@slider1983 no, he's behind the Modretro Chromatic

I ended up caving and buying one. Glad I did. The battery life isn't as bad as what was being made out and it's my go to Gameboy now. I have a pocket, a GBA sp , micro and this and I find myself playing the chromatic the most

Swear I remember reading that the battery life was supposed to be 30 hours, which I thought was great, and had me interested in getting one. (Can't find where I read that at so must have made it up in my head. Lol) Seeing it's actually six hours is making this a pass for me. Got the analogue pocket already.

The article says a significant os update is coming on the 12th but the X account shows an update is out now. I'm guessing that's a typo in the article and that is the significant update unless there's another update coming?

I'm going to support this because I love the original but I don't have high hopes for this. Bummer that they pulled the original from the eShop. Even with it being a poor port, I have a feeling it'll be better than whatever this is. Lol, hope I'm wrong.

If the Chromatic supported save states I'd get one in a heartbeat. That said, I'll probably buy some of the games and play them on my pocket

@KingMike the whistle trick was real. A lot of "tech savvy" people knew about it back in the day. It's also referenced in the amazing movie Pirates of Silicon Valley.

@sdelfin ah, good point. Forgot that the games were just emulated to the 3ds.

I remember reading that they cancelled it because Capcom lost the code to some of the games but then they ended up coming out for 3DS (and now switch). Did they find the missing code? Anyone have the story behind this?

Whatever happened to the Super retro boy? It was supposed to be out in August. You guys even wrote an article about it. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/01/say_hello_to_the_super_retro_boy_an_all-in-one_game_boy_solution
