- ModRetro Chromatic owners who play Game Boy link-cable games
- Worth noticing
- The page reports completed Pokémon trades in both directions using a real Chromatic and a computer as the other player.
Field notes
Installation means replacing the Chromatic’s firmware, rather than attaching a plug-in accessory; the page says the stock firmware can be restored. The reported tests used home Wi-Fi and a computer as the remote endpoint, not a second Chromatic. The page cautions that fast real-time games may slow down because link data travels over the network and back.
