Came across this video today and got teary-eyed at the story of David's Chrono Trigger, seeing how much care it is still shown decades later. Hope you'll give it a watch!
This type of story solidifies our sense of purpose and fuels the mission to preserve retro games, because they're still so cherished by people and deserve to live on.
Hey everyone 🍁,
I’m writing with a quick shipping update: Operators are currently being restocked. Tracking info will start being sent out tomorrow and should go through to the end of the month, as more units reach the EU and US warehouse then get processed for shipping. GB Operator is being restocked first, and SN Operator will follow shortly after. Combined orders need to wait until both products are at the warehouse so they can be shipped together.
Orders get processed chronologically, from oldest to most recent. Tracking info is sent to your email inbox as soon as it is available for your specific order. You can also check the live status of your order anytime here: https://www.epilogue.co/support/track-order.
Reminder to email Support ASAP if you need to update the shipping details, I’ll take care of it. Otherwise, the wait is almost over! Thank you all for your patience and support!
After playing a lot of Clone Hero I had the idea to make something like that on a Gameboy. Fast forward a couple weeks I was able to build out the game and used the GB Operator to make a physical copy of it! I’m very happy how it turned out and excited to try to bring other ideas to life
Visited Dublin for the first time recently, and walked down a street with such beautiful entrances. What better way to capture them than with Flashback?
I also compared the last photo here with the normal one taken by the iPhone, from the same spot, and thought this one has more personality. Actually prefer it to the modern version!
Anyways, hope you’re all enjoying your Sunday so far. And remember - when one door closes, open Flashback and take a photo 📸!
Hey everyone,
The next estimated shipping date for GB Operator to US customers was August 30th, but we completed a restock ahead of time (yay 🥳!) so keep an eye on your inbox today and possibly Monday for tracking info. Make sure someone's at the address to accept early delivery! Also check the live status of your order here: https://www.epilogue.co/support/track-order
This applies to all US orders that have just the GB Operator (not combined with SN Operator yet since restock for that is still ongoing), and that were placed by the time I write this message today. At the US warehouse we still have the reserved GB Operator units set aside, for combined orders placed up to June 17, 2026, they're just waiting for big bro SN Operator to get there.
Have a good one, and thanks for the support!

On a more personal note: this year has been truly incredible - with the launch of SN Operator, our work reached new people. This led to a significant increase in demand.
We will have Operators permanently stocked again, but until that point there is some waiting time because we need to run entire assembly cycles. We are sorry for the inconvenience, and also sincerely grateful for your support.
If your order is successfully placed, that means you have a guaranteed reserved unit from the next batch, no matter what. Once stocked, all orders get processed chronologically and tracking info gets sent to your inbox when ready. If you need to update the address, contact Support and I'll take care of it.
That's all from me, hope you find the new status page useful 📦!
Parts that I resonated with the most:
>the fact that I could actually snap digital photos with my yellow OG Game Boy was mind-blowing to my then 8-year-old brain
>It's pretty cool and surprisingly nostalgic
>[Setups like this] are about the nostalgic joy of pairing retro hardware with modern tech
Personal opinion: I've had a lot of fun with Flashback since launch, taking candid snaps of my dog during the day, or just random little moments that otherwise blur into a normal day's monotony and I might not even realise how special they are.
By taking the time to choose a filter, trying out all the settings to see what changes, and being forced to abide by the Game Boy Camera's pixelated constraints, I found myself to be more present when taking a photo.
It might just be a me thing, but with the normal camera it's all set up already and I just push a button, take the photo and forget about it in less than 3 seconds, like a goldfish - 9/10 times it's decent quality just as-is. But with Flashback I really have to think about framing, lighting, dither etc. and it's a more active process.
Hope you'll give it a try as well 😊💕: https://www.epilogue.co/software/flashback
Hi everyone,
I'm here with an update for the GB Operator! After receiving the circuit boards, assembly went well and we are currently stocking warehouses. Most units have already arrived and are being processed for shipping starting today, June 30th.
It will take us several days to go through the backlog of orders that has been accumulating since we ran out of stock back on April 12th. Tracking info will be sent to your inbox as soon as it is available for your exact order.
As always, thank you for the incredible support and patience along the way, it means more than you realise 🥰!

Since Flashback launched, we've been pleasantly surprised to see people share their new profile pictures taken with the app and also random snaps of their pets. So here's our fuzzy friends in alphabetical order: Freya, Mia, Ringo and Winston!
Feel free to share yours too, we'd love to see them 🥰!
