Finally got my Lynx 2 fully operational done some major mods to it. The usual Mcwill screen, caps, voltage regulator, etc. Went further and had added another DB-15 3 row besides the VGA out to have an external controller mod. Used a Jaguar controller (best use of this shit controller) removed the phone pad pcb made a block off plate. Works really well, I had to build some standoff's for both DB-15's to raise them up about 3/16" because solder side with heat shrink was putting too much pressure on motherboard for two halves of system to close properly. Lot of damn work but turned out perfect.
Ok thanks for that info I'll give it a shot this weekend to see if I can get it to work for me. I would really like to show you guys the build and how great everything turned out.These days, I think you can just copy and paste them into your reply, or there is even a button to upload pics to your post. If you want to host them elsewhere, you could use imgur.com, and then link to the album, or else copy the links of each picture. It's never been easier to stick photos into forum replies than right now
I guess it depends on your definition of portable. For me, as long as it ran off a car cigarette lighter you could use it on car journeys, and as long as you could do that and hold down your lunch, you were happy.I think it was actually a solid system. It gets a lot of unnecessary hate. At the time it was released it was the only place to play a lot of these Atari arcade games at home. I kind of wish I still had mine and the games.
Definitely not much of a portable system because of the way it ate up batteries. I have a lot of good memories of it though.

Guess you stayed in the parents place and gained a level. Goodbye basement, hello sub-basementMy little brother who's no longer a gamer bequeathed his Lynx stuff to me (along with his small Jaguar and 3DO collections) when he moved out of our parents' place. I bought Zaku.

Read an interview with the creator of lynx stun runner. He did a ton of clever stuff. The game really took advantage of the lynx's ability to do sprite scaling. I think the tube sections were formed from the sprites being drawn on one quarter of the screen and then duplicated, mirrored and flipped to form the other quadrants of the screen that make up the tube. The whole game is just a masterclass in building sometime heavily focused on scaling and rotation stuff that a genesis or SNES wouldn't be able to do.Atari Lynx is awesome for having great ports of S.T.U.N. Runner and Xybots.
lol, leveled up! There's a sub basement? What about the water table?Guess you stayed in the parents place and gained a level. Goodbye basement, hello sub-basement
