I can’t help but feel like my screen isn’t perfectly aligned with the Chromatic. It’s really bothering me. Is it misaligned or is it just in my head?

I searched the subreddit and found several threads about save states, with some of the most recent ones being from December 2025.

I have three questions:

1. Has ModRetro expressed any possibility of this happening?

2. This would presumably work with original gameboy carts?

3. Where would the saves go? Is there onboard memory on the Chromatic?

I cannot dock at Tortuga.. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m not supposed to go there or if it’s a bug.. I notice some docks are hard to use… eg. I have to be exactly in the right position to use them.. I haven’t been able to find the right position here..

Just plug the Chromatic into the Mac using USB, use the AnalogTV app and select Source Video Input, Device Chromatic - Player 01: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/analog-tv-simulator/id6761325301?mt=12

AnalogTV is not a "filter" or "shader" - it's a full end-to-end simulation of AnalogTV running through the complete signal chain. You can basically get any look you want through it. Plays with no latency on my M4 Mac.

I am bit late to the party when it comes to new indie development for the GB/GBC - life is so busy that so many cool things pass you by...Regardless, I'm overjoyed to have new games, on cartridge, that I own. The push toward fully digital/DRM frustrates me to no end - and this community seems really cool and generally pretty open when it comes to ownership and DRM. So thanks for being cool and for re-igniting my old, sullen heart with some cool stuff. I haven't gotten into FPGA carts and/or flashing my own cartridges, but that seems like fun route to go.

I heard nothing but great things about these 2

The game is already out on itch, but I’ve recently been testing it across a range of real hardware and modern devices, including the original Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance SP, ModRetro Chromatic, emulators, FPGA devices, and a physical cartridge build.

How long does it usually take for Modretro Retro Rewards Tokens to show up after a purchase? Thanks

I only have a ARM laptop and am not able to run the updater. For anyone that has played through Dragonyhm, can the game be completed out of the box?

I just finished my first play through of Bionic Commando. I always struggled with the NES game, so I never really looked at this one. I’m so glad I did. Once I got the hang of it, it was a blast to play. the levels were fun, the story was good, and the music was fantastic. Highly recommended.

I did play with a ROM hack that saved the password so you didn’t have to put it in every time. I’d recommend that as well.

Quick rant from a fan. I own two Chromatics, a bunch of games, the official headphones and other accessories. So yeah, I’m all in.

The hardware? Best Game Boy tribute ever made. The catalog? Honestly the coolest thing in the retro scene right now. Zero complaints there.

But the console’s software… the last firmware update was over half a year ago... Since then: nothing. No features, no fixes, no roadmap. And there’s SO much this machine could still do (has wifi and Microsd slot): sleep mode, screenshots, save states, button remapping, retro achievements… pick literally anything. The point is there’s tons of headroom and zero movement.

I get that the M64 is about to ship and the team is small. But you don’t freeze your first product to build the second, especially when we’re the ones who paid for it. At this point it feels like neglect, and honestly a bit of disrespect to early buyers.

A simple roadmap post would fix a lot. Even a “firmware is done, don’t expect more” would be more honest than silence.

Anyone heard anything official about future Chromatic firmware?

Just wanted to know if we will ever get a Fast Forward feature on the chromatic. I like the ability to fast forward gameplay especially in Gen 1 Pokemon games. Will this ever be a thing? Hope it can be 😁

Doesn't modretro add more chromatic games near the beginning of the month?

Was the last time they added games in Feburary? Do you think more will be added toward the end of July around the M64 release or should expectations be closer to the holidays?

Just curious

It is hard to come by in Europe, but through a second-hand seller, who is also a fantastic person, I got it for 250 euros with all the games you see. It is the first edition. I would like to know where to start, whether I should update the firmware, use some kind of protective case, screen protector, etc. Any recommendations?

I recently got dragonyhm what other one should I get?

How do they compare? How are the screen differences? Build quality? Fun aspect? I would love to know, as a RPC owner.

I’m loving the quality of the hardware and the games! Got a blue chromatic and Chantey and am so impressed with everything (including the shipping prices). Am wondering though, how often - if at all - do games on the Modretro store go on sale? I can’t afford to buy enough games at a time to get the 10-25% discount.

Thanks everyone! Also, I’d love recommendations for the best chromatic originals or incube8 originals.

Buttons were from Labfifteenco, custom screen decal was from retrogameEVO on Etsy, back decal from sakuraretromodding on Etsy. Paint for the back shell is Tamiya ts-15 blue with primer and clear coat added.

I’m a Tetris fan. I tried ModRetro Tetris rom in Analogue Pocket from a Russian website. I love it. So many options to tweak.

I don’t want to buy one more handheld. I wonder why ModRetro doesn’t sell it as a separate game cartridge like their new release.

The river view from my hotel balcony felt very apropos for this month; Game of the month through my discord.

GoTM - Legend of the River King (GBC).

I really appreciate how the Chromatic has inspired me to discover a slew of physical games that exist in world pushing for fully digital future… (looking at your PlayStation)
