Atari_afternoon

Only 15, only at one weekend half around the globe for me, and only NTSC? This is sad because this game DESERVES to be on a cartridge.

Wow, is that true? I have loved the Ature homebrew game ever since it´s been discussed here in the homebrew testing forum!

I know, and has been so over a week. Just my personal luck with getting that damn rare game from the only European seller I have found

That´s the little problem I am having, too; however, after asking what and ho wlong "Order:Pending" means I received a very kind and detailed email so all is fine with me even if waiting for "up to 10-12 weeks until we´ll have it back in stock" is kind of hard.

A nice little game I like it. Any plans for a Yastuna 3 release maybe, together with your "A Bug´s Lynx"? (Recognized the music from Lynxopoly BTW ). First, the lyx-file doesn´t work on the card unfortunately. Maybe because it doesn´t follow the 128/256/512 format? Don´t bother now because it works fine with Handy. EDIT ha! I got it working on the FC now forgot to change its options to ".LYX" So typical! Looks great now! The music track plays lovely, nice upbeat tempo with a humalong quality. This is important to realize, otherwise you´ll die far away from the 500 points mark. You can shoot faster when you move up the wall rather than from below all the time. You move around more than on Space Invaders, horizontally and vertically. Interesting. After having played it on Handy I´ve gotten it on the FC and it plays MUCH EASIER this way Thanks for a fun game

Thanks will write more later!

Great

Wow, that looks great I really need to check this out tonight (and also your "A Bug´s Lynx", I admit I have never heard of that before, it should work on the flashcard, whose firmware doesn´t accept .o files). Congratulations for ending 2nd of the contest!!

Yes, sorry to hear this. These things are bloodily annoying and you feel so damn helpless then. May the thief be incarcerated in a slime world...kidnapped by a hand from out off space (Toki)...A.P.B. Officer Bill will find him! Smack a folded newspaper into his windows! May his ostriches all be pterodactylized! Any other metaphors available?

All the very best for all your projects, Ninjabba

Gordo is indeed pretty good and about my favourite platformer for the Lynx. Plus, great music. I have never made it through more than 30% of it though... Thanks for the guide! Bookmarked

Yes, I remember a screenshot by matashen in the "current Lynx projects sticky"...

Fantastic pictures!! I envy you for the great-looking Lynx I and for Cybervirus (awaiting my copy for many weeks now...)

@ geoanas, it has the manuals (German and English), which are downloadable from Lynxman´s AtariAge blog, I think. This is what I did weeks before I considered buying the card The CD-ROM also contains a Lynxopoly-Demo and an announcement 1-page-pdf-"Flyer" about an ongoing Yastuna-PCB-project (no further details given there, only a picture of the well-known Yastuna PCBs). How did you manage to get Rygar on it without knowing the installation link to the small data-uploading programme that´s given in the manual? Or did you have that on your PC before already?

Received mine yesterday. Thank you, Bernd it is absolutely stunning. Needed a little while until I found out how to use it. Your screenshots in your manual helped a lot but for someone like me who is unfamiliar with setting up half a dozen parameters on both the card and the transfer programme, like format types, ROM sizes, Baud rates and "how to make the programme know that it uses exactly the same values as the flashcard and how to make the latter know the same", I needed a little while to find it all out by trial and error and by reading the manual more than twice . Mainly, I have overlooked that the flashcard´s own little menu, which is accessed by pushing one button, can not be read on the PC transfer programme UNLESS both have the same Baud rate setup. Plus, the chip needs to be erased before uploading anything. Let me post a little dummies´ guide: first : correct USB COM-port! (i.e. the transfer programme needs to know) second: change a few default parametres in transfer programme (see manual screenshot). press "connect"! third: start with 9600 baud. otherwise, no flashcard settings menu will appear forth: change baud rate to faster (on both the FC and the programme) fifth: give type of file (.lyx etc) (on both the FC and the programme) sixth: enter correct file size (on both the FC and the programme) seventh: erase chip before uploading (didn´t know that but it´s so logical, isn´t it?) eighth : upload file nineth: verify Once one has learnt this it´s a matter of less than 3 minutes now. Thanks for your fast delivery, Lynxman It´s a great tool!

Wow, thank you Pretty ambitious highscores. "Barbarian Bodyguard", wonder what became of that...

Thank you for posting

After having played the text adventure three times, I still find myself too stupid to access any hidden game! I have now printed your above hints^^ and will do it again. Maybe it´s clearer in the French version (had only 3 distant very distant years of French in school...) Never mind, I like a challenge! EDIT Read the spoiler! Thought I could do without...Thanks

Definitely the GBA version, even at one point of Nintendo desinterest I gave it away to a relative (bought it back again in th emeantime. Close second the DS version, which was the original reason why I had gotten a DS at all. EDIT Just seen that, like in politics, I always vote the loser .D

Hi and welcome Oh I bet you´ll love your new toy. Half a year ago I started a very similar thread here (now down on page 2 or 3 maybe). Favourite games? Depends on the genre. IMHO Checkered Flag (racing), Lynxopoly, Shanghai (board games), Rampage, Xenophobe, Ms Pac-Man, Joust (Arcade), Slimeworld, Rygar (platformer) and Steel Talons, Battlezone and BattlwWheels are all a blast to play on this system. And this console is still being actively supported, so expect some new stuff in regular intervals

<deleted double post>

Aah right. James "Purple" Hampton has quite a number of Google hits. Seems he was behind the original Secret of Monkey Island, and many other things

Got mine today (from Lynxman)! Plays fine, I like it. Good and very colourful levels, and the long "press option 1" message that was originally mentioned for the testers in 199x has, among other things, the content that actually, 35 levels and more and greater enemies had been planned...*sigh*. I think it´s a pity it wasn´t finished as planned back then and laid on ice. That one more month missing wasn´t in Atari´s budget any more? Could have become a Lynx Sonic. Nevertheless, thanks to you we can play it now! I spent a good time of this afternoon with it.

Yes, it´s nice and plays well. Thank you! I played it for 10 minutes last night (horizontally though)

They were not or no more firmly attached to mine, I have found no glue or anything underneath them, they just snapped off and as easily back on.
