No Source code!

This is a port of Handy320 v0.1 for Dingux and OpenDingux that is based upon Handy SDL by SDLemu Team and Handy v0.90 by K. Wilkins.


The first port to 3DS was by Hippy Dave who made a fake SDL layer using Xerpi 3DS libs (sf2dlib, sftdlib, sfillib). Hippy Dave released the source (HERE) to the GBATemp community and I adopted the project.

The v1.0 of the emulator uses the font Hack by Chris Simpkins, released under Public domain, GPL, OFL. Stating from V1.1 it uses ROBOTO font.

The code for v1.0 is on my Github for public contibution. I'll update it to v1.1 as soon as I have time to reinstall github client.

  • Fixed Sound and Framerate limit for N3DS

  • Added png images in skin folder for empty saveslot and Load Game screen (can be modified respecting image sizes)
  • Modified the name of top screen background image and proposed a better image
  • Cleaned all the code related to frameskip (doesn't make sense with HW rendering as it's is very lightweight)
  • Disabled state saving on exit (not very usefull and caused some strange crashes)
  • Implemented a basic and very crackling sound output (disabled by default as not practically usable at the moment)
  • Some code cleaning

Ver. 0.1 alpha (5 August 2015)

  • First release

Installation

Decompress the content of the zip file in the root directory of the 3DS SD. The 3DS/Handy3ds folder contains the 3dsx files and a CIA package.

The lynx folder in the root of the SD contains the BIOS file, Roms files, Skin files and in the future the config file.

Search Lynxboot.img on internet (it's ATARI copyrighted material) and put it on the SD in the /lynx/Bios folder.

Search some lynx roms and put them in the /lynx/Roms folder. There are also good homebrew roms available

In the /lynx/Skin folder there is a basic background, an empty saveslot image and a Load Rom screen image, all in 32bpp png format. If someone want to make a custom skins, Background image size is not fixed, it will be fitted to the top screen size, but it's better to respect the 400x240 size. The other two are fixed size and will not be loaded if have wrong sizes.

While running a ROM you can change the screen size with the Back left buton.

Known Bugs

- Sometimes the emulators hangs
- CIA version can't resume the emulator if you go to 3DS menu and then go back to the program

To Do List

- Adding other localizations (I need Spanish translators)
