+karri Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I bought a broken Lynx I from ebay to get the cart connector to my programmer. So why not build my programmer into the Lynx I covers? A 5" LCD from ebay for 12€ fits in when I get rid of the on/off buttons. ... to be continued 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+karri Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) I wonder if this will work out - A Stone Age Lynx! First layer of stone paint. Edited December 18, 2017 by karri 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Laser Lynx Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Haha, cool! In 2019 the Lynx will be 300 BILLION years old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) Second layer of paint and screen test. The screen is fairly good. A bit narrow viewing angle. Edited December 19, 2017 by karri 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Laser Lynx Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Fun stuff! ^^ Fred Flintstone approves! Actually in dinosaur measurements the stone-Lynx was practically microscopic of its age. Nobody complained about its size back then! All joking aside I don't remember anyone complaining about the size of the Lynx or Game Gear back in the early 90s either, I think that might be a later internet or youtube idea or something?

+karri Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 The next part is the electronics. I would like to re-use the buttons, cart connector, speaker/headphones and ComLynx. But Suzy/Mikey had to go. The new CPU is a RaspberryPi 3 with built-in WiFi, Ethernet and USB ports. It would have been nice to keep the battery options but the CPU alone will use twice the current of a real Lynx so I decided to drop battery support. There is still a need for power on/off and an ESC button to exit RetroPie emulation. I have to go shopping for good-looking buttons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+karri Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) So now the wired net, wifi, USB, keyboard and mouse is working. Also the original Lynx I chips for audio and speaker was OK. As seen here. https://youtu.be/w6Dk2f58Dxc The buttons and joypad are also Lynx 1 original stuff as well as ComLynx. The cart connector is used for writing new games on the cart. And also reading carts. Edited February 4, 2018 by karri 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
