I got a new 'Lynx'!

[leech]

I'll have to see if I can tweak the colors, the actual Lynx looks a bit more vibrant with the LCD mod.  Also would be sweet if Mednafen could add the 6 buttons to the touch screen!

I looked into getting one but they are way too expensive for my budget.  Maybe when they come down to around $300.

It looks bigger than a lynx 1!  Cool though.

Haha!  The competition to these sell at decent laptop prices.  Gabe said the price pount was 'painful'.

 

The 64gb one is 399, and it seems straight forward to add more storage.

 

I enjoy it so far.

Okay, what? Specs, please, about the new handheld.

Well if you want a cheaper "Lynx" there's always options like these:

Yeah, though then you are stuck with Android instead of a full Linux distro.

I already have 3 real Lynx, I was just interested in the Steam deck as a portable gaming device, not as a Lynx replacement.

I'd love to see a Lynx or Lynx clone with software emulation with a device that has an OLED screen.

 

I'm also keen to see what the games look like on the Analog Pocket. (I'm in Group B, so should have one by the end of the year!)

Very cool!
