ModRetro made 8,000 event Chromatic devices and built a Codex game-making plugin

ModRetro made 8,000 transparent custom Chromatic devices for the event so every attendee could take one home, according to a company representative. The device had been announced on stage by Sam about an hour and a half earlier; one was then listed on eBay for $4,000. The listing was discussed as a possible resale opportunity, but no sale was confirmed.

ModRetro also built a custom plugin for Codex that lets users vibe-code games and flash them directly onto a Chromatic cartridge, rather than playing only in a laptop emulator. As an example, CEO Torin and his five-year-old created a game that Torin flashed to a cartridge so his child could play it right away.
