Lynx.emu vs Íris Emulator

Lynx.emu is an open-source Atari Lynx emulator based on Mednafen/Handy, with a minimalist interface aimed at low audio and video latency. It supports.lnx files, optionally compressed in ZIP, RAR, or 7Z archives, and offers configurable on-screen controls. Bluetooth and USB gamepads and keyboards are supported when the operating system recognizes them as HID devices; Xbox and PS4 controllers are listed examples. On Android, it can open files from internal storage, SD cards, and USB drives. The app does not include ROMs, so users supply their own. The EmuEX project targets Android, iOS, and Linux, though the listed Lynx.emu platforms are Android and Linux. Android versions require Android OS 2.3 or later; Linux builds require OpenGL 3.3 support on a desktop or a Pandora handheld. The Android app costs $2.99, paid once. The project is GPLv3 licensed, and the Google Play listing reports no data collected or shared with third parties.

Íris Emulator is a free, open-source emulator for Atari 2600, Atari Lynx, and Atari Jaguar games on 64-bit Windows 10 or 11. The Atari 2600 core emulates the 6507 CPU and TIA, with NTSC, PAL, and SECAM support and several cartridge mappers. Lynx emulation covers the 65C02, Mikey, and Suzy, with LNX cartridges, HLE boot for homebrew, and optional user-supplied boot ROM support for commercial games. Jaguar support includes .j64 and .jag cartridges, RF Cable and S-Video filters, upscaling to 1080p, and Auto, 4:3, or 16:9 display ratios. The interface offers cover-art browsing, a first-launch wizard, fullscreen mode, remappable keyboard and gamepad controls, and ten save-state slots. VST3 audio processing uses a reorderable chain and master gain. Optional Discord Rich Presence requires the Discord desktop app. ROMs and BIOS files are not included.
