Atari Lynx Emulator Goes Open Source

Posted by simoniker on from the the-open-source-effect dept.

Bill Kendrick writes "Handy, the Atari Lynx emulator, has been re-released as Open Source software. (So that libSDL port I've always wanted might become a reality!) Handy's official website has moved to SourceForge, and the source-code is in CVS!" There are some neat homebrew Atari Lynx titles, both demos and game prototypes, available, too.

    Interesting enough, a PocketPC-port is available here, yet it is not mentioned on the official Handy site on SF.

  2. It was cool but by Mr.Dippy · · Score: 3, Informative

    I remember playing it in a toy store when it first came out. I played the California games for 10 minutes and the system started to overheat. It sucked down batteris like coca cola. I wanted one really bad but my dad pointed out that I would have to blow the majority of my weekly allowance on batteries just to play it. Damn you Atari! Such a cool devise yet so flawed.
