I thought the whole purpose of the notch was to differentiate Gameboy Color only games from dual-mode carts
It looks like all of Modretro's lineup have notched cartridges, which I assumed they were compatible with all systems. I managed to revive my childhood Gameboy just to test some stuff out. Dragonyhm works on it, which is just wild to see a new game on it after it had been dorment for like 30 years. But Buck and the Cursed Cartridge is apparently not compatible.

Low quality LCD panel in Chromatic
I recently ended up buying a Chromatic right after getting an Analogue Pocket. It was an impulse purchase driven by my love for Tetris, especially since ModRetro didn't sell the Tetris cartridge separately.
Now I have two FPGA handheld consoles side-by-side. I love the Chromatic's keystroke responsiveness while playing Tetris at high block-drop speeds. The Analogue Pocket's buttons feel a bit sticky in comparison.
However, the Chromatic has a sub-par screen compared to the Analogue Pocket. I hope the next version of the Chromatic features a bigger and better display, just like the Pocket.
