Curt Vendel Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Somone emailed me and asked if Atari ever did a Scan Converter for the Atari Lynx Handheld... Well, Happy Birthday Lynx, see attached technical files, jed's, schematics and other needed files to build you own Lynx to TV scan converter.

carmel_andrews Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 not that i am the techie type but, is this the same has having a 'tv tuner' for the lynx, like there were s'posed to be for the game gear and also the turboexpress I defo remember the turboexpress one as I saw a t/e complete with tuner on sale at a retro gaming shop (did not buy it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCPCD Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi ! You can found next pdf version of schematics of the board converted from Curt's files Lynx_Vid_pdf.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 GREAT thanks Curt ! We're currently trying to reverse-engineer Rygar's Atari Lynx-to-TV adapter, to duplicate it using modern technologies, i.e. a FPGA instead of tons of discrete logic. (http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=139066 http://www.yaronet.com/posts.php?s=118999) Having the schematics will be very useful !

Curt Vendel Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Ah, okay, well this design doesn't look very complicated, nor it is very component intense and since all of the code for the PALs is there, building a new design/board should be fairly straight forward, I half caught myself last night firing up the CAD/CAM and working on it, but I've got waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much on my plate as it is, and until they made 72hour long days, I think it's best to let others work on it, especially if there is a strong contingent of very eager Lynx enthusiasts who can do a solid design that is fairly low cost.
