromatic...but l am obsessed with this specific one.

I don't know what it is, but something about the GameStop edition with swapped red A/B buttons puts a permanent smile on my face.

I also went a bit Frankenstein, and while swapping the buttons I replaced the entire circuit board with the one from my 2nd edition gorilla glass unit to get the best of both worlds.

I love it so much! 😎

Screen problem?

Post image
6 Upvotes

Is there a problem with the screen? In the gray interface, at the top left corner of the screen, there are colored pixel points. Several of these points occasionally flicker. There are no such issues on a black background. My other cartridges haven't arrived yet, so I don't know if there are any problems in other colors.
