I am about ready to just pay for this - how much do you guys think it would cost to get someone to get the Authentication tools working?

I am almost 100 percent sure I can recreate whatever development environment that was used on the current stuff on the Dragonshadow site via a virtual machine. But seriously, Dragonshadow likes NUON it is just way in his past, but some money might make it more attractive to do something. How much would we need though?

NUANCE has stuff going on, there is stuff going on with the controller shortage, but there is nothing going on with the Authentication Tools and this is something we have to work out.

I got a guy from Atari Age that did the Yak Twister rotary controller thing possibly interested in getting paid to get the NUON Authentication Tools working. I asked for a quote and I await response currently....

Worst case I get an idea of how much it could cost best case it is something reasonable and he does not mind getting paid in NUON and/or Jag Stuff :) LOL that is a joke if it was a huge amount of money I would definitely consider a crowd source.

Well the Yak Twister guy never got back with me on a quote and another source told me that the original guy who put out the NUON Authentication tools could never get it working either so my idea of getting him to help are dashed. I have not given up yet. Time is on my side I will prevail :)

OK this thread says someone was able to use the Authentication tools to sign their homebrew so apparently it does work maybe just not how it is supposed to but it worked once. That means it can work again

New Nuon homebrew - KillMinds

Hello, Seems like nobody is interrested to make NUON homebrew games so i have decided to make one. KillMinds is actually a straight port of my 3DO homebrew game of the same name. Without the Nuon Invades example , this would not exist. (Thanks cdoty ! Too bad you're no longer in the homebrew...

Where in the thread does it say that? If I'm not mistaken, an attempt was made but it was unsuccessful. "the passphrase provided with the leaked documents is wrong and i'm unable to properly sign my games" - gameblabla. Am I missing something?

Hope you're not referring to this goof:

Looks like he's trying to get money for people to "watch his show" now that the Nuon stuff doesn't exist and our money can be flushed down the toilet.

They aren't on the market for a reason, they don't exist.
I don't sell things, I fix things and make art, and I don't have any art for sale right now besides the show.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but without the required keys, this is not going to happen. It uses a 2048 byte ElGamal encryption algorithm.

Quick synopsis:
Both DLP and CDH problem are believed to be difficult, and they have been proved such (and therefore secure) for more than 30 years.
The cryptographic strength is linked to the magnitude of p. In 2017, a sufficient size for p is deemed to be 2048 bits. For more information, see the most recent ECRYPT report.
The signature is four times larger than the equivalent DSA, and the ciphertext is two times larger than the equivalent RSA.

This so reminds me of the Battlesphere thing. Have to get that code word. I will get that code word without having to go to brute force because the 4Play people were up to the brute force - i am more finesse.

Ha... you got the joke. Yeh they tried to brute force it but I believe in the end a source from Atari (Hasbro) slid the key under the table.

No they did not. You need to catch up my friend. I sent my Logitech to Carl at Songbird to try and reverse engineer to make an adaptor or something. It is all in the Controller thread which I see you found :)

yea I knew that, but was just asking about the others. Knew songbird had been trying to work toward something
. It would honestly be nice if there was a module box made we could plug other controllers into. It would at least make people able to play. n64 or dreamcast some kinda inexpensive easy to find controllers

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
