Howdy.

Found a NUON a few weeks ago, a Samsung N-501 with Original remote for a decent price, think I haggled it down to around 60 if you exclude the DVDs I got in the end price.

I was able to get all the released games thanks to the interwebs, and also have been able to make the nuon homebrew bootloader and have it run everything....except doom. which I would love to play on this system.

Every time I boot it up it says "Loading..." then it hangs on "Running". I have tried making it its own disc with extra padding and it still does the same thing.

Is the included WAD file not the right one? Does anyone have a working iso image of doom they could possibly upload?

Cheers and looking forward to chatting with you all!

So the trick to getting Doom to work is to pack the disc full of all kinds of stuff the Nuon will not recognize. So put in hundreds of megs of movie files for example. That way it will cause the Nuon CD to spin up and when it does wake up it will see the Doom files and load them.

Thanks for the info!!...hmmm...I originally tried that but I guess I will try again with more stuff. Had 400 megs worth on the CD but I guess that is not enough.

Still a no go on loading doom. Have tried many different write speeds, padding files, and 2 types of CDR and still no dice. I guess my player plays everything but it. Oh well. I heard its not the greatest port anyways so not too big of deal.

So just to be sure, you have a Nuon 501 right? Homebrews won't work on the Toshiba 2300 (which is my fav Nuon) or the Samsung N2000.

Ok time to redouble efforts on this for when you swing back to this project. See if I can post more details tonight.
