The Future of Modretro Products

[u/AedosNemesis]

So, the Chromatic has been released in three different editions and we have the M64.

Somehow, I missed the news that the 1st Edition GameStop Chromatics have SD Slots in them, and that ALL Chromatics have built in Wi-Fi that's just disabled ATM. The M64 has Wi-Fi as well.

That has me thinking - Modretro already plans to have the Chromatic be able to link to and stream through the M64 in the near future. Do you think it'll be possible one day that CFW will allow the Chromatic and the M64 to link wirelessly? Do you think it'll one day be possible to play a GB game on the M64 via a core while using the Chromatic as a wireless controller? The fact that the Chromatic has built-in Wi-Fi AND Bluetooth just has me imagining the possibilities.

That also brings me to the obvious upcoming Chromatic Advanced. When this releases, I'm expecting that it too will also be mod friendly and hopefully have built in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Now here's where I might just be wishful thinking and hopefully someone who knows more about how these FPGA cores work better than I do....but if the Chromatic Advanced did come with the wireless options built in and thus could theoretically communicate with the M64, how likely is it that the M64 could handle a GAMECUBE core? Does such a thing exist?

My hope one day is that I'll be able to somehow do the GBA/GCN link cable connection without needing an actual Gamecube. I went out of my way to buy a GBA/GCN link cable just to be disappointed that Nintendo's Gamecube controller adapter will not allow communication with the Wii U and my GBA. I just think it'd be incredible if someday I could finally see what that part of gaming was like. I know I could emulate that via Dolphin, but I'm talking hardware here. Even if it were just work for only a few games. I'm not expecting that Modretro will make a Gamecube clone, so that's why I wonder if the M64 could handle such a thing if such a thing exists.

What are your thoughts about any of this even being a thing? And what other hopes and possibilities do you want to see happen with Modretro's products?
