+karri Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 If this is a modern Lynx remake that plays original carts I am in. For emulating I already have RetroPie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, if it EVER is available for widespread distribution. It is not cheap, but neither is fully upgrading a legacy Lynx. Makes sense if it plays the Lynx carts. This will safely carry me till my demise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldLeader Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 It's a PRE ORDER...It's SOLD OUT, and I CAN'T AFFORD IT ANYWAY. Also it's rainy and cold out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it succeeds - there will be more of these made. Lots more. Creating quality plastic molds is not cheap. So they have to make a pretty large run to get even. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+davidcalgary29 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I'm waiting for the Gizmondo adapter! Disappointed, but not surprised, that this looks like a 2022 release now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+davidcalgary29 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 It doesn't seem that anyone from the first round of orders has received their system. I won't be buying one until the Lynx adaptor is confirmed not be vapourware. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 So far Analogue has been one of the most competent modern retro game hardware companies. I am going to order the Lynx and HuCARD adapters (and, heck, why not the NGPC adapter) as soon as they are open for preorder, which rumors suggest will be tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking about getting one. This will be amazing when jailbroken. The controls are perfectly set up for SNES. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnuth Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 While this looks cool, I’ve replaced all the old screens on my handhelds with modern equivalents. So I’m going to sit this one out. If I’d hadn’t gone to all that trouble to upgrade my old systems I’d be all over this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’d hadn’t gone to all that trouble to upgrade my old systems I’d be all over this. Ditto... I haven't exactly been starved of GB/GBC/GBA/GG action over the past few decades (I've always been a handheld kind of guy ), not to mention modding a few of them in recent years with new screens. But I think the other half of the appeal of the Pocket is what we are hoping comes in the future. It will be pretty nice to have a handheld TG16/PCE since I've never had a Turbo Express. And if SNES/Genny or whatever else happens that would be awesome as well to have them in a portable handheld format. Here's hoping! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 The screen on this is much, much higher resolution than the screens typically used in retro modding. I have never cared for the slight stretching of the image. That should be a non-issue here. I'll let you know how it goes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldLeader Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Ah well, It's Only money. I'm getting up early, and I'm gonna try and get one! Anybody else notice that line about how if you're caught selling your pre-order before it's delivered, they move you to the back of the line haha?... (Take That! Re-Sellers!) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roots.genoa Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I'll just try to grab a dock in less than 4 hours, but since I still haven't got my shipping email, I find kinda frustrating to place another order before the first shipped. ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilsaluki Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 It's on. Got my A.P. on order. Still the adapters are not available. Hopefully this will not be sketchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher5.0 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I got one with a screen protector and case. Fingers crossed I'm in Q1 2022 but wouldn't be surprised if in Q4. I checked out within seconds but still had to wait in line for 2 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilsaluki Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Wonder when the Lynx Adapter will be available. And, for that matter, why is it not available now? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I think they want to concentrate on the stuff that is already shipping. I ordered three midi cables and realized too late that it cost $26 for shipping. $26!!! For three short cables! Yikes! I wonder if I can cancel it… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I'm looking forward to having a really nice Gameboy. Mine arrives on Thursday (in 2 days). I have a stash of cartridges and I'm going to try and focus on one game at a time, and resist using a flash cartridge or jailbreak. We'll see how long that lasts ... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+karri Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I put in my order during a break about 40 minutes late and had no problem getting through. But there was no Lynx adapter available. I really hope they make it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
