Title: BREAKING NEWS!
Post by: erico on 2011-Apr-01
Sorry I should have posted this on ANNOUNCEMENTS.

Yesterday I finally managed to port GLBASIC to ATARI LYNX.
After months of hard work, now all compiles perfectly.

I will be releasing the sdk quite soon.

It is a great time for GLBASIC, specially now that APPLE and MICROSOFT recently merged their mobile plataform SDK to the atari's one.

Now we have no excuse to create the best games for the best gear!

PS:. I'm still having problems reading the START button, could someone help?

It sure is, my brother bought it in 1992 while he was exchanging in the US.
Couple years ago I had to fix the electricity cord and buy a new plug, but that was all.
I wonder if this is a reason atari failed on this front, the portable still works perfectly to this day.(if I dare say portable)
The LCD is getting vertical bands, but nothing that stops you from playing.
It's my pet gear!

That's the first thing that popped into my mind too.  Well maybe second.  First was "Brilliant April 1 joke". :)
