Handy/SDL Screenshot

Handy is software dedicated to emulating the Atari Lynx hardware on a standard PC. The software was originally developed by Keith Wilkins [http://handy.sf.net] and was released under the GPL on 14th April 2004.

Handy/SDL is a port of the WIN32 sourcecode so that it can be used with the GCC compiler and the Simple Directmedia Layer (SDL) library.

Currently Handy/SDL compiles on WIN32 using mingw, and possible also on UN*X based systems (BeOS, Linux and FreeBSD). It may run on other systems as well but we can not guarantee that.

The port was done by the SDLEMU crew (http://sdlemu.ngemu.com) and especially by Niels Wagenaar and Carwin Jones. You may contact us by e-mail using sdlemu AT ngemu DOT com or leave a message on the SDLEMU Official Forum (see the website). Patches and bugfixes are particularly welcome! :)

More information about SDL can be found at http://www.libsdl.org.

Note that the OpenSource release is not quite as 'advanced' as the originally released Handy/SDL v0.82-R1. The sources have been lost and everything was done from scratch. Please be patient for newer releases with more functionality.

- Taken from the Handy/SDL homepage and/or documentation
- Some excerpts edited for grammar, length, and clarity

The WIN32 version of Handy/SDL is compatible with Windows Vista as of 11/02/2008.

Handy/SDL has great compatibility and runs at or near full speed. It`s an excellent emulator and a great choice for emulating the Atari Lynx handheld. It`s available for Linux, Windows, and BeOS. It does lack a GUI, but for those that feel comfortable in the terminal or command prompt, it`s a great choice. If the lack of a GUI makes this one a "no-go" for you, try the original Handy. It`s a great emulator as well.
