    Doesn’t sound very futureproof to me. I imagine it’d be like if the PS2 sneaked in a more powerful CPU in later models, and games started to use them, forcing gamers to “upgrade” to the newer model. Would kind of go against the whole point of a console, wouldn’t it? Especially in this case where many would buy it for the DVD player and not the console, and would have no reason to even upgrade? Feels like VM Labs would have shot themselves in the foot here. (Though in this analogy, they wouldn’t have had any bullets to shoot themselves in the foot with.)

    I’ve heard about early computers and consoles having slightly higher specs in Europe to account for the slower speed or PAL vs NTSC. Maybe that’s the case here? How much of an upgrade was the processor? I’ve heard later revisions of PlayStation models sport slightly faster processors themselves?

    Huh, is that it? Are the specs the same?

    I remember reading that as well. Why is that? Is the N501 somehow not as powerful?

    I got mine as well, they work great! It feels so good to finally play Nuon games properly! Also, I seem to recall people mentioning you can buy repros of Tempest 3000? I can't seem to find it anywhere, am I misremembering?

    Okay, playing the machine more, I think it's just a problem with the disc drive being on it's way out. Even official titles struggled to read properly. I just got the thing.

    Ouch, well, Nuance looks like a good way to debug, especially with a new developer behind it. I had a look at the CD-Rs I have and it turns out I have some Verbatim CD-RWs. Tried them out, and they don't boot up at all, I don't even get the warning screen. I get the feeling I might be using the padding files thing wrong. I archived every Nuon homebrew game in a zip (as "a.zip") and included that. I tried to make another copy with that zip bloated to 500MB using another program, but that didn't help.

    These ones? I've been using Verbatm's "Music CDs", and they usually work great on other machines, but it seems to be giving the Nuon trouble.

    Okay, I got my N501, and tried to burn a copy of Doom to play on it, following the instructions on Nuon Dome the best I could, and I can't get it to run consistently. It mostly hangs on the "running doom..." screen, and sometimes goes black after "loading doom...". I've only got it booting properly maybe 3 or 4 times. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

    Yeah, that's where I got the SDK, but I can only get so much out of the SDK's docs.

    Update, I got it compiling, I forgot to set the "%PATH%" variable. I got it compiled and running on Nuance! I'm able to edit the text to make it display something different, too! Anyone know of any good programming tutorials so I can do more with this?

    Hey, I recently got myself a Toshiba model Nuon, being a huge fan of 5th and 6th generation hardware (as those were the eras I grew up in), and I really like how quirky the whole thing is, and the mystery around everything they planned but never got around to implementing. Tempest 3000 is also an amazing game! I've decided to get myself a Nuon N501 as well, to play and make homebrew for, and downloaded the SDK from Nuon Dome and decided to try it out on a Windows XP VM, and followed the docs to compile the hello-world demo, and it gave me a lot of compile errors out of the box. Anyone know what I might have done wrong?

    Alright, thanks a lot!
