      Atari Lynx doesn't seem to working on my RPi 4. Each game I try to start brings up these weird color changing rectangles and that's it. Pressing select rotates the rectangle. All lr controls work - it's the game isn't booting. I do have the BIOS file in place. Whichever emulator I use - lr-handy or lr-beetle-lynx - the outcome is exactly the same.

      My games are on a 2TB external drive, all in the .7z format. According to the Retropie docs, that format should work for both emulators.

      What do I do?

      Thanks!

        @gordonfreemanjr I had the exact same issue.

        I solved it by swapping the lynxboot.img bios file with another one that had the correct MD5sum:
