Gearlynx

Product: Gearlynx is an open source Atari Lynx emulator and debugger written in C++.
Emulation: It supports the commercial Atari Lynx catalog and most homebrew and demo software, with selectable Lynx I or Lynx II emulation.
ROM support: It supports compressed and homebrew ROM formats including lnx, lyx, o, bin, and zip.
Save and latency features: Features include save states with previews, rewind, run-ahead to reduce input latency, and EEPROM and NVRAM save files.
Multiplayer: ComLynx multiplayer supports up to eight emulator instances on the same computer.
Debugger: The debugger includes a disassembler, CPU and memory breakpoints, debug symbols, a memory editor and search, hardware register viewers, and cartridge and video inspectors.
AI integration: Its embedded MCP server supports AI-assisted debugging with GitHub Copilot, Claude, Codex, and similar agents, using STDIO or HTTP transport.
MCP security: MCP HTTP mode requires a token for wildcard or other non-loopback binds and checks Host and browser Origin against the connection address.
MCP concurrency limit: Connected HTTP clients control the same emulator instance, so concurrent debugging workflows can interfere with one another.
Other integrations: A separate VS Code source-level debugger connects to Gearlynx through its debug-monitor protocol.
Supported systems: Standalone builds are listed for Windows, Linux, BSD, and macOS; the libretro core documentation lists additional systems including Android, iOS, and Emscripten.
BIOS requirement: Gearlynx requires a BIOS to work; the README recommends the original BIOS with MD5 fcd403db69f54290b51035d82f835e7b.
Support: The project asks users to report bugs or request features by opening a GitHub issue.
License: Gearlynx is licensed under GNU General Public License version 3.0.
