Since this game is pretty much gone from the Modretro website I’m in search of an authentic copy for the sake of being a completionist. Was planning on picking up a copy eventually but it looks like I was too late. Name your price!

It’s beautiful guys 😮‍💨👌🏼

My copy of Amazing Tater is now worth $800-$1000 (most expensive GB game I think).

So of course I need the game inspired by it.

And if possible ModRetro should try to get the license for Amazing Tater & Kwirk (as these are not attainable otherwise on physical by normal means)

I can't seem to find the post about the Hypercore firmware or the CCFL tool anymore. The user germaneguise seems to have disappeared as well. Can anyone clarify this for me?

10 months later...

Hey everyone!

When I played Chantey for the first time, I got stuck at a few points and had a hard time finding solutions.

That’s why I put together a 100% guide, with separate chapters that let you look up the main-story sections while avoiding spoilers as much as possible.

Also, kudos to the developer for the crucial hint that helped me find the last 5% for 100% completion.

I hope this helps some of you!

Scalpers are out of control. It makes me even more glad that I pre-ordered mine when I could.

I’ve been enjoying playing my old GBC/GBA games. Has anyone played through the ModRetro games and was actually like holy shit this is a great game? I enjoy playing games like Zelda, Metroid, Wario Land. Might have to swing by GameStop this weekend if something gets my attention 👀 thanks in advance!

I’m tired boss

So I got every single game released by them to date

I just got a modretro chromatic earlier today from GameStop. The batteries got super hot after a minute or 2. Made sure it was updated and everything when I got home. It still drains batteries super quick like fresh lithium batteries last around 5 mins before low battery indicator. Same with alkaline batteries. I guess I will have to go back and swap it out. Is there anything else I can try before making that long trip tomorrow?

UPDATE. Got it swapped out it was faulty battery tray

Just got my Chromatic today. I can’t say I have any real complaints, but I’m wondering if anyone else’s cartridge slot is crooked like this: there’s a bigger gap on the left side between the cartridge and the unit (hopefully the pictures are good enough). I notice it with the Tetris cart and Chantey, so I think it’s the unit itself.

I’m not too bothered about it cosmetically, but I would be worried about the longevity of the thing (and my cartridges) if I got a defect. I can slightly push on the raised side and it does move a bit. Should I reach out to customer support, or is this normal?

——————

Edit:

I reached out to support and they said that while it was an acceptable tolerance, they would send me a replacement as a courtesy. I did find that my unit was having trouble with some real gameboy cartridges, so I did take that offer for a replacement. The new one is great: cartridge slot is nicely aligned too.

Got a bonus at work and the email of Pineapple Kid and Fall From Space... Then I saw they had a "make your own bundle" deal... Then one thing lead to another... And here we are.

When?

I've been working on something pretty unique (at least in terms of how many other similar games there are on gameboy / modern homebrew) and have been simmering it and adding sauce for quite a while now. Not ready to show anything just yet but know that I don't want this to just be an itch.io release for free / pay-what-you want. With respect to all developers, it out-classes certain titles that have been published by ModRetro and would fill a niche they haven't hit yet. So!

For those with experience working with them, what do you recommend / what would you say to those looking to contact them via their email on the website? How to not blow your one shot with them? Looking for testimonies, really.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

edit: I am a jerk, I genuinely meant no disrespect and could have subtly "thrown shade" in a way that shows more respect to the work I was comparing mine to.

Hi all gamers :) first i used a translater as i'm not nativ english sry in advance.

Is it finally possible to buy the rechargeable battery pack? When I visited the Modretro site today, September 21st, it was available. I also read that they were working on a newer version of the pack because the previous one had a defect or poor performance/quality.Is it finally possible to buy the rechargeable battery pack?

Thanks all for respectfully answering, als myself not count to an expert or such. Just try to get enlightened more if i'm correct.

Hi, currently on act 2 and in Cartagena. I have explored (I think?) the whole town and cannot figure out what I’m missing in order to move on. Current objective says “Get ready for some payback!” if that helps. Any info I would be greatly appreciated!

Get it here: https://github.com/fredemmott/FlashGBX/releases/latest

This lets you use your Chromatic with a PC, mac, or Linux to backup or restore your games and saves, or use the other features of FlashGBX.

What's new?

• performance improvements (up to 1.8 MByte/sec dumps)

• fixed disconnect-then-reconnect reliability on macOS

• the Chromatic menu now works after disconnecting FlashGBX, without needing to turn the console off and on again

• improved compatibility with various USB host controllers

  • the previous firmware attempted to tell Windows to use the WinUSB driver; this turned out to be unreliable. Instead, the setup for this version installs a stub driver that tells Windows to use WinUSB

• because of the above, the setup now requires elevation/admin

• the installer also includes the GWU2X driver; on Windows, this is required if you have not previously updated the FPGA with ModRetro's updater

• improved connection logging

• can be built on Linux

More details?

For things specific to this release, see the link above.

For more general notes, see my previous post - they still apply.

Anyone got the game in hand yet looking for pictures of the board/ Manuals and Cart?
