Last year for Christmas, I get the digital frame Pixoo from Divoom. With this frame, you could also upload an app to your mobile phone. With this app, you could save small pixel art animations to your frame. You can save thousands of animations from people all around the world to your frame.

But because I want something special for my collection, I make my own pixel animations. And... yes. I made Videopac animations. For now, I have 15 different animations. From Munchkin, to the Dragon from Quest for the Rings, Space Monster, Super Bee...

My own Videopac creations I upload to the Divoom app, that every people, who has this frame could upload this for free to his own Frame. It looks wonderful. It`s difficult to make pictures with the animations, but they look like from the real Videopac game. And the frame is really not expensive. Mine was from Amazon, ...... Santa Claus.

Every Videopacfan with this Frame, I wish much fun with my animations. And maybe, there will be much more in the future, also from other people...

Here I bougth the frame:

Thanks for sharing, I didn't know such a thing existed.  For those in the US, I think this is the Amazon US link:

I hope Santa brings me one for Christmas this year... :)

I uploaded a video on my YouTube channel introducing my two Divoom Pixxo photo frames.

There you can also finally watch the Videopac animation created by me with the full animation.  8)

I wish every Videopac fan a lot of fun on my channel.  :)

Thanks by sharing the video 8)

Looks great!  So the lower resolution board is actually bigger.  Does that make it the better board for Odyssey animations?

Enjoyed making the video for our community. This picture frame is something special and interesting.

I only use the lower resolution for my Videopac animations. It is ideal for this. I use the higher resolution for the more elaborate animations, which the other cannot display.

Great video Tom! You should put the Monkeyshines animations in there as well. They're some of the best on the Videopac.
And the  U.S. version of Acrobats, the anim of the guy crashing into the ground and walking away totally squashed.
All your collector items are belong to us!

Power Lords snake should be great, too.

Tom Beck

Thanks Janzl. I also love the monkey animation. It`s a good idea. I also love the snake from Power Lords.
When I hopefully had some time, I will try.

It took a year, but Santa finally brought me a Pixoo. :)  A great device for displaying retro video game art, especially Tom Beck's excellent Videopac/Odyssey art.  The app is not the easiest to use though.  One tip, to find Tom's artwork you have to search for "TomBeck" with no space.

The other thing I learned is that the original 16x16 Pixoo only conneccts via Bluetooth, but they've just released a new WiFi version of it here:

Hi Jim,
nice that you now also have a Pixoo. I am also very happy that you have found my animations and that you like them. I haven't worked with the app for a while now. It's about time again.  :-*

Have fun with it and maybe you will create new animations. I would be very happy.  :)
