I recently got my hands on a few pieces of NUON history so I thought I’d share some photos. First is a NUON polo shirt, with the logo on the front; second is a VM Labs/Project X shirt; third is black NUON polo with the old nuon.tv URL on the sleeve; and finally we have a VM Labs/Project X Jacket.
These are great collectors items and are in new condition from what I can tell. All I know is VM Labs must have had some big guys working there, because even the medium shirts are pretty big!
Skah_T from DragonShadow industries is giving away some NUON goodies for just the price of shipping and PayPal fees.
First up are some nice Cross pens that feature the NUON logo. For US residents, cost is $3. For those overseas, it is $5. Send PayPal payment to sc@dragonshadow.com. If you want to pay by other means then please contact Skah_T directly at the same e-mail address.
Also available are two boxes of HPI Stealth controllers of unknown working condition. He is looking to unload an entire box at a time (approximately 10-15 controllers) for just the cost of shipping. Again, contact sc@dragonshadow.com if you are interested in a box of NUON controllers that will need some work to function properly.
[And yes, this is the first news post in nearly a year. Apologies for the slacking, but life was pretty crazy for a while. Things have settled down so I will try to get updates in occasionally from now on as things develop. Thanks for visiting!]
One of the holy grails of the NUON scene has been uncovered. Skah_T has come across the essential tool to allow homebrew NUON developers full access to create software for every NUON player, not just those capable of playing CD-Rs. The authentication software basically breaks down any barriers there were to creating full DVD-compatible NUON software.
Download the file and check out the disc at the DragonShadow Industries site. There is documentation included in the .zip file so download, play around and get some NUON DVD software going!
NUON-Dome forum member cdoty has turned up a final version of Riff’s NUON emulator, Nuance. This version was presumably completed and ready for release prior to Riff’s death in August, but he never got to share it with the rest of the world.
We’re happy now to be able to share this with everyone, the last available revision of his work. Here’s what the Readme file says is new:
6/08/2007, version 0.5.1:
Fixed compiler bug that caused nearly all programs to crash when constant propagation and
dead code elimination was enabled.
The file has been archived here on our servers and is available on the Downloads page or directly by clicking here.
Just a quick heads-up in case you haven’t visited the forums in a while — we’ve recently given them a face-lift to match the rest of the site. Gone is the old thehelper.net look which, while functional, really didn’t mesh with N-D.
So, thanks to the help of Ghan_04 and The Helper, the forums are looking much better. Stop in, check it out and say hi!
