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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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.
Benn Venn just keeps improving his LCD mod kit for Atari Lynx all the time! Here's the latest update...
We're working on the Rev6 kit. We've found a way to use the exisitng brightness wheel to control our kit's brightness via the ribbon which means a true no soldering, drop in kit with full brightness control too! Scanline enable/disable will need the wire soldered but its still one step closer to perfection.
We're waiting on proto PCB's and ribbons to arrive to verify the design then pre-orders will open on this Rev6 batch. We think brightness control without soldering is definitely worth persuing, and worth the wait. We'll also keep the soldered option for brightness control on the PCB for those Lynx consoles with a faulty contrast wheel.
