Turbo Laser Lynx Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I'm so excited I'm shi****g my pants! Can't wait! Hopefully some of these will get physical releases too! I know On Duty at least will. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 Me too, or maybe it's all those chillies I ate! ? Seriously though I hope that there will be physical releases of more of the games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nop90 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Retroguru still working on a phisical edition of Xump. If It goes fine we could think to publish Nutmeg too. Let's see if it receives good feedback. It's an uncommon game style for the lynx. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Songbird has some nice boxes. A dedicated 30-years anniversary release containing all games would be cool. I wonder how much space it would take? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nop90 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 One box with 11 cartridges? It would be an expensive anniversary box... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Nope. A few entries per cart. OnDuty use just 40 bytes eeprom and half of the cart. Find a way to my hear use almost nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UHATEIT Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I have been waiting for this too. I don't remember where the roms are to be released to the public but that should happen 9/1/19 so in a few days. I'll be excited to try them out on the AGACart which I ordered from one of the sponsors on there Rafal. If they are going to be released on the bottom of that same page then i assume we download them all, test them, and then vote on who the winners are.

Igor Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 Nutmeg is great! I can totally see Xump and Nutmeg on the same cart, that would be really awesome. The new Lynx SD Slim will come bundled with the ROMs too, and a special launcher menu as well. As for the ROM releases, they'll be available from the usual game information pages, but I'll be sure to include extra links for them. They'll all be playable on the online Lynx emulator too. I'm working on a new page that will have details of every game, that will be available at launch. I'm being more flexible with times due to time zones, but yes 1st of September is around when it will all be live and ready. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UHATEIT Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Where is the link for the ROMs download. I'd like to try them out and cast votes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solo/ng Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 We have sent a submission. Its only a sneak peak (becasue final - real - game will be submitted in a week). The crunch is real but we will manage. 90% is done but one module still crashing so we just dropped title/story/few levels (without any enemy shooting - it crashes) to have a submission. Will make topic tomorrow about our production and we hope you will like it (the final game not sneakpeak of course). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday was my bad I thought it was the 1st and forgot 31 days in August! Whenever the links are ready post up for sure. I scoured the page and didn't see them yet. Id like to try these on the Agacart. Edited September 1, 2019 by UHATEIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UHATEIT Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 The download link for The Inside World doesn't work but the others do. Plenty to test in the meantime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
