As we are being asked quite often lately: Yes, the Chromatic will be back in stock, probably in August / September. As well as other accessories such as the battery pack.
There will be pre-orders. To make sure you don't miss them, it's best to activate the product notification.

The ModRetro Chromatic is an FPGA based recreation of the classic GameBoy Color handheld. 
It's compatible with classic GameBoy and GameBoy Color cartridges and also supports original Link cables and IR Link.

Like the classic GameBoy, the Chromatic is nearly indestructable, thanks to an Magnesium Alloy Shell and an extra strong and either Gorilla Glass or the even more scratch-resistant Sapphire Glass in front of the screen.

Speaking of the screen: It's a real 160X144 pixel 2.56” IPS backlit LCD which can also be used in sunlight.
And it offers lag-free video out via a USB-C port - which can be used for streaming original games, for example.

The firmware is upgradable using a tool which can be downloaded here from the official website.

It's powered using three standard AA batteries or a custom Lithium Ion Pack, which can be charged directly in the handheld.

The new Tetris® for Chromatic is included, free of charge. Tetris Ⓡ and © 1985-2024 Tetris Holding.


Compatible with the Classics

It’s time to dust off your old cartridges! Chromatic is compatible with Game Boy®, Game Boy Color®, and Chromatic cartridges, so you can play all your old and new favorites on the handheld of your dreams.

Play Anytime, Anywhere

Equipped with the world's only 160x144 pixel sunlight-readable backlit display, Chromatic is ready to play in any environment. Its super scratch-resistant sapphire front crystal makes it perfect for on-the-go gaming.

Magnesium Alloy Shell

Rather than plastic, Chromatic’s shell is crafted from premium, lightweight and durable magnesium alloy. The result? A handheld that's indestructible and feels so good to hold, you won’t want to put it down.
