I hope he made a lot of money off of patent royalties or whatever and was able to retire.

>>6571456
No lol.

>>6571451
About 20 people were involved afaik

>>6571451

brought to you by the same 'people' to claim carver invented peanut cutter

>>6571462
This needs to be a bannable offense.

>>6571464
Which he absolutely did (and it's spelled butter).

>became the foundation
Found the weasel words.

>>6571461
>>6571451

Why do they always do this? Find the black people involved in project X, which was a team effort, and then loudly claim "BLACK PEOPLE CREATED X".

The whole thing just makes me suspicious of any claims about black peoples achievements, maybe all of it is just lies

Did you know that Super Mario Bros 2 was actually a sprite swap of another game called Doki Doki Panic?

>>6571465
yeah let's just censor everything and become reddit

>>6571497
Let add downvotes too. Best idea ever buddy!

>>6571497

Negroes would unironically, no hyperbole, be living in huts, doing voodoo rituals, hunting with spears and slaving each others to this day if it weren't for whites.

>>6571537
they did however do an excellent job of profiting off the exploitation of their fellow dark skinned tribesmen. 500 years later and not much has changed.

>>6571451
The console mentioned in OP's image is the Fairchild Channel F, the first home video game console to employ the concept of multiple interchangeable game cartridges. It was released in North America in 1976. The Atari VCS, (Atari 2600) which would launch in America a year later, was inspired by the concept and its popularity and influence made it the industry standard from then on.

Jerry Lawson passed away in 2011.

>>6571469
same
i now never trust anything that says "blacks did x"
every time i have looked into it it turns out they didnt
or they were 1 member of a large team doing the least important thing

>>6571741
It's ok, you can get repros of him from China

>>6571741
the pictured quote is poorly worded, it just says "to use cartridges", not specifying that game programs were on the cartridges
the magnavox odyssey came out in 1972 and used cartridges to alter it's behaviour
yes, they're just jumper boards, but with that wording, is applicable
it's also fair to say that it would have inspired actually putting complete game code onto cartridges just like it, they perform the same job, after all

>>6571496
Big if true.

>>6571451
>>6571469
So did Jerry Lawson invent video game cartridges or what?

>>6571793
>>6571754

>>6571805
it doesn't answer my question and is worded poorly. Also "it's" means "it has" "it was", or "it is", not the correct "its" the punctuation needed.
So who fucking invented cartridges. It sure looks like Lawson did and some people just want to say he didn't because he's black.

[?]^^
Retarded punctuation is catching.

>>6571496
how did they get away with this for so long

>>6571484
Video game cartridge, not just video game home console

>>6571451
Yes. Now do you know who this man is and his massive contribution to the electronics field that allows people to post about and play videogames?

>>6571825
it uses cartridges to configure the behaviour of the system
not what you'd normally consider a game cart in the sense that the games are computer programs stored on those carts, but game carts nonetheless

i know it's a bit of a stretch, but come on, you're telling me this didn't inspire people to do the same thing but with computer programs? it was just a matter of tech advancing to allow it, the idea was clearly there from the beginning, as while these don't technically contain a game, they perform the exact same function of altering what game you play on the system

>>6571834
Seriously, please tell is more. And someone answer my question: Did Jerry Lawson invent video game cartridges or not?! It's a simple question.

>>6571838
tl;dr, my point is that while technically they're not at all like modern game carts, but from a consumer point of view, they're exactly the same
it introduces a system where you can play different games by inserting different cartridges

>>6571846
WHO INVENTED VIDEO GAME CARTRIDGES?
Why can't people answer a simple Buddhadamn question anymore?

>>6571849
this guy >>6571484
made the magnavox odyssey (>>6571838)

>>6571851
The Odyssey did not have cartridges.
So I take it that Lawson did invent shells around games to protect them (carts).

>>6571469
Because they're trying to compensate for the fact that, throughout history, whenever somebody other than a white guy did anything, it was re-credited to the white guy. They're just trying to build awareness that women, black people etc. have been making things all along too.

>>6571840
No single person has ever invented or discovered anything singlehandedly. It's always a team effort that builds on numerous precursors' work.

>>6571865
Bullshit. Lawson invented video game carts. Why does that bother you? There's good and bad and smart and dumb in all races.

>>6571868
taking an existing idea and expanding on it is called an innovation, not an invention
are you suggesting that the cartridges of the odyssey bear no resemblence in appearance and purpose to modern computer video game cartridges?

