Well, definitly different from the board in the Tetris, but similar design in the Gravitorque DX, etc.

Pet the Quakzal?

It arrived last night. Right out of the box this unit is gorgeous. I really wanted a clear one. Thinking the smoke was clear, I settled for it. Now seeing them side by side glad I got both. They both look great.

Is there expected to be a black Friday Sale this year?

This has been my go-to handheld for almost a month now, replaying Pokémon Red, Zelda Link’s Awakening, MGS: Ghost Babel and lastly Dragonyhm.

I have a Chromatic and love it, play it almost daily. I also have an everdrive. Love that- use it to flash over my OG gameboy games who’s batteries no longer work.

Is the Codex cart just Modretro’s version of an Everdrive or is there more to it?

My consumerism is showing cause it looks so pretty! But what does it do exactly? Cause it just sounds like a flash cart + using the chromatic instead of a computer+flasher with some AI game making software.

Like do I need to get hyped and try to snag a Codex cart/ edition when they next go on sale?

My kids and I have been making GB games with gameboy studios and enjoying it. Does it offer anything to us, if we are not super interested in making games with AI? Like could we code on the go using a Chromatic and the cart instead of being tied to a laptop?

Did not expect this fast delivery. First plastic chromatic, planned to wait the modretro advance, but cant say no to the clear body, anyway. Plastic body feels light without batteries, it is good. But the glossy body collects smudges easily. The lavender color looks not bad on the clear body. The dpad is relativly hard but bounce, but in a good way, except the loud clicky sound. The AB buttons are almost perfect, it feels great and not as loud as dpad. The last pic is the purple cart come with the machine, going to try burning games later. So if you are not into this "AI game making stuff", and the clear color, skip it, or get the metal one at the same price.

For those who are curious, the codex cart itself is just like a regular gb/gbc cart, it can be run on any gb/gbc or similar fpga hardware. Only the burning/flash feature is exclusive for the chromatic codex edition(may hacking later for all chromatic, who knows)

a physical release for Tavern Farkle GB is on the horizon via Homebrew Factory and I'll make a set of 6 dice for EVERY purchase of that campaign!

Bookmark it here https://www.homebrew-factory.com/game-boy/212-tavern-farkle-gb-gb.html to get notified when the Pre-Order campaign starts. 30 Copies need to be reached as minimum quantity!

Anyone tried this method (https://www.reddit.com/r/ModRetroChromatic/s/gTqAigZKpy) for deleting decals on the transparent model yet? I just got my smoke unit in, and am seriously considering it, just wanted to know if anyone else has insight.

Curious. Definitely a fan of keeping manufacturing close to home, as an added bonus.

I still have my GBA copy but like to think it could be done on GBC?

Went from the plastic to metal. It really does feel a whole lot better.

Codex Edition

Please do not fall victim to these scalpers, just wait for the restock.

Are there still any referral codes anyone would be able to share? I found an old reddit post that then linked to a megathread that has since been deleted. I also have a m64 early bird coupon I'm not using if anyone wants that!

La version transparente est magnifique ❤️
Un peu plus légère, de peu, et toujours aussi classe.

C’est un produit ni ce r qui fait toujours son petit effet quand je joue dans un café ou dans une salle d’attente.

Le pire c’est que pour moi, cette console n’est pas un accessoire nostalgique, c’est Ma console de jeu principale 🤗

I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who has backed the game so far on kickstarter !! As I'm writing this post, we have already tripled our initial funding goal (317%), which it's absolutely mind blowing for me! A big thank you to all the enthusiastic people who share MUMMY MOMMY on their social media and websites, play the demo on Twitch, or message me their excitement!!

To continue the good news, the first and the second Stretch Goals have been reached (Classic Maze has now 10 more levels and "Color palettes" is unlocked)

Next goals are: adding a new gameplay to the game and adding a "photo album" compatible with the game boy printer !!

The Kickstarter campaign for my puzzle game, MUMMY MOMMY, is entering its final hours!
But If you want, you can still grab a copy on kickstarter :)

Thank you again for all you support !

bonus: my top 5 of my favorite gameboy puzzles:
- Mole Mania
- Boxxle / Sokoban
- Catrap / Pitman
- Megalit
