It wasn’t released back in the days, so it’s put on newly made carts for particulary interested people (collectors or people like me just curious what the Lynx could do or where it was about to go if not discontinued): Edited May 9 by Giles N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordKraken Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) I think what you have in your hand is - as the sticker said - a prototype, i.e. a non-finished game, probably in its early stage of development. So it not surprising that the game does not work as expected, has glitches, and even crashes. Edited May 10 by LordKraken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42bs Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Additionally: A regular Lynx card checks the contents. And if it is not correct you cannot go past the title screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve played on emulator on PC/Online to device, and it’s much more complete there, with 11 tracks, etc. 8 hours ago, 42bs said: Additionally: A regular Lynx card checks the contents.

Yes, it must be this check it cannot pass unless they’ve used a ROM older than the almost complete prototype which I can playthrough on emulator.

Nope, if the ROM data is not correct, it want go past the title screen. No music, no game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is both music and game; it’s just wrong (mudic-j track and - uhm - wrong (course-)track, , but it boots and it picks up my controller input correctly.

Giles N Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) I think my Adapter may have become damaged: it won’t play the games it ran flawlessly anymore. Perhaps time to get another set. That is: it may be the adapter not the cart… Time will tell/show… Edited May 11 by Giles N 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there an official source for this news? I never got a response to my support ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+karri Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Nice! I also tried the EOTB. But the RAM chip on the cart prevents it to be inserted to the adapter. The original Alpine Games cart does fit in the adapter. But I wonder if the re-make with the larger plastics fit in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42bs Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Just checked LNICCC2000 and it runs to quick. On the real Lynx it needs 95s on AP only 84s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know/have contact with Kev, - perhaps you could ask him whether he knows the Lynx protos work or not on the adapter…? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try not to bother him. But he usually reads stuff here, and acts accordingly, don't worry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
