It would be really, really helpful having a link on https://www.nuon-dome.com/download.html to this post. I spent a bit of time trying to find it again, and I knew what I was looking for! lol

Starting to look at Nuon dev stuff again, I would like to get printf working, to get a log of output. Searching on Discord: cubanismo: I'm not aware of a printf-debug mechanism in Nuance. cubanismo: Right now you can use DebugWS() I believe to write stuff onto the screen. Here is what I've...

Hey man, thanks for the reply, I hope you're well. That's fair and understandable that your wrapper doesn't do tilemaps or 3D, Sprites with scaling and rotation, input and SFX is enough to port a few more NY games to Nuon, and it might create more interest and games to Nuon. I just got stuck...

great interviews! thanks for posting.. and please share more if you come across it :)

kinda, but without the game features, which probably isn't what we would call a game engine today :D I dont think there are many game engines for older, pre PS2 consoles, as we know them today. The abstract layer handles primitives like render_rect, render_text, play_soundfx...

They're too completely different systems and communities... and I dont know when the full wrapper will be released. Alternatively, you can build a very simple 3D/2D/audio/input abstraction layer, and then it can be ported anywhere... and I would recommend this regardless, it's easier to dev on...

Yes, it's only one way, weekly batch to the Newsgroup/usenet, it isn't that popular, and it's mostly spam posts (and a lot of warez hosting :/ ) these days unfortunately, like IRC, it's still a great "social" platform. LOL, That sounds like Sony's marketing... the copy protection stuff, but it...

A 2D game, yes... I looked over it last year, unfortunately it's not complete as it is (and, i'm not smart enough to figure out the missing parts). Here is what I wrote back then. https://www.thehelper.net/threads/where-to-buy-nuon-games-demos-discs.162145/#post-1395569 I don't recall seeing...

Ah, that's the same one has https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/06/before-the-ps2-nuon-famously-tried-and-failed-to-combine-dvd-and-game-consoles I guess that's where they got it from :D

Thanks for that @V-SNES :) I thought the SDK being officially made public and VMLabs IP being sold twice, that for game dev's it was ancient history... I thought it might have been something like BIOS calls or private low level API calls. I guess their solution involves direct hardware access...

old saying is, if it's free, we are the product.

Apparently Discord is capturing data to train AI, it's opt in by default so it has to be turned off manually. FYI:

Re: "And we managed to isolate the MPEG code out of the bloated video presentation layer, something VM Labs considered being impossible." That's a shame, it seems like a trivial thing for a DVD player :/ @V-SNES If you're still in contact with them, maybe ask them, in the spirit of Nuon...

Great interview! I read it twice :) It's great of them to do interviews and share the pitch :) Multicore programming is hard in modern languages, to do it in assembly is hardcore! so much respect to them! But, that's what makes Nuon such a freak, the beautiful software rendering... in a DVD...

Very exciting :) By any chance will your adapter help with software development in the near future? I mean, if I get a FTDI (serial to USB) and connect it to your adapter, would it be possible to send files to RAM, remote execute and getting TTY output? I'm not a pro, but cubanismo mention...
