1st generation console emulators

[MuseumCurator]

There needs to be more emulators for 1st generation consoles as I have only found 1 and it's so old it only works on DOS so you need the DOSBOX emulator just to run it. The ODYEmu emulates the Magnavox Odyssey, the first ever video game console made in 1972, but it was made back in 1999 when DOS was still being used. There needs to be a new emulator for the Magnavox Odyssey that works for Windows, iOS, and maybe even Linux. I know 1st generation consoles are really old in terms of video games but that doesn't mean that there's nobody out there that wants to play them.

In case you aren't sure which consoles are in the 1st geneneration here's a list:

Spoiler warning:

Magnavox Oddysey
Magnavox Oddysey 100

http://www.old-computers.com/museum/default.asp a good place to look

Not sure what MESS covers now (Part of MAME now)

There was nothing I was looking for on that site, that's mainly for computers not consoles but thanks anyway.

sorry the site seems to be a bit broken

change the letter on the end

They do cover retro consoles also

Though I don't think you will find what you are looking for

As for MESS they have a list over at http://www.progettoemma.net/mess/sysset.php again I am sure they don't do what you want

For emulation though devs would need technical data possibly even dumped games and or chip sets to work with

The main problems with those early consoles is they even don't have a CPU, it's just a bunch of TTL.

Therefore they are not in MAME/MESS. They could be added, but much info is needed and they are a pain to code up.
