Cheapest handheld emulation option to play Atari Lynx games? - Page 2

CCCP alert · Yesterday, 06:16

The only time I travel is me driving my classic car so it won't get used much.

I hear good things about new LCDs for Lynx though so maybe in the future when renovations on my house finish forever, who knows.

Warbirds is super fun, if Sega did a WW1 bi-plane combat arcade game.......

Gauntlet on Lynx put me off buying it back then interestingly.

Can't you just get a crappy Android phone or something? There's Retroarch on the play store, which has an Atari Lynx core

I have a smartphone (Xperia) but I don't want to tap the screen or use a separate bluetooth joypad which I would have to purchase and never use for anything else really. If I was going to go the Android route I would spring for a dedicated handheld gaming device with controls built in.

Is Android Lynx emulation any good BTW? Not really investigated.

There are some on AliExpress at the moment around the £40 and reportedly are ok upto PS1 / DC / N64 level and below. Should be ok for Atari Lynx.

I think they are these, but the RK3326 looks a bit underpowered https://r36s.co.uk/

Even my GP2x from 2005 can emulate Lynx games full speed, you don´t need a lot of CPU power to do that ...
