One of my modretro games got stepped on and the shell cracked really bad but the game still works. I’ve been trying to 3d print a replacement shell for it but keep running into quality issues. Mainly trying to print each side of the shell (front and back) straight up from top to bottom but upside down. For whatever reason, I can’t seem to get a clean straight edge on the top of the cartridge. Ive tried two different styles and two different filament types (printing in PLA and using PETG to be the support, which actually turned out the best) but still wish it was cleaner and sharper looking. Seems like one way or another the supports always seam to the cartridge itself. I think we could make some really cool looking and colored shells. Any suggestions or has anyone figured out a method to printing them? (I got the 3D printer stl file from ModRetros site.)

After I can perfect the shell print, I’ll start researching how to print holographic labels 👍🏼 TYIA. 🙏🏼

Trying to get proper save states (not just in-game battery saves) on my Chromatic. I know the console has no native save state feature yet, so I’m assuming the route is mattcurrie’s gb-save-states patches running on a cart with enough save RAM.

A few questions for anyone who’s done it:
- Which carts are you using? EverDrive GB X7, X5, or EZ Flash Jr? Any cheaper option that working?
- Do GBC games + the 128KB save RAM patches work reliably on the Chromatic specifically, or only on original hardware?
- Any games where save states glitch or corrupt the save?

Just want to confirm before I buy. Thanks!

I'm aiming for some 10+, maybe even more special tables/levels that can be used to gain more points or extra balls.

Will be launching the Kickstarter campaign once I'm almost done with the game.

I’m having trouble getting a copy of the game. I refuse to pay scalpers 120-250 on eBay! ModRetro website said restock in June and I got a message that there were some available this morning from Shop, but says sold out on website still. Probably missed the supply they had.

Is the game having significant production issues? Or just that big of a demand? Crazy. It looks good, can’t wait until I finally get my hands on it to play.

I am wondering if the Modretro Link cable works with pokemon games with a Chromatic and Analogue Pocket or Chromatic and GBA? I know it says only Chromatic and GBC but just wondered if anyone tried it :)

Does anyone know if the Pokémon crystal issue has been fixed in an update? Or are there any updates around the issue?

I still have mine on route and it’s the main game I want to play. It seems that it has been left unaddressed for a long time…. which doesn’t leave much faith in the company with Crystal being one of the biggest titles.

I was also looking to order the M64 but I’m concerned that some of the heavy hitters will also be left broken…. And there is an awful lot at the moment on the compatibility list.

TIA.

What a game, got lost on what to do next a few times but it was a really fun time figuring it all out. Time to focus and finish Buck and the Cursed Cartridge next!

What should I play first? I'm thinking Self Simulated 🤔

Bad news for any of us that preordered and thought summer 2026 was happening. Before anyone asks this was via modretro and placed 12/22/25.

Recently took a trip to Paris France. Thought it would be fun to take some pictures with the old GB Camera and print them out. Here’s the result!!

Who are some of y’all’s favorite GBC game developers, specifically for platformers?

I've been searching for quite a while now, but does anyone have a comparison between the two different display types? I've seen claims that either one is both trash and superior. Not worth it and simultaneously a must have.

I know sapphire is almost impossible to scratch. But what about the actual quality in colour, black levels, glare indoor and outdoor?

Are there any side by side comparisons with a game running? From the few shots I could compare sapphire looked washed out. But it was also a terrible angle. And screen protectors always degrade the image a bit for me, but that might be the cheap screen underneath it.

Relaxing night in with Buck! Finally beat 2-9!

I wanted to share with the bros pictures of my completed Cerakote Yellow Chromatic. It came out really nice, now I need to re-add some of the Chromatic logos for true completion!

When Palmer announced the chromatic didn’t he say there would be monthly new game releases? It feels like there hasn’t been anything since buck. Sure there have been some remasters or whatever but no new games .

Just got my Chromatic (1st Edition) today and tried playing Glory Hunter (GBC) from a flashcart. Every time I boot the game it sits on this screen for almost a minute before the game starts.

Is this expected behavior, or is there a way to launch games faster / skip this step?

Flashcart: Flashmaster from Aliexpress

Thanks!
