Hi folks!
Last year wasn't my best year as many personal things happened but now it's a new year which just started and hopefully it will be (way) better than last year. So i'm back (for the better or worst...LOL!!).
But now all the files concerning the OdySim project are backed-up on a DVD somewhere (it's been 4-5 moths so a lot of water has passed under the bridge) but no fear, i won't have to dig too much. The only problem is to remember where i left off before all Hell broke loose.
I know that still need scans of some parts of "Baseball" and 'Invasion" to be able to finish the OdySim because there were only a few games left to simulate. So i'll be back very soon and in the meantime, here's a link to an auction which i find it a bit "disturbing":
Magnavox Odyssey 1 Video Game System Prototype Salesmen Sample
Look like it's a near mint Magnavox Odyssey but just plain ordinary as there is no paper or marks or indications that a "prototype" whatsoever...or even a salemen sample. If this would have been the Skill-O-Vision prototype than i would be drooling right now (LOL!!) but that's not the case.
So i wonder how much an Odyssey briefcase plus an Odyssey console both signed by Ralph H. Baer is worth ? Like i wrote, just wondering...
So "blog" you soon!

Great to hear your in place where you can get back into OdySim.
Having only recently discovered OdySim it really is an awesome piece of work allowing us to experience this first console.
My only first generation experience is my PC-50x Systems. Nice to see these pre-second generation systems getting the simulation treatment.
Condolences again, and I think 2018 will be a much better year for you! Thanks again for finally brining the world the Odyssey similulator that was missing from the retro landscape !
Hi Sut & CN10,
Sorry for the late reply and even more since it's on my blog but i don't always check on comments and emails.
Well 2018 has been so far...er..up & down."Up" as i finally brought a house and "down" as i had a car accident and the car is a total lost and this happened on my birthday. At least no one is dead or gotten hurt, just bumps & scratches.
Sut: Thanks very much for the kind words, i greatly appreciate it (even more in bad times). If M.A.M.E team doesn't emulate the PC-50X in a near future, it will make a simulator about this system as dedicated chips is on my "to-do" list but the question is "when ?" That i don't know...
Brian (CN10): Thanks again "mon ami" and i am trying my best i can to simulate all the Odyssey games and i know you enjoy them! =)
