rygar Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) I make a small poll to know how many persons would be interested to buy a “lynxvision”. It would be a small unit that would be connected to a modified lynx . If there is enough demand (and if the realization is not too much complicated) I intend to produce these machines before 2010. If there is not enough demand, then this machine will stay in my archives … If you are interested, here are the three options : 1-Yes, I want this machine and the price is not a problem. 2-Yes, I want this machine provided that the price does not exceed 800€/$1000 3-Yes, I want this machine provided that the price does not exceed 400€/$500 Edited February 12, 2009 by rygar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Uh, what exactly is a Lynxvision? Is this something to connect a Lynx to a TV set? If so, it sounds like a great idea - but $500 is way out of my league... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+LS650 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I take it this is a Lynxvision..? Yeah, I would love to have one - if it is affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Interested at $500. Give a heads up around summer to start saving money to buy this in 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedenLynxer Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Yes, I would buy one! But I like to know more and see some specifications before deciding how much I would be willing to pay. Would a ”Lynxvision” priced at $500 lack any cool or vital features and have bad quality on the components and material? $500 to $1000 (and beyond?) just seem like a big gap. Mass production benefits or wherein lies the difference when you estimate the price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Thag Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 (edited) It's a neat idea, and yeah, and I'd love to play lynx games on my TV. That said, no way in hell I'd pay that kind of money for one though. It would have to be far cheaper to even make me remotely interested in buying.

Shawn Jefferson Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Unfortunately, I'd have to agree with Thag. I just couldn't justify paying that much money for something like that... even though it would be pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longhorn Engineer Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Could you possibly release schematics so us DIYers can take a stab at it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I agree... it is a nice thing to have, but even me... who wants everything for the Lynx, won't really justify spending that much. I understand that it is costly... If it was cheaper, than I would grab one easily! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Smeghead Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Sorry, but I'm in the same thought process as others. A really cool idea and as I get older, to be able to see the games on a large screen TV would be helpful/beneficial. But I doubt I'd be able to justify $500. $200-300, perhaps. Cheers, Smeg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonner242 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I'm following the pack....even the cheapest at $500 is twice of what I would feel comfortable spending...Sounds sweet but....its abit steep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shou Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 $500 is the max for myself and it would have to support RGB and stereo output. Would love to see schematics for DIY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Lemmings alone would be worth getting the thing for....providing it is not to expensive (but evven $500 is pushing it, I like the lynx, but I don't love the lynx) Also, I'd have to know features of the thing, how it hooks up (how much work that would be on my part, I'm a dunce when it comes to any6thing more complicated than a controller) I'd seriously consider it at $200, maybe $300, but $500 just seems to much. If you got enough interest to get the price down to say $100-$200 I'd be sold though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRGilbert Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) I can certainly appreciate the tech know-how that would go into making something like this, but wouldn't it more practical to just play Lynx games on a TV with a $50 modded Xbox?

There are plenty of Lemmings ports on other systems, and they will even look better on TV. I´d understand if you wanted to play a Lynx-exclusive on TV, but one of the games that was ported to about every console on earth... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Cause it's the only version I havven't beaten to death, and is a different resolution and lagitimately plays differently (without sucking like some of the other games *cough Gameboy color cough* out there) I guess I do tend to play the SNES version more (just for the music if nothing else) but....come to think of it, there aren't that many games I care about on the lynx, though I only got like 20, and chips challenge is dead, so that won't be one (though that's another game that I'd think would be worth it, and afaik, not on other consoles) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadest Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I just can tell that Gauntlet with this device is just unplayable. I guess Klax also Btw, I have seen the magical box at the AC 2k9 show, it is really impressive and has lots of components (maybe there are some pics somewhere).

Lynxman Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I just can tell that Gauntlet with this device is just unplayable.

Catsmasher Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I have another idea. How about a USB cable system that attaches the Lynx to a computer. Play using the Lynx for the controls, and the computer for image and sound - with power from the USB cable. For around 25-50 bucks Huh Huh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the Lynx-to-TV-Solution is 100% Cool, the PC solution will be maximum 10%! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
