We are moving all Atari Lynx related content over to Atari Lynx Vault and all our shop content over to K-Retro Gaming. Please update your bookmarks!
As a result of this change, the following will no longer be available: Online Lynx Emulator, Collection Tracker, Game Ratings, News. If you are interested in contributing content to Atari Lynx Vault, we are seeking editors and maintainers.
Why is this happening? First - the Atari Gamer branding is changing to K-Retro Gaming to allow us to expand to providing games, replacement parts, and mod services to other game consoles. And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a new and modern content management system and chose a website domain that better suits the subject matter. Since we are operating this website in our spare time, on top of full time family and job committments, some features had to be dropped.
There is some good news and some bad news regarding the BennVenn LCD mod kits for Atari Lynx. First the good directly from BennVenn...
The new batch of lynx lcd kits are finally ready to ship!
These are our latest ribbon design. You said it was a bit fiddly getting the ribbon into the pcb so we added a long tab for easier maneuvering.
Nice work on the text too 🙂
Preorders shipping now. We'll add the leftovers once they're all shipped and we do a count.
And now for the bad...Due to the current global chip shortage, a number of chips used in both the LCD screen and the PCB that converts Lynx signals to an image that can be displayed on the LCD have gone up in price. This has been a significant rise and can't easily be absorbed by keeping LCD kit prices the same. This means that the prices for these kits are expected to go up once the pre-orders are all shipped out, this will be in the vicinity of around $30USD.
