📱About Atari Lynx
The Lynx was the first colour backlit handheld, launched in 1989 with hardware scaling and rotation the Game Boy could not touch. It could also be held either way up for left-handed players. Battery life and price sank it.
R36S Compatibility (Perfect): Full-speed on all R36 models. Rotated games need a display-rotation option in the emulator.