>>6571461
Lawson was the chief engineer, so if we credit one person in particular, it makes sense that it would be him

>>6571497
4chan already has censorship stupid. At least this would raise the quality of the board.

>>6571873
>are you suggesting that the cartridges of the odyssey bear no resemblence in appearance and purpose to modern computer video game cartridges?

Yes.

>>6571838
Why are you so angry that a black man made something

>>6571883
why? do they not change the system behaviour enough?
is it because the pins are exposed? (there are examples of far newer systems with exposed cart pins)
because the carts themselves are not named? (though the system did have separately sold games which came with unique cartridges)
is it just because they don't contain a computer program? are they just too simple? at what point do they become sufficiently complex?
while i understand they're not exactly the same, i find it difficult not to recognize their similarities
>>6571903
this has nothing to do with race, don't pull that "you're just ****ist" non-argument

>>6571873
>taking an existing idea and expanding on it is called an innovation, not an invention
Literally just some bs definition you made up.

From an online law dictionary:
>An invention is also a new, useful, and nonobvious improvement of a process, machine, or product.

Like seriously, there are so many patents that are just modifications of existing things I don't know how you got that idea into your head

>>6571903
This.
I'm not even one to want to hear the whining and lying that usually goes on regarding different groups and orgs manipulating people using the race issue;etc, but this is a clear case of some people being butthurt over a significant contribution to the world. Somehow because a guy with different colored skin and bone structures made something really cool, it's not because of his color? That is primitive thinking rooted in team politics. Teams are good for sports and that's it. Remember that.

>>6571903
shit, accusation of racism, there's no winning an argument from here

>>6571923
They're right this time, though.

>>6571908
>why?
The Odyssey "carts" were glorified switches if you're being honest, and you're not.

>>6571754
OPs shit and the shit you're replying to are both poorly worded, probably because they're written by tards. It should be no surprise that the internet is full of stupid people.

>>6571947
This as well^
Anon, I just give up and ignore posts that make no sense, I'm sure you do the same as much as possible. What's worse is how their fellow retards somehow understand their badly worded and thought out nonsense. It's like they have their own tard language.

>>6571930
literally called them that early on, see >>6571754
>yes, they're just jumper boards, but with that wording, is applicable

Cool retro gaming fact:
In the classic game Wing Commander, the text "Thank you for playing Wing Commander!" that played when you exit the game was just put in there to cover up an error
https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/249475/More_dirty_coding_tricks_from_game_developers.php

>>6571957
So it's settled then, Jerry Lawson chiefly invented video game cartridges in the modern practical sense.

>>6571451
Remember back in the 90's when nobody pretended to care? Nobody born after 1970 was surprised that a black man could accomplish something. Now we applaud when he doesn't have to go back and wipe a second time. They're just sitting there waiting in their poor, retarded poverty until great white Karen descends from the sky on wings of liberal enlightenment. These idiots would never say it, but they think of black people as savages, and it's the white person's job to elevate them. Black people have got to feel so insulted by how infantilized they are by modern pop culture.
Why can't we be like pic again? Race used to be such a funny, curious little thing that mattered only to the pettiest.
Our culture was sabotaged by political scam artists looking for a cheap vote.

>>6571930
if one wanted to be pedantic, modern game carts can also be described as glorified switches as well
thousands to millions of switches, which form interpreted words to be processed by a microprocessor
it's a stretch, but is it wrong?
at what point does a switchboard turn into a program rom?

>>6571971
And morally unfulfilled sociology professors looking for a crusade.

>>6571971
No one's doing that in this thread but you, race-baiter. Go back to /pol/.

>>6571754
magnavox games were called game cards, not cartridges

>>6571968
sure, i don't know of an earlier example of game cartridges containing a game program rom for execution on a microprocessor, if you want to be that specific
i have nothing against this, it's clearly a good idea, i just it's an obvious step beyond what the odyssey did

>>6571973
>if one wanted to be pedantic, modern game carts can also be described as glorified switches as well
HAHAHHA no. Hell, SNES game-Super FX chip or not-were radically different and far more advanced than an Odyssey "cartridge."

>>6571981
so are the DS/3DS/Switch game cards, or master system cards, or tg16 hucards, etc

>>6571990
but those didn't exist in the 70s, you're being obtuse

>>6571451
Prepare to have your mind blown out the back of your fukken skull! You ready for this? A lot of video games are made by Asians! Yeah, you heard me bichh! Asians! Like Chinese peeps, but from JApan, mutherfucker.
You're brain-vagina just got inseminated with the knowledge, bitchcake!

