    Nothing is locked out due to rights but the cart will only load LNX files. If you're trying to load LYX or O files, you will need to convert them first.

    Thanks....I checked the rom files and they are def LNX. When I try to load them I either get stuck at loading from the defautl BennVenn menu or it loads then shows INSERT GAME for a few sec and goes back to the loader. Bad roms maybe?

    I received my card as well and everything works great and fitment is perfect for both the SD card and in the Lynx units. There are some games that fail to load however so I just wanted to make sure if all games were supported or if some games are locked out due to rights issues? Just wanted to confirm as I would understand both ways but the main issue is that I have an original copy of Daemonsgate card and several other ROM board carts that wont fit in my Lynx I and I was hoping to play it through the Elcheapo.

    mine when i push it to a monitor is stretched. i guess on a square monitor it'd be better. but it's a pita on a widescreen monitor.

    Yes I imagine its your display that is stretching the non native res which is common for most modern displays. You would need some processor/scaler in between to force the intended aspect ration I imagine.

    I'm considering getting my Atari Lynx 2 modded with a VGA output (along with the McWillis screen replacement). What I'm trying to figure out is:

    if i connect VGA to a regular monitor, roughly what size will the output be?

    If i want to connect the Lynx to my Framemeister, what cables would I use?

    If I successfully connect Lynx to framemeister, are there known profiles/settings to use?

    Any input or guidance is welcome. Im somewhat of a dolt with this stuff, but always trying to learn a little more.

     

     

    I stream with my Mcwill modded Lynx on stream so might be able to help here.

    The output resolution on direct VGA would be 640 by 480 with the game in a smaller display area within that size. If you connect to a standard VGA monitor than it should be accurate aspect ratio but just in a smaller display size.

    You can use a decent VGA to HDMI box to get it the signal out to a tv or capture card but the quality varies wildly in terms of noise so may a bit more for something decent and make sure you buy the right direction as its a one way signal.

    You will need one of these converts to connect to a Frameister so again the best quality you can send it will help. Once there I find the image a bit soft so add sharpness to +1 but in general it seems good and of course you can use the zoom feature to fill out your display. There is no color profile that I am aware of but I would recommend to add some saturation.

    I am going to test with an OSSC soon to see if it looks any better but here is some video so you can get an idea of what it might look like:
     


    in this stream I am going from Lynx--> VGA to HDMI converter-->Frameister--> El Gato HD60 Pro PCI capture

    let me know if you have any other questions!

    Lynx LCD Replacement/VGA-Out by McWill

    in Atari Lynx

    Posted

    Hello everyone just wanted to say thanks to McWill for creating these awesome mods as I have one of each from him directly! Just wanted to also verify if the screen tearing issue is just something that is a byproduct of this LCD screen? Specifically for the Game Gear on VGA output it seems to tear quite a but so not sure if there was any way to try and mitigate this. The Lynx on the other hand seems fine with very little tearing. Thanks again!
