Excellent (eggcellent 😂) timing for me as we recently updated the packaging for the game! The physical release is available here - https://k-retro.com/homebrew-games/14-35-eggsavier-s-cackleberry-rescue-a-homebrew-game-for-atari-lynx-.html#/5-game_release-boxed_with_cartridge

Speed-Programming Karri's Flashcard on the Lynx
Igor replied to MichelS's topic in Atari Lynx Programming
That was a request for the 'dev kit' adapter for ElCheapoSD that BennVenn and us will be working on. The key functionality that would be required here is to reset the Lynx without resetting the flash cart, so the flash cart needs to be powered somehow. -

Speed-Programming Karri's Flashcard on the Lynx

The JoeyLynx (https://k-retro.com/atari-lynx-cart-dumpers-programmers/65-78-bennvenn-joeylynx-lynx-cart-dumper.html#/28-kit_type-fully_assembled_kit) is able to program Karri's PCBs in about 20 seconds -
What you need to do is put FIRMWARE.BEN and BOOT.BIN from the update zip on the SD card. Put batteries in your Lynx, it's not recommended to use USB or a power adapter for this. Put the SD card into the ECSD, put the ECSD into the Lynx. Turn the Lynx on. It should power up and say INSERT GAME, it takes about 10 seconds for the firmware to update, so you will see this message until it's updated. Once updated, it will boot into the menu. You can replace the standard menu with our menu if you like. Now there's a catch here, not all SD cards work for doing the upgrade - you need to use an 8Gb card or smaller, and not all brands work either. I had to go through a bunch of different SD cards before I could get one that worked. Hope that helps!

I'll talk to you about it on Discord, thanks!

I ended up using http://emulatorjs.org because that has a very easy to use "code editor" that generates the embed zip file for you. Have it set up for Chasm Warden now, so that's playable in the web browser (https://atarilynxvault.itch.io/chasm-warden)

I've added screenshots for each of the games now 😎 -
Hi All! We hosted LynxJam 2023 at the end of last year and received 12 mini games for the Lynx. If you haven't had a chance to check them out, you can see the Jam info page here - https://itch.io/jam/lynxjam-2023, from there go to Submissions and you can download ROMs for each of the games separately (they're free of course). For those of you who want to get your hands on a physical cartridge (just the cart or in a box with a cartridge stand), we've made it available here - https://k-retro.com/homebrew-games/382-198-lynxjam-2023-same-but-different.html If you've seen our game releases before, the box itself is a clear PET box, the same as used as protector sleeves for the original Lynx game boxes. The game insert this time around is printed double sided and the cart stand is an improved design with a two-colour 3D print. We've already started to ship some of the pre-orders and the first batch of these is 1/3 gone, but once we run out, we'll make more. Screenshots