Pic related, but only spiritually.

>>6571990
Those had significantly massive (at the time) ROMs inside them that were wholly the game; you can't compare Odyssey card switches to PC Engine "cards". Cards in quotes because by then that was simply a name for its shape, not its function.

>>6571985
carts with add-on chips are another beast entirely
i'm talking about carts with just program rom(s), no processing of their own like memory mappers or co-processors
like a basic atari 2k cart is just a microscopic array of on/off switches, there's no denying it

>>6571995
they adhere to the definition of a cartridge just the same

>>6572002
It doesn't matter and my post said so if you'd learn to fucking read.

>>6571998
I like you.

>>6572002
>they adhere to the definition of a cartridge just the same
yes, but the magnavox cards don't. a cartridge by definition has memory on it

>>6572005
so it's not the first cartridges because they weren't called cartridges?
by that logic, it's also not the first console, since i doubt it called itself that, either

>>6572013
>so it's not the first cartridges because they weren't called cartridges?
They weren't game software, anon, they were simply just prehistoric Super FX chips in that they modified the electrical pathways on the Odyssey's board, that's it. Switches, really.

Fucking download an Odyssey game, I'll wait. Explain how each download is a game unto itself. Technically. Which is the whole point.

YO HOL UP
YOU BE SAYIN
WE WUZ NINTENDO N SHIT?

>>6571451
ok

thanks jerry

>>6571451
I was pretty sure a white person made the first video game.

>>6572023
i understand they're extremely simple, and don't contain computer software, but that's not what i'm arguing
i'm arguing that you /play different games on the system by changing the cartridge/, which is fundementally the same idea, even if internally their operation is completely different, the odyssey doesn't even have a microprocessor! it's all discrete-logic, no software to run

>>6572032
>i'm arguing that you /play different games on the system by changing the cartridge/,
It was a gimmick, albeit a good one at the time, but the fact remains that the Odyssey could only do one thing. Fuckering around with that one thing didn't make multiple games, not now anyway. Or do you mean to back up my point that Lawson and his team fully created video game cartridges as they are practically used and known for today and since 1976.

>>6572032

>>6571971
The left's goal is a cycle of degradation and "elevation" for certain non-white groups, so they can use hollow promises and symbolic gestures in an effort to get more votes.

>>6571962
>it's not a bug, it's a feature!

>>6572047
yes, i'm i don't know of any prior examples of computer program video game cartridges, as we know them today, than the channel f. i'm not arguing against that, i'm only arguing that the odyssey cartridges clearly serve a similar function in a similar fashion, even if the technology was very different and the carts didn't do anything more than say, the switches on the top of a VCS
the odyssey is so laughably primitive just in general that it's barely a video game console at all, the games are almost completely played like a board or card game, yet people agree it was the first video game console, because it is, strictly speaking, a game which includes an interactive video display

>>6572078
-- like, think about it
if computer software is needed for a game cart to be a game cart
then why is it not also true that a microprocessor to run such software is needed to call a console a console?
is the osyssey not a console at all?

>>6572078
>the odyssey is so laughably primitive just in general that it's barely a video game console at all, the games are almost completely played like a board or card game, yet people agree it was the first video game console, because it is, strictly speaking, a game which includes an interactive video display
Right. Nothing that has been said has been any effort al all to minimize Ralph Baer's massive contribution to video games bar none, regardless of The Odyssey's primitive nature.

>>6572082
You're confusing concepts. Odyssey cards weren't really games technically speaking and were also not cartridges technically speaking as well.

What you're getting into are the shifting definitions of what gaming naming conventions are, e.g., a Mattel Intellivision is-by modern technical definition-a 16 bit video game console; however, the modern colloquial opinion of it is that is not, which is just as invalid as calling an Odyssey card, a game cart.

>>6572092
so it's not a game cart, because it's not what people think of when they think of a game cart?
seems like a pretty weak definition

>>6572092
>a Mattel Intellivision is-by modern technical definition-a 16 bit video game console; however, the modern colloquial opinion of it is that is not
wait, what do people consider it, then?

>>6572096
It's not a game cart because:
1: It's not a cartridge in the technical and practical sense.
and
2: It's not a real game because Odyssey "games" were just daughter boards that altered existing pathways on the Odyssey itself. The Odyssey WAS THE GAME.

These definitions are the strongest ones can abide by, man.

