The official RetroArch documentation page for Atari Lynx compatibility does not maintain a fixed list of working or broken games. Instead, it names the Atari Lynx cores available in RetroArch and directs per-game problem reporting to each core's own issue tracker, so information stays current.
The four Atari Lynx cores
- Beetle Lynx
- Gearlynx
- Handy
- Holani
How to check or report a per-game issue
- Identify which Atari Lynx core you are using or intend to use.
- Open that core's issue tracker from the table below.
- Search the tracker for the game you are troubleshooting to see whether the problem is already recorded.
- If the problem is not listed, file a new report on that core's tracker.
The documentation explains that the trackers are used instead of a local game list because a static list would go stale, while issues on each core's tracker stay with the core that owns them.
Known issues recorded in the documentation
The page records one game-specific entry: RoadBlasters shows graphics glitches—minor flickering and glitches after starting a race—on both the Beetle Lynx and Handy cores.
Gearlynx and Holani are described as newer cores with no entries in the documentation's known-issues list; the page directs readers to their issue trackers for current status.
