Show and Tell
Hi, this is a new thing I'm gonna maybe hopefully try to keep up with weekly, where I basically post a picture of something in my room and then write a little blurb about it. These blurbs could range from just a surface l level explanation of what is is to me going into how object X is important to me for reason Y.

To start, I chose the Modretro Chromatic. Mine is a first edition in the "Wave" color, I preordered it in June and I recieved it in December of 2024.
Let the record show that I wasn't aware that Palmer Lucky was a merchant of death when I bought this.

I think it's a cute little device. Fun colors, feels premium, and that special screen they were flexing is pretty nice. The screen doesn't look great in these photos because they were taken on the Razr 2023, but I promise it looks better in person. I've got the rechargable "power core" battery in mine, which is charged via the USB-C port that also is used for updating firmware, updating games, and audio/video out.

This doesn't really have any sentimental value to me because it's like—
a new device—but I do still like having it (even if the founder of the company behind it is low-key high-key evil). I've got a bunch of old games, a handful of the Modretro releases, some incube8 releases, and then an Everdrive with a bunch of 3DS/Wii U Virtual Console and itch.io games (all dumped/extracted by me), so there's plenty for me to do on it.

bruhhh the new wave colorways have way better colors for the stripes, the new cloud wave, and bubblegum colors make my 1st edition wave look like ass ​

Okay, so my cart dumper arrived yesterday and I used it to attempt dumping the Winsley's Guardian cartridge I bought that I thought was DOA, and it does seem to work when playing off of an Everdrive. It loads REALLY slow, but it doesn't crash with a kernel panic 95% of the time on boot or as soon as I press a movement direction, so at least I'll actually be able to play it–which is nice.

ignoring the fact that Luckey is like an arms dealer- this feature seems pretty neat if you’re someone who is really big into buying games on cartridge rather than just purchasing the digital versions and using an EverDrive
