What Felix is

Felix is a free Atari Lynx emulator for Windows, distributed as a public GitHub repository under the MIT license. Its release notes describe a simple graphical interface, redefinable key mapping, and basic gamepad support. Lua debugging facilities and a monitor window are listed, along with commands for dumping WAV and VGM audio files. Lua libraries for string, os, math, and table functions are included. The README says Felix currently builds only under Windows, while expecting compatibility with Wine, Parallels, and similar environments. Building requires Visual Studio 2022, Git, and CMake, with documented Visual Studio or command-line CMake routes. Version 0.6.4 is listed as the latest release. Known issues in version 0.6.0 notes include hangs in Awesome Golf and Scrapyard Dog, crackling from audio/video synchronization, and debugging features that remain imperfect. The laoo account maintainer is Waldemar Pawlaszek, whose profile lists Wrocław.
