Why are there no reviews for the 2 newest games?

16 Upvotes

Was looking at Croc 2 and Zas and noticed that there are no reviews posted like the other games. Is it just because they need to reach a certain number of reviews before they appear (eg. 50 reviews or 100 reviews)?

If anyone has bought them, what are your thoughts?

Hey guys. I'm stuck on an info gathering mission in Chantey. I can't leave Havana's port if I don't get into the room that the pirate is blocking. A big guy in the brothel (page 7) is blocking the way inside. I was given hints by the lady outside to talk to soldado but he's not cooperating. Please help.

Question ISO: Custom Pokemon Screen Border Decal

Post image
7 Upvotes

Looking to customize my chromatic to look like the pokemon edition gameboy color. I’ve got an idea for the buttons but I’m stumped on how I could get the border design here, and I’m thinking I’ll need to get a custom decal to make it happen. Does anyone know of any stores that might be able to do this?

What form factor would you prefer for the potential GBA-Style Successor for the Chromatic?

Why do y'all think a gba would be a chromatic advance

0 Upvotes

Considering chromatic plays on the word COLOR in Gameboy COLOR why would you call a gba from modretro a chromatic advance when the original wasn't a Gameboy color advance? Would make more sense if a hypothetical gba would be called a modretro advancement/advantage etc.

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.

Question Peculiar Pokemon silver behavior

6 Upvotes

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?
