+karri Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Too much ebay lately. I fell for a video projector. It was 61€ with shipping and everything. Probably not a good idea. But it is fun. http://youtu.be/ILitksS_UMw Me playing Blue Lightning against a door. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 I just came home and played 2 levels of Zaku. Someone claimed that a large screen is too blocky and pixellated. I don't share this point of view. It is enjoyable to play it on a large screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GadgetUK Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Great stuff it does look fine on a larger screen! Looks even better if you skip every other scanline! Edited March 26, 2015 by GadgetUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Actually Zaku looks best in 16x9 mode. The Blue Lightning was played in 5x4 mode. The stretched mode reminds me of the movies -- Karri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilsaluki Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 How cool is dat? Don't think the Epyx guys developing the Lynx back in the day EVER envisioned this would happen to their "little" machine. Man, the Atari scene is dynamic now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, the Atari scene is dynamic now. Probably not. If someone could take a modded Lynx back in time and showed them what the future held, it would really blow them away. A lot of improvement in 25 years since that old color LCD was used. If someone told them the new LCD was done by a single person as a DIY aftermarket upgrade, it'd blow them even more. Did we have standard VGA monitor back then? I can only remember EGA at best and those aren't VGA capable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 I will take this mod back in time. I may have a chance to meet R.J. Mical (designer of Lynx HW) in Amsterdam at end of June at the Amiga 30 years party. Actually I hope to get my white Lynx signed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+karri Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) I am surprised to see that the tickets are gone so fast. Luckily I got my ticket and a chair at the VIP dinner. Meeting live legends is so cool. Amiga was my favourite computer during very many years. We programmed tons of things for it and I still have one running at home. The Amiga has the best tools on the planet for creating low-res graphics. Heikki Luhtala was one of the most talented Amiga artist at the time and we worked together for many years for the printing industry. Many years ago R.J. visited Helsinki and we were having a very small "nerd" party for a whole evening. He was very nice to talk to and he was involved with Red Eye at Ericsson at that time. I am sooo waiting to meet him again. Edited March 27, 2015 by karri 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+karri Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 roland p and LX.NET I will be in Amsterdam from Friday to Sunday. After the event I am going for the dinner cruise (Saturday evening). I rented a small apartment a few blocks away from the lighthouse. If the meeting gets too crowded we can always get in my place for some Lynx chats. All options are ok for me. Meeting before, during or after the amiga30 event A recent picture of me taken yesterday at our company marathon. Just so you recognize me I am the guy to most right in shorts with an orange stripe. -- Karri 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Do you have a nice 100+" LCD or Plasma TV? Or a very good quality projector and a very big blank wall? Always wanted to try and play Lynx on a BFD (big fucking display) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always wanted to try and play Lynx on a BFD (big fucking display) No. But I have this wonderful 61€ LED projector that can blow up the picture to the entire wall.

GadgetUK Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Have fun guys! Wish I could have gone but my health is bad at the moment =\. If anyone can get a leaflet or something signed by either R. J. Mical or Dave Needle - should they be there I would be forever in your debt. I had planned to try and go but I've really struggled the last few months.
