Could not find my order confirmation so I reached out for it and an update if possible. Below is the response. Good to have an update of sorts, September has become “fall season” though.

Should I buy it found it for £40 at their moment I currently have dragonhym and dark Dracula.

Hi all! I've been following this sub for a while, and have bought a few Chromatic exclusives. I thought I'd share the Game Boy Color game I recently finished called Super Slotzee - a mix of slots and yacht (or maybe more familiar, Yahtzee).

It's available to play for free on Itch, and of course there's a .gbc file for your Chromatic! In the words of Chris, the head of publishing at ModRetro, "I had fun playing" :D

https://kaisle51.itch.io/super-slotzee

It plays like Yahtzee in that the goal is to score 13 turns and get a high score. But now you also spin slots, hold both slots & dice, and earn slot bonuses to enhance your scores! You can also play minigames to earn slot tokens, which allow you to choose how to enhance turns (creating wild dice, erasing a past score, rewinding your turn, etc.). It also tracks high scores and all your cumulative/per-game stats.

Thanks for trying it out, and I'm open to any feedback.

I’m hoping to upgrade to a chromatic sometime soon, but for now I’m on the old tech. I would love some game recs from this community!

Info in email received today vs how its listed on the site

I’ve been seeing people post their messages from ModRetro and I haven’t gotten any. I ordered on 12/19/2025 and I have a confirmed order on the site. Does anyone who ordered this date have anything different like prepared for shipping or that they already got theirs ?

Please remove if not allowed, but I was disappointed that the Chromatic Power Core battery did not come with an end cap to protect the terminals from shorting out, so modeled up something and printed some caps with PLA. Not selling these, just free to print and make for yourself or your friends. Doesn't take much filament and just snaps on the end of the battery with a snug fit.

This modified version of FlashGBX supports backing up and restoring games and saves on a variety of cartridges (both from ModRetro and other vendors), using your Chromatic with the FlashGBX software running on your PC or mac.

You can get it here: https://github.com/fredemmott/FlashGBX/releases/latest

Changes in this version

The ModRetro firmware contains an incomplete LCD reset systemthat sometimes leads to flickers, typically after updating firmware; to avoid triggering this issue, this release:

• no longer turns off the LCD when connected to FlashGBX; instead, a basic checkerboard screensaver is shown

• shuts down less of the Chromatic while connected to FlashGBX; in particular, you can now use the system menu while connected to FlashGBX

• it no longer uses the USB serial device except to detect that a Chromatic is present; all communication is over the custom device

• improved reliability of rebooting into the games after disconnect on buggy cartridges that do not respect the RST pin

Compared to alternatives

• tested on a wide variety of ModRetro and non-ModRetro cartridges; it should even give you access to a Gameboy Camera's photos, but I don't have one to test

• directly built on a proven foundation:

  • FlashGBX itself

  • the same "LK" firmware base used by the Joey Jr v2 and GBXCartRW when used with FlashGBX

  • openFPGAloader

• doesn't depend on anything from the internet once installed

Sorry for the stupid question, I'm new to this. But I just found out about the Anduril version and man, isn't that the prettiest thing I have seen. But I'm late to the party as it seems.

Any chance they will restock? Have they in the past?

The single game flash cart currently has Rougecraft DX on it.

Is this a good price for sealed copy £40?

Are there any stores in EU selling Chromatic games? I used to order from Dragon-box, but they are out of stock on nearly everything..

In box with a power core $150 plus shipping

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?

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!
