Mednafen: emulator for Lynx, and others

[+LS650]

I stumbled into this multi-machine emulator called Mednafen. It emulates the Atari Lynx, along with several other machines:

Mednafen is a portable, utilizing OpenGL and SDL, argument(command-line)-driven multi-system emulator with many advanced features. The Atari Lynx, GameBoy (Color), GameBoy Advance, NES, PC Engine(TurboGrafx 16), SuperGrafx, Neo Geo Pocket (Color), PC-FX, and WonderSwan (Color) are emulated. Mednafen has the ability to remap hotkey functions and virtual system inputs to a keyboard, a joystick, or both simultaneously. Save states are supported, as is real-time game rewinding. Screen snapshots may be taken at the press of a button, and are saved in the popular PNG file format.

I haven't had much of a chance to play around with it yet, myself...

If you like playing around with dos based emu's then it's right up your street...sorry, the CLI based o/s's aren't my bag

After playing with this emulator a bit last night, it looks like it incorporates Handy's open source into it, so I can't see that it does much that isn't already down by Handy.

The great thing about Mednafen, though, is it's the only Lynx emulator that works natively under Linux (IIRC). It's not user-friendly, and the name "mednafen" sounds more like a prescription drug, but it gets the job done if you can't run Handy.

Supposedly mednafen has better sound then handy. But personally I have found that I like Handy's sound better.
