When the public SDK was made available, I helped with some debugging and added a pause feature to the Chomp game. I did a few super simple demos to just get some moving objects on the screen and learn the sound library, and finally started working on a Breakout clone. I got as far as multi-ball and stereo sound, with a controller config screen. I was not able to implement fixed point math for the velocity though, so it never played well. There was no emulator at the time, and debugging support was dismal. The development cycle was burn a CDR and test, and pray for no crashes. The other thing that really sucked was simply moving a few lines of code would cut the framerate in half. The complete lack of debugging ability finally just made me give up, but the emulator is now at a point where my game runs full speed. I've thought about re-visiting it and maybe trying to finish it. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe then we can get Return of Heracles working for the Nuon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see you get into the homebrew scene maybe get in on the next homebrew compilation at NUON-Dome I'm now on there. Thanks for starting that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andymanone Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I do not want to hijack this thread, just wanted to say that since last Saturday I am the proud owner of a nice N501, incl. Controller and 12 physical games (4 original, 8 homebrews) in top condition 😍! I'm primarily into ATARI 8-bit, ST/TT/Falcon and JAG64, but Nuon - I have to confess to my shame - somehow never became seriously known to me, so my joy is all the greater, because now I could spontaneously make a really good deal😎. I am just about to read deeper into the matter and have already read a lot on the site "nuon-dome.com" and "Helper". This is a very exciting topic for me and a new chapter in my (Atari)history and I am happy, to be part of it now 😊! Cheers, andY 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you picked this up from another NUON collector. Fun fact, that remote is actually from the European N504/505 but does, indeed work with the N501. I have a feeling that jog wheel about the bottom works better for gameplay than the N501's stick, assuming I'm correct that it operates as a D-pad of sorts for games. Reminds me of the Intellivision disc controller! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the Intellivision disc controller! Thanks 👍! Yes, it was a seller / collector from Germany. However, he was a bit suspicious to me, but a friend of mine lives near the seller and therefore offered me, to test all things on the spot and to buy and pay only if there are no problems. And it all worked out best in the end😊! Cheers, andY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Songbird Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Yes, that is cool to see. Also, our N64 controller adapter is in the final test stages, and is confirmed to work on the N501 and SD2300. We expect to open pre-orders in January! Lots of options for Nuon fans starting in 2023. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy - 2023 and I will be spending money on new Nuon items, probably the first time since 1999 or maybe 2000. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
