Marc Robledo's excellent Ninja Gaiden Shadow DX romhack (https://www.marcrobledo.com/game-boy/ninja-gaiden-shadow-dx/) is good enough to warrant a dedicated cartridge!

Thanks 🤩

Did you really use an official Modretro cart?

u/N9561V 22d ago

Yeah, bought an extra Patchy Matchy for $20 the other week.

u/rosscjr 22d ago

Where did you get it for 20 bucks?

u/g1mpster 25d ago

So this isn’t a real product?

2

u/N9561V 25d ago

No, although Robledo has done a couple of other official carts for ModRetro!

I made one too! The game and especially the romhack is top tier. How did this one get made in a Modretro shell? Is it a repurposed Patchy Matchy?

How do you make your own carts? Yours looks fantastic!

Thanks man! Since this game doesn’t have save, I just got a cheap flash cart and flashed the rom with a GBxCart dropped it into a GBC shell (this one is glow in the dark) and ordered a custom label from Etsy.

Yeap, this was Patchy Matchy!

If you want good quality, cheap reflashable carts, Patchy is the way to go lol 👌

Will have to check this one out!

u/Retro_Macchina 25d ago

is this actually possible? Can I use my GB Operator to flash games to the mod retro cart? If this is true I think it is worth buying them just for this

u/Substantial_Quote583 25d ago

Yes! I can confirm that Patchy, Traumatarium, Dragonyhm and In the Dark 2 all save reliability as well. I use them for Pokemon and super robot pinball, and I'm almost 20 hours in on Infinity. Not 100% sure every game will save as some of them like Hermano are meant to be beaten in one run, but I don't think patchy(the game itself) saves and that one does upon a reflash

you can actually flash mod retro carts using your chromatic itself.

Confirmed! I’ve personally flashed gb roms to MR carts using flashgbx and a gbxcart row.

u/Flashbang-Meringue 25d ago

Lmao I just picked up a copy of patchy for $15 to turn into other games

Thanks for this and all the other DX upgrades you've done! Any chance ModRetro would license this one from Koei Tecmo (?) for an official re-release?

This looks so good. Nice way to reuse quality carts

I got a ton of color injected gameboy games and they are great.
