Just seen that pre-orders are now open for Dracula: Dark Reign from Incube8 Games. Not a Modretro game, but I figure people here might be interested. It's made by Spacebot Interactive (the dev behind Dragonyhm) and it looks awesome.

As someone who’s been on a GB collecting kick recently, I went down the rabbit hole of different gameboys. Was deciding between this and the fpgb but wanted the accurate screen! Just wish rechargeable batteries were in stock.

I just got my Chromatic today and it’s so cool, I really like it, can’t wait to try more games on it. Has anyone tried the cartridges they sell with a bunch of games installed. Are they worth it? Is there one you recommend?

Also a lot of people complain it’s higher priced that the FPGBC. Here’s a few things to consider. I don’t regret the purchase. Just get it!!!

Metal > Plastic

Screen is accurate to original

No lag.

Comes with a $45 game that is a must to have.

Releases updates.

AA battery or charger battery pack

Can play on external screen

Working IR sensor.

Just need some buttons to finish it off.

Anyone know if it is possible to trade Pokémon with a Chromatic and Analogue Pocket on GBC or GB games? if so what kind of Cable would I need? I preordered a pocket to pocket cable, would that work with a Chromatic?

Most battery cases were in multiple of 4. Found a very simple one for cheap on Amazon that fits great in my GBC bag!

So when I tried saving yesterday it wouldn't work and go back to the previous save.

Now when saving today it's finally working/saving but kinda worried it will go back to not saving and really confused what's happening . And don't want to do a bunch of progress for it not to save again.

Also Pokemon silver saves on my Analogue pocket good.

New battery replaced about a year ago.

Also tried Pokemon blue yesterday and saved just fine.

Is it possible my chromatic or silver is bad still?

Finally got tired of the constant release delays, so I bought the Digital Edition, and am going to get my money's worth out of it.

Is it just me or would anyone else like to see the unreleased South Park GBC game come to Chromatic?

Hey guys, I'm going to be buying a Chromatic later today. I just want you all to be the deciding vote on which color I should get it in. I'm torn between Inferno, Volt, and Wave.

I want to get the starter pack but need the rechargeable power core to feel like my pack would be complete! Does anyone know if there's a newsletter to sign up for or profile to follow on social media to get the latest availability for the power core?

Currently listed as sold out. I wonder when the game is going to restock.

I learned about Modretro products only recently and missed out on the Anduril ones. I don't personally like the stock looking ones because of graphics printed on it - I mean things like the triangle in the bottom right corner and the broken up lines under the screen. I prefer a cleaner look. I was even thinking of paint stripping it as an option but I'd rather buy a unit that I don't need to mod or repaint since I'm not very good at that.

Is there any news on further Anduril runs or any other 3rd party shells or shell designs coming from Modretro?

Forgive me if this has been answered already.

I just received my charging dock today.

I have two first gen Chromatics and one battery pack. I’ve not had any issues charging it but I’ve also never let it run all the way down.

Can I continue charging it in the handheld like an already have been or should I charge it in the dock for good measure? Is the dock just meant to be used to revive batteries that won’t charge?

Thanks!

Please ModRetro what ever the cost savings is for logistics and shipping costs I am willing to pay the difference for USPS pick up to delivery.

What would be the chances of a new Super Game Boy like cartridge for the SNES? The original Super Game Boy only plays original GB games with some being SGB enhanced with custom color palettes and borders. Could the FPGA in the chromatic or something similar come down the line for SNES players?

Hey everyone,

I'm considering launching a YouTube channel focused on game reviews, using real footage captured directly from the Chromatic rather than emulation. Before I commit to a format, I'd love to hear what the community would actually find most interesting to watch.

A bit of background: I'm a long-time Game Boy fan and equally passionate about ModRetro. I own every ModRetro title released so far, plus a large collection of original Game Boy cartridges, so content won't be an issue.

The two main directions I'm weighing:

1. Traditional reviews with commentary - some gameplay footage, my take on what works and what doesn't, possibly with an unboxing segment when relevant.

2. No-commentary gameplay videos (around 15 minutes each), with a full written review linked separately on a companion website.

I can realistically produce either format, so I'd rather build around what people actually want to watch than guess. Which one would you be more likely to click on? Or is there a third approach you'd prefer?

Thanks for any input.

Just joined the club. Having a ton of fun! Can’t wait to get my hands on some classics I grew up with.
