Lynx to VGA

Recommended Posts

Hi,

This is my little contribution to Your world,

It took me 4 days to get it there, and its still not perfect - as you can see, there are sone glitches (complete lack of sync) during the game boot i haven't investigated yet, but it all come in its own sweet time

 

I would like to thanks following members for their contribution to this project:

Shawn Jefferson, who talked me into this and gave Lynx I and few games (on their way from Canada)

uicr0Bee for lending me his Lynx II and Batman game so i could work while waiting on Shawn's parcell

 

Tools used:

Rigol DS1052E oscilloscope for initial gueswork on LCD interface (there is no documentation for it, apart from schematics, so i had to do it the hard way)

Altera/TerasIC DE1 board with custom 3.3V<>5V level shifter board i've also used during SoundBoard development

 

enough said, enjoy!

You my sir are a genius! All the years ive seen no one able to get this working. Whats even more impressive is that you did it with no documentation for the LCD. You should look at the size of the custom TV out boxes that Atari had custom made for the Lynx, they are huge. I hope this could translate into something people could buy or make themselves.

 

Great work!

Most likely the frequency is switched during boot up between 50 to 60 or even 70/75Hz

It is.

Atari's own adapter does not even bother to compensate for this. So this is already as functional as the huge box of TTL and PAL developers would buy back in the day.

 

But in any case, very nice work :)
