    The perfect Gameboy

    Works perfectly, this is the ultimate gameboy color experience. I had a bit of issues with diagonals triggering accidentally but after a super easy to do firmware upgrade its flawless now.

    I have my original GBC and the size is almost the exact same, the screen and button layout is the exact same which is surprising. Runs perfectly all of my games both Nintendo and Chromatic. Some differences from the original, the obvious backlit screen which can be super bright I have it almost at the lowest setting. The metal shell feels really good. Speakers are way louder than the original. Buttons are a lot louder, maybe they just need to loosen up a bit though.

    Overall amazing purchase, got one for myself and my wife got super curious and has played it more than me at this point, so I'm for sure getting a second one for her. Cant recommend this enough

    Amazing

    I was waffling between this and the Analogue Pocket. But man, I am so glad I got this. It's just such a stellarly made product with true craftmanship - it's worth every dollar spent. I wish people would see the vision of ModRetro - recreating hardware AND games. It runs great and I enjoy the customization options. They made a lifelong fan out of me with my experience with the Chromatic.
