Its really annoying that my (cross) synth tracker never managed to get released. Buts its a hell of work to do such a thing. Nevertheless, I think the preview is still floating around on my website.

You only need an insert.o (which is kind of boot program for Atari Lynx) nop. the "boot" programm is in the mikey-rom and (if you count that in) the first sector of the cartridge-ROM, which is hardcoded inside the lynxer binary. That means, differnt lynxer version might have differt loaders inside. insert.o is just a title screen which is displayed by the loader (or not if you disable it in the loader). Really, ist only SCB, palette and sprite data, nothing more.

I remember its difficult to get into the hidden game and neraly impossible if oyu want to do it with multiplayer. But it would be nice if one could write a manual for the hidden game PS: Have you compared the ROM dumps? It should be easy to see if there are big changes.

Really, then it would be nice if these ppl try to comunicate which other ppl outside france to join forces

Sure! As I said, it may attract ppl because of PR, talking about the system etc

Hot really, as its much easier to do development with the handy emulator. The flashcart starts getting useful if you do things the emulator cannot do correctly. Like testing sound, graphix/contrast, comlynx and the 1% hardware features which are not implemented correctly in the emulation. Firing up th emulation is much faster than flashing, as you always have to switch off and on the lynx, plug unplug cable, etc. For 95% of the game development phase I use the emulations, only the finetuning i do with the flashcards and/or BLL comlynx interface. Dont get me wrong, it is really avery nice thing of hardware and i like it! But from the "it will attract more developers" point of view, I (sadly) do not share your opinion... at least it will not "break borders" which developer might have prevented in doing somethig for the lynx! apart from that ... well ... Its always nice to see it on the real machine anyway. in that sence it is really nice to have a flashcard where you can show things around. and it does much more fun to testplay on the real hardware that in the emulation. So, from the fun point of view its a big improvement! And in that sence it could attrackt more ppl!

i would say evo (just joking) Nice idea. Some of the german guys live not so far away from each other, maybe one could arrange some "local" meeting at least. Bad thing is, Sep 1th is a working day not a weekend. This makes it unlikely that ppl will participate :-/

The Lynx 2 contains some attenuation for sound, but i do not know if any game uses that, same holds for some undocumented cpu features.. The Lynx 2 card bay is easier to access, but you scratch the plastic if you use homebrew Lynx1 has problem with homebrew cards, as they where not designed correctly problem of the cartridge designers, not the lynx designers. On the lynx2 you can switch of the background light -> saved battery power The bags are designed for the Lynx 2 model.

its not, but for that purpose it does not make too much difference.

The Lynx can only show 16 colors at a time. The Pontiac is just a demo of how you can do a high-color image by redefining the palette in real time. It is there just because it can be done. It was written by Exceed in Japan. -- Karri Cool never realised that! Nice work Exceed. Check the CGE Slideshow cartridge or Lynx Reloaded for more of this kind of pictures... or well see the following examples http://lynxdev.atari.org/picture_test5.zip

well, just that the new lynx games wont run on the emulator. for obvious reason.

And Lynx Reloaded It might be even worth asking for P.I.T.S., even so its not the original box And please: DONT post email adresses in a robot readable way!

Have a look at http://lynxdev.atari.org You will find e a bunch of small (mostly unfinsihed) games and some tech demos (high color display etc...) there. The mod->lynx converter can create binaries and send them to the lynx for listening. Tschau, Sage

No, I think I can handle this problem myself. It is just that I have too many nice things going on at the same time. Tnx Karri, i also have encoutered some problem in 3d calculation, which i could not figure out why it happens. Even worse, its different between emulation and real hardware. So maybe -> Email Tschau, Sage

Not yet, but as the content is not packed (shame what a waste of rom space!) thsi should not be a big deal. *veg*

Simple answer: No. Even so a new screen might look much better than the original one PS: If you like Grayscale, you can hook up a 480*102 grayscale, but... that might be of not much use. Tschau, Sage

this looks just like a simple self burned eprom, nothing but a copy.

well why dont you the just buy it instead of looking at ebay auction going up ten times the original price?

These are macros which you have to include first. * include macros path "c:\lynx\alles" include <hardware.asm> include "help.mac"

You are right, i'd run also into this problem (that 4800-8-n-1 is standard for most GPS-receivers), i was lucky that i found an old GPS-receiver (even old at that time, 7 years ago!) which supported the 9600-8-e-1 the Lynx accepts by default. There is no "default" 9600 is just what is the highest compatible rate for a pc connection. 4800 is just chnaage of one number in the timer hardware. but about the parity i am not sure.

Due to the broken English of Babel, I wasn't able to understand how to purchase it from the authors. Can you help me out with the translation? Its always the same guy, therefore see the following thread: Ask

Well, you can still buy it at the original authors! I think this is the important message of this article

Ask

for that reason it would be nice to share the "helpful cheats"

... which I can put for public if you agree. This converted also includes the player for quick testing on the lynx. Loader Cart and serial converter cable requiered. Of course, no problem. O.K. here ist is: Lynx Mod Converter It is neighter perfect not do I take any responsibility for any damage you might get to your computer, lynx, brain, whatsover... Have fun!
