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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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.
The BennVenn LCD kit for Atari Lynx has been really groundbreaking and popular, with many revisions released, each improving things more and more. The latest revision (rev6 - install guide here) added adjustment to screen brightness via the Lynx brightness wheel. Now there's a revision of the kit that has brightness wheel control and works with the C104129-001 Lynx 2 motherboard.
Here's a little bit from BennVenn...
Revision 6! With brightness control using the original Contrast wheel! This version requires one wire to be soldered to be compatible with the -001 motherboard. Solder RES pad to TP27.
