Quoted from benheck:I was thinking about removing all the ICs from an Atari Lynx and rebuilding it into a smaller unit custom PCB using one of the new replacement LCD's.
Thoughts?
I'm a fan of the Lynx, so it's cool that you're considering this project. Using a replacement LCD seems topical with the 8-bit guys recent vid. If a replacement LCD for the Lynx could take advantage of the same pixel-doubling scheme, that would be ideal!
How much could it be scaled down? I imagine there's plenty of room for optimization here. Is it possible that so much space can be saved that it can be reconfigured into a more gameboy-style layout? ...the Nintari Gamelynx? (It seems like heresy to suggest this, but 35 years of Nintendo marketing have left me unable to imagine any other button configuration)
So yes, as the *other* Lynx enthusiast on the internet I would like to see what you can do with this!
