Odysim is a simulator. Should it be removed?[edit]
Odysim is not an emulator, but a simulator according to the official website. Should it be removed from here (or at least reduced to a footnote)?
- I might be wrong. But if it is "Cycle accurate" it means it does fully emulate the hardware. It's probably called a simulator because it's also implement the non-electronic hardware (Layouts and game-pieces) in the display, so the expirience is not completely authentic. If I'm correct here, the article should probably explain this stuff.--Nngnna (talk) 08:32, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
- Odyssey is a weird beast because so much of the experience is based on the overlays and game rules. The line between emulator and simulator is really blurry for this console. OdySim absolutely deserves to be here. Dodgyville (talk) 01:59, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
