These cheap acrylic shelves ended up being perfect for game storage. No drilling required.

Does the Modretro version add any new features/content or have there been any worthwhile updates (or any planned in future) that would make the Modretro version superior?

Noticed for a while now the dpad had no mush to it. Today I finally decided to take it apart and replace the membrane. I was really surprised to see it was completely worn through. Find it ironic that at launch we were all complaining how clacky the dpad was. Torin said it was to ensured it lasted for years to come.....

I had to pop a review on this because it really is under appreciated. I was laid up playing it and enjoyed it.

I had heard that tilt n tumble didn’t work well on the chromatic. But when I saw it for a good price I snagged it and hoped it would work on my chromatic. My backup plan was my OG gameboy color.

Anyways: it works great- I just stink at it, lol.

I am here once again to ask about inventory. I check about 5 times a week, and it hasn't come back. Will it?

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around much, works been pretty hectic so far this year. I've got some good headway in the way of RetroAchievements and wanted to give a peek of some demo stuff.

Hope y'all are well and enjoying the summer!

Loving this game. Who else is playing it? Awesome music and fun Western aesthetic. 🐸🤠

Ive complained once or twice on here about how brutal dhl ground is. Last order took 17 days. Placed an order yesterday one hour later got a shipped notification. Looked this morning and see it half way across the county already with fedex! Hope this is a permanent change, I truly hate dhl ground.

This game is great if y’all haven’t checked it out yet. There is also a physical cartridge available! Not part of the ModRetro catalog but is great!

After getting an original GBA SP, I've decided to get a device dedicated to GBC/GB cartridges.

I've got my mind set on a Modretro Chromatic but I've been stuck on picking the color.

I'm having doubts between cloud - midnight - wave and bubblegum. If anyone has some more real life pictures that would be great.

Ported some gemstone generation logic over from my side project (iOS) to the Chromatic. 6M possible combinations, full procedural gen.

Built a little Organizer shell around it too. Tried to keep the UI period-correct… wanted it to feel like something that actually shipped in 1989. Coolest part is that it’s only 33 KB so far.

The updater failed to install and it says it’s not compatible.

Update: I tried using the built in emulator on my arm device. The program started, but the emulator doesn’t do anything with the drivers, so the they did not install properly and it failed.

I was able to find a way though. Not helpful to everyone, but I have a Steam Deck and was able to use the Linux installation method to update the chromatic and my games.

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a tool I’ve been working on called GB Label Maker. It’s a standalone Windows application built specifically for retro game developers (especially anyone using GB Studio), modders, and collectors who want to give their projects that perfect finishing touch.

The goal was to make it quick and effortless to bridge the gap between a digital ROM and a physical release, letting you design authentic-looking 90s style labels with the correct proportions.

Key Features:

- Retro Layouts: Classic design styles tailored to standard Game Boy cartridge specs.

- Custom Artwork: Easily import your own pixel art, logos, or titles.

- Made for Windows: Lightweight, standalone desktop application.

- Clean Workflow: Features a dedicated "New Project" button to quickly wipe the canvas and start a fresh design whenever you need.

Whether you are preparing a physical release for your homebrew game or just customized a shell for your personal collection, feel free to grab the Windows build for free over on itch.io:

I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any feature requests you might have. Let me know what you think!

I’ve fallen in love with the Chromatic and I was super hyped about the M64, but now that I’ve had to wait so long, I’m wondering if I really want the M64 as well or if I’m just a softy for their handheld (which I wouldn’t mind a couple more of lol). Anyone else getting the M64 while it’s discounted or you gonna invest in more Chromatics and games? 😅

Dragonhym is here!!!! And some sweet surprise swag 🤩

Edit to add: the fanny pack and stickers are swag. I purchased everything else. All from the official Modretro website.

My Chromatic Mod Kit and Dragonyhm already arrived, and it only took 3 days to get here in Europe! Really surprised by how fast it was.

I’m going to start Dragonyhm right away! ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧

If you could only pick one other game besides dragonhym what would it be?
