Atari-Lynx emulator: Handy v1.05
On May 12th, Mathias Roslund released the Amiga version v1.05 of Keith Wilkins' Atari Lynx
emulator "Handy". With this release, the Amiga version closes the gap to the Windows version.
The Amiga version is based on Handy v0.70 and offers high compatibility. It supports the CD32
joypad, running on CGFx screen modes with a resolution of 320x200. Some of the changes since
the last version:
- Change: now uses ReadArgs instead of custom CLI subroutines
- Change: by pressing HELP, a screenshot can be saved in PCX format
- New: support for Nostalgia
- New: SCREENMODE parameter support
Handy requires an Amiga with PPC board, WarpUP v4.0+, 16 MB RAM, AGA or CGFx. Additionally, the
lynxboot.img file is required.
The handheld game console "Lynx" (with color screen) was developed by R.J. Mical, Dale Luck and
others for Epyx. Distribution was done by Atari. It was released at the same time as the Nintendo
Gameboy, but was not successful due to the higher price and lower run time, due to the color
display.
Development system for Lynx games was the Amiga.
