Congrats on getting a NUON skip :thup:
I see you are also in the land of Down Under, where abouts are you located mate?
Also curious to know where you got your stuff from? (my NUON's i got from US eBay, games from Amazon and some collectibles off an ex-Atari/NUON employee).
Btw, what NUON did you get? I'm assuming since you are downloading the demos its a US N501?
Sunny Melbourne! ;DRadelaide And you? I think I remember you from the Atari Age forums. I still browse there quite frequently, but I don't think I've ever posted. I'm mainly interested in the Jaguar stuff (I have a rather large collection of Jag stuff) and I think (if it was you) you do too...does my failing memory serve me well?
Hehe, funny thing is, soon after i posted my question i found your posts on YakYak regarding the sale and lol'ed to myself. Small (internet) world! lol Though i only knew as you have the same username across both Forums.From the yakyak forum (Minter/Llamasoft related stuff). Someone just happened to be selling one. I've missed out on countless ones over the years. I probably paid a bit much, but I've been after one since before they came out.
Likewise. I have a loose Samsung N501 and boxed Toshiba SD-2300, but would like to get one of each of the other models for a little project i'm working on. In particular interest i'm after the Korean N591 but then again, aren't most NUON collectors?! (or is it just the crazy ones?? lol) Recently i've also started looking for the RCA models as well as the Motorola Streamaster 5000. What sucks the most is, the price of shipping to Oz usually outweighs the price of the actual units!I'd one day like one of the European models with the Aries 3 processor and controller ports. Right after I end up collecting that load of rocking horse poop...
The RCA's i consider 'NUON-y' type systems as they do have the ability to play NUON homebrew games + watch the NUON enhanced movies, but i do not consider them NUON games' systems - only DVD players. As for the Streamaster i would only get that if i find one locally (as these were released in Australia) at a cheap price, simply for a collections piece and to play a small part in a project i'm working on.I don't actually consider the RCA units or the StreamMaster to be NUON systems since they don't have the ability to play the games, otherwise I would want them.
Kudos on the boxed pieces, i know they'd be much harder to come by. As for the most versatile, wouldn't that be the N504? Has everything the N501 has (plus ability to play homebrew) but with the Aries 3 chip as well (or was the Aries 3 on the Samsung N505 only?). That is unless we are talking about DVD movies, which would then depend on which side of the pond you live in.Luckily I have a boxed Toshiba, Extiva, 501, and 594(Euro), and hopefully a 591(Korean) soon. The 501 is clearly the most versatile of all the units.
