The Chromatic Game Boy is getting native Discord streaming support.

ModRetro is releasing a firmware update for its high-end Nintendo Game Boy remake that adds the ability to stream gameplay to Discord without the need for any additional software such as OBS. Once connected to either a Windows or macOS PC the Chromatic can be selected as a video input device in Discord and will function as a webcam outputting video at a resolution of 160x144 pixels — the same as the original Game Boy and Color.
