Your #1 source for Atari Lynx news and information!

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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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's a new tool available online, the Atari Lynx LNX to LYX ROM Converter. It will let you convert your LNX ROMs to LYX ROMs, just as the title suggests. It will also pad the ROMs out and can convert 128KiB to 256KiB ROMs.
The Online Atari Lynx Emulator has been updated with some extra features today. The default scaling is set to 2x now to have a more faithful reproduction of games. You can also clearly see which scaling is being used. Games that need rotation are also supported now with normal, left and right rotation options.
