Handy PSP is an emulator of Atari Lynx, an 8/16-bit handheld game console that was released by Atari Corporation in September 1989.

This is a port of the Handy emulator to the Sony PlayStation Portable platform, written in C and C++ and uses GU (Graphical Utility toolkit) for rendering by Akop Karapetyan (aka Uberjack).

Features

• Load rom from ZIP files.
• Custom key mappings.
