Hey sorry for the trouble. Work is easing up a bit so hopefully I have some time this weekend to play around with this again and get it all sorted out.

Forgot I have 2 TB in my Dropbox. I uploaded it there.

In that folder you will find the ISO for the DVD, if you have a way to burn that directly to disc. There is also a subdirectory containing the individual raw files...
Merry Christmas!
I didn't realize TNT was such a rare commodity. I might be able to play Santa this year as I have an ISO of the disc, if someone wants to try burning it and trying it on a player. It's 2.7 GB so not quite sure how to transfer it around, but where there's a will there's a way.
The dev system basically *is* a NUON. It's the reference system we would give to OEMs from which they would base their design. It's also what developers used to write their initial software before any retail hardware was on the market. So unfortunately it's not cloneable.
In the past I've...
I finally got an afternoon to dig out the NUON dev system and get it working. Somewhat surprisingly, it boot right away.
The Samsung monitor pictured seems to be on its way out so I switched to a USB video capture device. It's actually more convenient that way to not have an extra monitor...
Reading a bit more. Looks like spYar* are the Yaroze-specific sprite renderers that I wrote. And of course libsprite.c is the library that actually uses them.
This was back when I was trying to eke out every single cycle of optimization from the inner loops as I could. Super interesting and fun...
Found the post on my blog from back then about this release.

Since it is from the middle of Decaying Orbit's development I'm guessing the later versions of the library contain further optimizations.
I'm attaching here the last...
Okay I found it! Man it takes me back reading through this code again.
Ideally I would get everything compiling again so I could actually have a chance to help while you take this on, but it's probably more helpful to just get you a dump of everything right now.
What you need is "libsprite"...
Okay, I sent a pen to Stephen as a test.
I have a few more. If you are interested in a pen (and haven't already gotten one) hit my DMs with your address. If you are in the United States, postage will be $6. If you are international, we'll need to compute it.
V-SNES & sixersfan105, I'll reserve...
Hey thanks! Technically, it's the first of planned five chapters, but I ran out of space on the Yaroze so stopped at the first set of levels.
I revisited the game for a game jam a work a few years ago. I called it Decaying Orbit Arena. You can play it here, though there seems to be a texture...
Hey guys. I need to dig the system out and make sure it still functions. I feel bad for sitting on it for so long when it would help the community. I will rectify this as soon as possible.
I'd like to announce another recipient of a NUON Community Award. Chris Brockman, or The Helper as you know him, is the host of this website and forums. He also has been hosting NUON-Dome for a while - K3V can probably give better insight into that.
Chris has given NUON fans a home long after...
