We are moving all Atari Lynx related content over to Atari Lynx Vault and all our shop content over to K-Retro Gaming. Please update your bookmarks!

As a result of this change, the following will no longer be available: Online Lynx Emulator, Collection Tracker, Game Ratings, News. If you are interested in contributing content to Atari Lynx Vault, we are seeking editors and maintainers.

Why is this happening? First - the Atari Gamer branding is changing to K-Retro Gaming to allow us to expand to providing games, replacement parts, and mod services to other game consoles. And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a new and modern content management system and chose a website domain that better suits the subject matter. Since we are operating this website in our spare time, on top of full time family and job committments, some features had to be dropped.

AgaCart

This is a multicart that can play LYX format ROMs. It's named after the creator's daughter.

Technical details:
- support for SD and SDHC cards up to 32GB in the micro standard, 8GB SD card + microSD adapter included in the set
- support for FAT16 and FAT32 file systems
- software upgrade from the SD card (bootloader)
- the ability to enable / disable verification of writing to the SRAM memory
- handling the cart with two buttons, right increases the number of the game by 1, left by 10
- 9 memory cells to remember the most-used or favorite games, so-called Speed ​​Dial
- selection of one of the two methods of card operation:
  1. after starting the console, the cart waits for selecting the number of the game, only after it is selected reads from the SD and writes to the SRAM
  2. when the console is started, the last number of the game that was last used is automatically read from the SD and saved to SRAM
- support for .lyx files in the size of 256k and 512k. The right tools and description for converting files from .lnx and .o and 128k files will be saved on the supplied SD card
- reading from SD and writing to the SRAM memory is indicated by a flashing letter P on the cart display, then the SD card is disconnected from power to save energy
- while rewriting data from SD to SRAM, the console displays a known "Insert Game" message and this is the correct behavior
- error codes shown on the cart display:
  EE means SD card error (no card, bad file system, blank card, damaged card)
  E means file or verification error (no file, wrong file size, wrong file name or extension, write error to SD memory with verification option enabled)
- support for up to 199 files (software restriction due to the display)
- every time you start the console, the card counts the number of files in the root directory of the SD card and does not allow you to choose a number larger than the actual number of files
- SD card structure: one subdirectory of any name MUST be located in the root directory, its contents are ignored by the cart software. You can keep there whatever you want, all the games and demos I have found on the web (converted to .LYX), conversion software and instructions will be stored there. In the main directory of the card MUST be at least one file with the game, otherwise card will report an error. File names MUST be in number.lyx format
