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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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.

  3. Atari Gamer releases a replacement menu for BennVenn's ElCheapoSD

This has been requested by many and it's been very close to completion for a long time, unfortunately life got in the way of finishing it sooner...but better late than never. So now we're pleased to announce that the ElCheapoSD Menu v2.2203.1 is finally available for download!

This is a replacement menu for the BennVenn ElCheapoSD for Atari Lynx cartridge. This menu has the following features:

  • Runs on default firmware (this makes it limited to a maximum of 256 ROMs and has no directories support, new firmware from BennVenn is in the works to address this)
  • ROM list scrolling and pagination (up/down to move through the ROM list, left/right to skip forward/back a screen full of ROMs)
  • Displays up to 16 ROMs at a time
  • Scrollbar with position indicator
  • Changeable colour themes
  • Files beginning with a . (dot) or _ (underscore) are removed from the ROM list; if you use macOS to copy files, you will not get junk displayed
  • ROM list is sorted alphabetically
  • Configurable settings

So head on over to the itch.io page and download the menu. Installation is simple, just copy the BOOT.bin file from the downloaded ZIP to your SD card. We're planning to add more features in the future. Remember this is an independent project, not related to BennVenn and not funded by anyone else, so if you like the new menu, please show your support with a small donation at download time!
