Igor Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 Very welcome and thank you! It's better late than never right? I need to get BLL documented more, your link (http://www.monlynx.de/lynx/bll1701.zip) doesn't work any more, maybe I'm missing some info from some other places though. I'll try and work on getting the programming section on my site expanded more over the next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again thanks Igor, you revived the Lynx homebrew scene! I you and some others did not released BLL and other tools/exploits, I guess the Lynx homebrew scene never had a future at all. So thanks again Igor for this contest, and eternal thanks to you, Matthias, Bjorn, Bernd, Karri and others for what you are have been doing for all these years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 Cool, thanks for that GitHub link, I've added it to the programming resources page now. Also added @Nop90's 4Ttude source code repository to the list. Fadest is correct, without all the ground work that's been done before none of this would have been possible, so thank you too!

Igor Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 We added a micro-USB socket to a Lynx model 2 and can now use USB power banks to run the Lynx. If there's enough interest, we can make this mod available as a kit. https://atarigamer.com/articles/adding-a-micro-usb-power-socket-to-an-atari-lynx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Yes please! But I’d like to run the Lynx directly from AC power (from a USB plug in outlet) instead of a power bank. My kid fried one of my Lynx AC adaptors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nop90 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Nice mod, but I'm worried about the lynx always on, I fried the flash chips of two programmable carts pulling them out with the lynx on.
