I am brand new here but I have been reading for a while. I still play my nuon quite often. Mostly t3k and sometimes merlin racing. I would love to get a hold of iron soldier and space invaders xl but when they do appear on ebay the money gets out of control. I bought my samsung 501 brand new several years ago and my wife bought me 4 games off amazon after that, but I love the system. I am looking for some stealth controllers tho. All I have is the warrior controllers

Hi everyone,

Since there isn't a heck of a lot of activity here, I thought I'd ask this question. How many active NUON users are out there anymore? It seems like it is pretty dead. :(

That makes me wonder, is the lack of new games because of the lack of activity, or is the lack of activity because of the lack of new games? Or is the lack of activity because everyone is busy playing T3K? :D

Hi,

I always visit this page, reading the posts.

I live in Chile. I still have my 501 since 2001 and the only problem was a burn fuse. I don't use it very often but I use the RC. I own a few Samsung DVD players and the RC of those are ugly. so I kept the RC of my Nuon close to me.

Until today I didn't see any DVD player with a beautiful GUI that this one have.

If you want to start coding, I have quite a few samples I can give you.

Why don't you post them Stephen?

Ask and you shall receive. Give me a few to gather everything up. I'll try to have something posted this evening.

***EDIT***
Files are on another machine. I'll try to get them posted tomorrow. It's nothing earthshattering.

I've had an N501 for several years now, and only own an IS3 demo disks.

I've considered doing Frog Feast for the Nuon, if only for the challenge.

Holy crap, man. You just brought back a large happy memory. I used to play Frog Bog way back when. I literally haven't thought about the game in like twenty years. :)

I never even knew about Frog Feast. Bring on the port!

Hehe, you must've played it on the Intellivision. I think the Atari 2600 (and C64) versions were called Frogs and Flies.

That is a couple of hours. Cool to see some fans in the area.

I miss the thrift stores and flea markets in houston. I used to find so many games there that I didn't know what to do with them. I never find anything around here. There was even a game store in the pasadena mall that used to sell atari and intellivision, coleco games and such and sold them all to me before they closed down. I think I paid around 300.00 and got about 25 game systems and several hundred games.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    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
