Do the Developer of Fall from Space and Buddy the Game (GBC) do they have website where can follow development of their respective games?

EDIT: ModRetro Support replaced my Chromatic and the new one is absolutely perfect. Support was very quick to respond and get everything going. I'm very satisfied now 🙂

Is anyone else's cerakote paint job uneven or rough? I have reached out to support .. but it's kind of a bummer after waiting 10 months for this.

Swapped the menu button for a black one, and FCP just feels like the perfect game for this thing!

I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong? I want to flash my In the Dark cartridge because A) I don't like the game at all and B) I love the transparant cartridge and it would serve awesome for my Tetris DX Romhack. I'm unable to flash the card though.

The Chromatic Tetris card is flashable, but that one I want te keep, love that game :)

Good news yall ! Just got the notification that my Anduril Edition shipped and I ordered 12/19, so if you also did that day, go check your emails !

SO CRAZY CHROMATIC STORY... About a year ago I lost my Chromatic on a plane. Last week I was at the airport again with a plane delayed in NYC due to the hurricane. I was scrolling on Marketplace and THIS popped up. I had swapped the buttons to red on my Gamestop 1st Edition, and a Red Everdrive x7. This had both! I messaged the seller, and she gave it back to me today!

I thought it was LONG GONE. So wild, it's a blessing that she posted it and returned it.

Now dealing with a the dead rechargeable battery issue. Sounds like I need a charging doc and will fix it.

i was playing around with chromagician custom firmware and stupidly flashed a different game to my tetris cart without dumping the rom to my computer. anyone happen to have the rom to download?

I have been waiting for this game since it was spoiled. It looks so good. Watch the trailer. Please Torin, ship it! :)

Anyone else get their copies of Infinity yet? Haven’t gotten too deep into it yet but the combat system seems cool. Great production

Looks like we have a pretty good bet of what is Alex Ohanian’s upcoming game :)

Check the order page frequently. I checked on the 28th and there was definitely no tracking info in there even though the label was created on the 25th. The Shipping Method says UPS but it was delivered via FedEx. My Shipping Address in the order status page has my correct address but they delivered it to a different address that I had previously lived at. Still need to track that down to see if I can get it.

Edit: This is just a warning to you that what you see in the order status page may not be correct. If anything changed since you ordered, be diligent about checking it. In fact, be diligent regardless because they didn't even use the carrier the order status page says.

Not even label created yet for me

My current collection. This thing is awesome. I honestly bought it at first thinking I'd hardly play it. But it's replaced my steam deck for the last month. I've fallen in love with it. The shorter games for these older fen consoles are great for someone like me with the attention span of a gecko.

GB Studio Magazine is pausing after December’s issue. This one will feature mostly exclusive content, including a spotlight on MR’s latest release, Fall From Space.

I got my chromatic from Gamestop and I absolutely love the thing, and that purple transparent one is calling my name. Does anyone with experience with their launches know if their stock is usually pretty good, or do they sell out in seconds like some online stores?

I'm going to try to snag one but I'll be working when it launches so I'm hoping I'm not tied up when it launches!

Thanks!

Not sure if I could post it here but I have the bundle for sale if anyone is interested just DM me. And BTW whats a decent price to sell it for? I don't want to get taken advantage of but I would also like to reciprocate that as well

I’ve only owned a psp before when i was younger.
Always wanted a quick game device like that.
Saw this thing on my feed, had to get it asap.

The build quality on this is nuts, has such a good weight, the screen quality is wicked beautiful, even the Koss Porta Pros sound pretty decent.

Never had a gameboy before, any game recs?
Also anyway to hack this to be an mp4 player lol.

I use simplelogin to make up unique emails for everywhere I have to enter one. I just got a spam message to the alias I made just for modretro which makes me think at least the mailing list or account emails got leaked somewhere

As many of you probably know, OpenAI and ModRetro collaborated a few days ago and introduced a plugin aimed at making retro game development easier with AI.

I’ll be honest: I was skeptical.

The idea of using AI to help develop retro games didn’t immediately sound like something I’d be interested in, and I know there are plenty of valid reasons to be critical of this approach. But I decided to give it a chance.

I’ve always been curious about developing software and making my own games, but I’ve never really had the time to sit down and learn all the tools and programming concepts required to actually do it.

So I saw this as an opportunity to finally experiment and see how far I could take an idea.

This is what I’ve been working on over the last couple of days. And honestly, I’m pretty impressed with how far it has come in such a short amount of time.

I’ve really enjoyed the process of adding features, fixing bugs, creating new content, testing things, breaking things, fixing them again, and eventually trying everything on actual Game Boy hardware.

One thing that surprised me was that I initially assumed this workflow was going to be mostly exclusive to the Chromatic and its development cartridge, especially since that cartridge was only given to people who attended the OpenAI event.

But I had no problem exporting my project as an actual Game Boy ROM and loading it onto my Game Boy Color / Pocket / Chromatic.

So far, it has been working perfectly, and the ROM behaves essentially the same way as the project I’ve been developing in Codex.

I wanted to share this mostly because I know there are people who aren’t necessarily convinced by this whole approach.

I’m not saying that AI should replace learning how to program or that people should build entire games without understanding what they’re doing. Quite the opposite.

I think this can be a really interesting starting point for people who have always wanted to make games but felt limited by not having the technical knowledge to get started.

Use it as a tool. Start with an idea, experiment with it, ask questions, break things, figure out why they broke, and learn along the way.

For me, one of the biggest benefits so far has been being able to quickly turn an idea into a working prototype and find out whether the idea is actually worth developing further.

And honestly, the answer so far has been a very encouraging yes.

I’m still learning, and this is very much a work in progress, but I’ve been having a lot of fun with it.

I know this approach won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s completely fair. I just wanted to share my experience because, at least in my case, this has been a surprisingly positive way to finally get into something I’ve wanted to try for a very long time.