>>6571879
That does make sense, but it’s mystifying how a Black became chief engineer of anything. Maybe he’s half-White, like Obama?

>>6572092
how is the intellivision not a game console?

>>6572109
Most think it's an 8 bit console because it looks like one and came out at a time when authentic 8 bit consoles were ruling the day and believe that 16 bit games came out around the late '80s, when in fact they came out in the late '70s.

>>6572115
he's saying people don't call it 16-bit, but i don't understand why not, it's got a 16-bit cpu, that's the qualification for being 16-bit both technically and colloquially

>>6572115
The Point--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(you)

>>6572119
>and colloquially
Anon, people do not consider it a 16 bit console colloquially at all, which is the point. Otherwise you were right.

>>6572118
are you sure that's not just an assumption?
comparing graphics alone i can understand someone could assume it was 8bit, but that doesn't make it 8bit, while a console's bitness can be questionable sometimes, there's no way at all this is an 8bit console

>>6572131
Of course it's an assumption, one that far too many people make for anyone to claim that colloquially the Intellivision is known for its 16 bit graphics. I mean, the entire bit war thing was a marketing gimmick based upon manipulating the layman's knowledge of the industry. I think fucking Bump N' Jump in the arcade was 16 bit and if not, many of its contemporaries were.

>>6572131
>there's no way at all this is an 8bit console
Not technically, correct, but it has the authentic "8-bit look".

>>6571451
Blacks were based as hell in the 60s and 70s.
It wasn't until the 80s that they became crackheaded baby-factories

>>6571451
imagine being this guy and people only recognize and appreciate your work because of your race

>>6572160
I appreciate what he did and I don't care if he was a Martian.

>>6572160
Except this thread is full of people dismissing his contributions because of his race

Same goes for Baer. His color meant fuck all. As it means for everyone, in practicality anyway, this is to speak nothing of evil political machinations.

Definitions =/= Connotation

Is it 16-bit on a technical level? Sure
But it gets lumped into the 8-bit group because of overall power and graphics. Most people don't give a shit if the nomenclature is perfectly accurate.

>>6571451
What an asshole. If he didn't, we'd have used CDs earlier and shit would've gotten a lot more rad a lot faster.

What difference does it make if people of your race had big achievements or not, what the heck
Also if I was a white dude and saw all the achievements of white peoples I'd feel too pressured and even more of a loser. Like wow, my race invented the internet and went to the moon, and I'm living with mom and dad playing 30 year old games and arguing about them with strangers.

>>6572179
>dismissing his contributions because of his race
who?

>>6572193
back in the day that was probably the case but nowadays people who are interested in intellivisions use the boring technical specification

>>6572201
>we'd have used CDs earlier
they were probably just too expensive at first desu

This is a great thread for real technical video game knowledge and normalfag beliefs regarding same.

>>6572208
examples.
No one is walking around saying "my favorite 16-bit console is the Intellivision"

>>6571640
if /pol/ mutts weren't born into the excess they selfishly take responsibility for they'd be living the exact same way. just replace voodoo rituals with loli succubus summoning rituals

>>6572228
>No one is walking around saying "my favorite 16-bit console is the Intellivision"
that's because no one knows what an intellivision is but those who do acknowledge that it is in fact a 16-bit console.

>>6571673
if you actually believed that the niggos invented slavery or whatever retardation you're getting at then you'd be singing their praises

>>6572221
we've had CD's since 1982, but;
a. it was expensive cutting-edge shit for a while
b. it was only designed for music (the first CD-ROM was in 1985)
c. ram was prohibitively expensive, why does that matter? because you can't run code directly from a CD like you can a mask rom chip, so you need to /load/ necessarily code and assets into work ram, so you'd need a good chunk of the size of a cart worth of space in ram to be able to load levels. can you imagine if the NES had a CD drive? with it's 2K of ram? good luck loading dick into that

>>6571469

It is all lies. I actually can't think of a single thing a black person genuinely invented

>>6572281
Based.

>>6571496
yes, literally every retro youtube channel has made a video about it

>>6571451
>In 1974, Alpex Computer Corporation employees Wallace Kirschner and Lawrence Haskel developed a home video game prototype consisting of a base unit centered on an Intel 8080 microprocessor and interchangeable circuit boards containing ROM chips that could be plugged into the base unit. The duo attempted to interest several television manufacturers in the system, but were unsuccessful. Next, they contacted a buyer at Fairchild, which sent engineer Jerry Lawson to evaluate the system. Lawson was impressed by the system and suggested Fairchild license the technology, which the company did in January 1976.

