Atari Lynx Emulation

There are two emulators for the Atari Lynx, Handy and MetaLynx. At this time it only seems that Handy is being updated as MetaLynx hasn't been touched in three years. However, Handy does a good job of emulating most Lynx games.

If you're new to emulation, we suggest you read the Beginner's Guide to Emulation to give you an idea of what you're looking at.

Game ROMs:

ROMs are binary versions of your favorite classic games, they contain the actual code of the original cartridge. In order to enjoy emulation, you will need to download an emulator and the game ROMs that you want to play. Lynx emulation isn't perfect, but the majority of games can be emulated with Handy (see below).
