Robert Schaffner 4" lcd screen for his jaguar on the ProfiJag archive

very nice hack

I think there are a few LCD screens on the market that have standard RCA audio/video and/or S-video. I would just be a matter of using a Jaguar video cord to plug it in. Most of the screens are made to fit with current systems like the PS1/2, or Gamecube, Xbox, etc. Several 3rd party companies have LCD screens that made to work with all the current systems and this generally means that any video device with RCA/s-video jacks will work with it. I haven't bothered because the ones designed for consoles all have such small screens. If someone made one with the screen size comparible to PC LCD flat screens, then I might think about getting one.

Exactly! I'd rather see something that I can use to play my Lynx on a real TV than trying to turn my Jaguar into a Lynx!

I hear that! I was looking at some old CGE threads and they auctioned off one of the boxes Atari used for LYNX testing for $1k. Big bucks for a LYNX TV interface. I'm surprised the "LYNX community" hasn't already developed one. I've taken many LYNX's apart in my day and I guess I can understand the way they have the video out to the LYNX screen. That's a mess to work with....

Besides, all the picture does is serve to show how huge a 4" LCD screen was in 1995. You can get a 5" screen now with electronics the same size as the glass, and it's not exactly taxing to plug an AV cable into a pre-built screen now, is it?

Is it because of the camera or is that a mod'ed Jag because the power light appears to be green?

Apparently Atari decided it would be a good idea because 'European people associate a red light with something being wrong'

Out of curiosity, is the LED on the PAL Lynx different than the NTSC one?

I don't think a lynx is PAL or NTSC as it has it's own LCD screen. But my lynx has an orange looking LED

Well... It's not 2001 anymore eh . And I don't understand much of German.

If you mix green light and red light you get orange light. So a Lynx is both PAL and NTSC

 

Actually the Lynx display refresh rate is programmable by a set of timer registers making the refresh rate flexible. According to the docs, the maximum refresh rate is 78.7 Hz. Values for creating 75, 60 and 50 Hz refresh rates are given but they say that 50Hz seems to flicker badly on the Lynx LCD display. So probably most games use 60Hz as refresh rate.

Wonder if that bad flickering was due to the development being done in the US where their power systems are 60Hz? so making it more prominent.. anyone written anything on the Lynx in the UK and set it to 50 Hz?