>Lawson worked with industrial designer Nick Talesfore and mechanical engineer Ron Smith to turn the prototype into a viable project. Changes included replacing the 8080 with Fairchild's own F8 CPU, adapting the prototypes complex keyboard controls into a single control stick, and encasing the ROM circuit boards in a plastic cartridges reminiscent of 8-track tapes.[5] Talesfore was responsible for the design of the hand controllers, console, and video game cartridges; Smith was responsible for the mechanical engineering of the video cartridges and controllers.

2 guys for the prototype, then two more to help him making it viable, but, heh, let's give one person all the credit.

>>6572262
Yes I did google it, thanks, and found this website:
http://www.blackinventionmyths.com/

There you'll find properly scrutinised and researched historical claims to invention.

>>6572298
Then give them all co-credit. Lawson still needs to be recognized as placing all that amassed technology into a commercial product.

>>6571537
I think I remember reading that a black invented the first technique for hand polinating flowers or something like that. IIRC, he used it to work with vanilla.

>>6572298
>2 guys for the prototype, then two more to help him making it viable, but, heh, let's give one person all the credit.
yes, that's how it generally goes.

>>6572298
>Kirschner
>Haskel
Goyim just can't compete

>>6572298
So he didn't invent it at all, he's just an engineer that helped to refine the design. Pretty crucial distinction IMO.

>>6572405
>just an engineer that helped
he was the head of the department. pretty crucial distinction IMO.

>>6571469
Blacks have never done shit and white cucks are doing damage control for them. Niggers didnt even figure out the fucking wheel

>>6572110
You're fucking retarded. A cartridge is just a slab of plastic that has some data on it. An odyssey cart may not contain the program but it contains information the console needs. It doesnt need to have a storage rom to be a cartridge. Fuckin retard

>>6572517
>t. an anon without reading comprehension

>>6572517
>It doesnt need to have a storage rom to be a cartridge
yes it does. that's the definition of a cartridge in this context. just because you don't like black people doesn't change that.

>>6572530
Bro its a game cartridge period. Now fuck off retard. A slab of plastic holding one bit of data a 0 or a 1 i still a cartridge. That tells the machine what program to execute. Just because you add more storage doesnt change the fact it's a slab of plastic that tells the machine what code to execute whether the rest of the code is on the console or the cartridge itself is irrelevant. Good effort boosting your nig though reddit but you won't win this round.

>>6572536
It doesnt need to have a rom you fucking idiot. A jumper that sends a 1 or a 0 bit is still data storage.

>>6572537
>That tells the machine what program to execute
Ya blew it
A game cartridge doesn't just tell the machine what program to run, it CONTAINS the program. Oddysey carts don't contain any programs, you can't add new ones through manufacturing new cartridges. Oddysey isn't even a videogame console the way we know them, it's it's an electronic toy that plays games, same as those plug and play controllers or a Game and Watch or something, no different from a regular calculator.

a wooden wagon wheel serves the same purpose as a pressurized tire but the two technologies are so different that it would make no sense to say that they are the same thing.

>>6571469
Shut the fuck up dude.

>>6572573
That's the same situation the shitty odyssey cart is wagon wheel. He could have very well invented the technique of putting a rom on a PCB tonexecute game code, but he didnt invent putting a slab of plastic with data on it to execute code in a machine. Rom cartridges would have been around for mainframes and stuff before they were ever put into a video game either so really he just made an adaptation of it. I dont actually care that hes black I just like tonpiss off you reddit care bears "oh no muh racismorino" but I am a pedantic fucker so I wont accept him inventing carts. I'm sure he helped the industry but I'm not listening to reddit try and give him more credit than he deserves.

>>6572241
You're full of shit.
First of all the ((bits)) being discussed in the context of video game consoles, is all marketing jargon. Real world technical specs mean nothing. The Genesis would be 32-bit and the SNES would be enhanced 8-bit otherwise

>, it was re-credited to the white guy. They're just trying to build awareness that women, black people etc. have been making things all along too.

For better or worse, human beings don't really have the capacity to see themselves along a vast timeline.

If you know anything beyond your great grandparents you are kind of unique.

To find out that your lineage comes from a subjugated race has got to be unimaginably heart-wrenching especially
if you're born into a society where the future looks bleak and recent history looks savage.

ROM cartridges and video game cartridges already existed, not that he wasn't a brilliant engineer but he just mixed them together
Also who cares, every race doesn't have to be good at everything, my race has accomplished literally nothing and black people are mostly good as musicians

I like this thread because it's triggering all the right-wing snowflakes.

No they weren't they only seemed that way cause they were afraid of repercussions from whites, now acting like a fucking ape is okay and if you say anything you're a "racist".

>>6572742
No, that's why you have these black grandmas who kick the shit out of their grandsons. They see so much more freedom being given than what they had and see it squandered and it pisses them off.

holy shit you're fuckin stupid.

did you actually think slave merchants raided african villages for blacks to enslave? hate to be the barer of bad news, but all of those slaves were rounded up by their fellow africans. raid the nearest tribe, rape the survivors, lead the whole lot to the nearest sea port and take the merchant's money.

500 years later they're still exploiting their own kind, stealing their neighbor's shit & taking the merchant's money. not much has changed.

Black people built the pyramids, were senators in Rome, Shakespeare was a black man as was Beethoven, America as it exists today was also built by black people (they definitely weren’t just unskilled labor that was the functional equivalent of a John Deere).

Why is it so hard for you to admit a black man invented cartridges?

>>6572942
Haha yes what an amazing analogy Usain Bolt is to Nazi scientists. Unironically kys

This is true, about 600 years before America was a thing. Saying a black guy invented peanut butter is similar to saying Columbus discovered the americas, in that they both take away from the indigenous peoples. I fucking can't stand this woke black simping.

>Nazis invented loads of shit

only thing germans ever invented was actually the internal combustion engine. their entire (and centralised command) industrial developement was based on british and french inventions, which for largely financial reasons (different, market driven banking systems), weren't implented in their own countries. should be noted that at the time of the internal combustion engine, the british were trying to make electric cars. failed due to the lack of battery technology at that time.

>>6573084
Other way around, "slave" comes from Slav

The whole thread is peak reddit, you chould atleast post the evidence to make /pol/ seethe even more.

these arent strictly "nazi" inventions but they were made in germany while the nazis were under control

the first electromechanical computer the z1 and first digital computer the z3
the assault rifle
the first jet powered fighter
the first rocket powered aircraft
the fuel cannister we call the Jerrycan named after the germans
and of course the olympic torch relay LMAO

Racist gamers mad that a black man created video game cartridges. Same folks who are upset about hockey being invented by black people.

Not them, but not only are you being retarded and wrong on the other aspects then you add bits to a Genesis that it never had. Although you're right about the marketing jargon and public perception of it.

>>6573136
the 68000 it uses has an internal bus of 32 bits Im not him but I know where he was getting that number from and he was only using it to make a point.

>>6573120

Neither of these are true lol

>>6573138
Huh I did not know that. Let it not be said that I "oh I know"fagged here.

>>6573140
running around on ice whacking a ball with a stick predates canada but the game of ice hockey as we know it today has its origins in quebec

>>6573145
The rules were established long before the game became commercially organised. And it was in Montreal, not Quebec.

>>6573149
montreal is a city in quebec you fucking retard otherwise i would have said quebec city

>>6573153
Whatever. The first game was arranged by McGill University students, which is an English-speaking University. Suck it Frenchie

How did you figure this out? Did Nintendo get sued?

>>6572568
Not the anon you're coping to but you're the one who blew it when you called it a "cartridge". It literally is a cartridge. Autism, semantics, and cope aren't going to change that.
If a primitive computers with no CPU can be programmed with switches then the Odyssey can be programmed with switches. It's simply a difference of the program being very small and the capability of the systems very limited compared to later more sophisticated systems.
The Odyssey is very different from a plug and play, G&W, or calculator in that it doesn't have a CPU. This is a major difference and probably the root of a lot of misunderstanding about the Odyssey. That you think you can argue a point when you're so woefully ignorant of how the system even works is hilarious.

Why? OP's image implies that he invented the thing, but that's clearly not the case. It's a lie.

>>6572632
I don't doubt he's an intelligent guy, but the fact is he didn't invent ("create") the device as the OP's image implies, and his post explicitly states. It's bullshit.

>>6573559
Nick Talesfore and Ron Smith were probably the real minds. they sound pretty white.

no one argues semantics like that when discussing white inventors. you're just racist.

How can you guys obsesses over black daily. When it come to invention nobody Is solely responsible for everything. Example miyamoto and mario. Some people are more important than other. Or some people will just be the face of an invention.

You guys have a premise that blacks are sub human and will look for anything to confirm your idea. Low iq idiot care about people attribute and not there contributions.
