As the official first post, I am curious as to what a Nuon-Dome is. Is it a sports arena? A funny hat? Or perhaps a weird alien technology?

Hey guys, just getting things going here. Thanks to The Helper for getting us set up with a place to chill while things get straightened out

I am unfamiliar with this specific DVD technology - have any info to share with those who will likely be wondering what this is as well?

Welcome Mr NUON-Dome!



So... what is NUON-Dome anyway?

More info at the site, specifically here: http://www.nuon-dome.com/info.html

Basically NUON is a chip that was built into a few DVD players that gave them game functionality. A few games that were released for the platform include Tempest 3000, Iron Soldier 3 and Merlin Racing.

NUON-Dome is the fansite I've been running for the platform for about 5 years now.

Gotta run, be back later

Are those the ones you know of, or the only ones that exist?

Those are the only ones that were ever made with full NUON functionality. Some RCA machines (DRC300N and DRC480N) have the NUON chip inside but only use it for its DVD playback features. There are no controller ports and commercial games won't run on them. They do have a limited VLM inside, and homebrew games will work, however - but you'll have to control them with the I.R. Remote (not fun!).

It's good to have a place for the NUON-Dome forums. I was wondering what was going on over there.

I'm a happy owner of three NUONs, although one doesn't play CDs I've been following NUON since '97, it was known as Project X at the time. It really had a lot of potential, which I doubt we'll ever see it's full potential realized. But it did change things, in it's own little way. Being the first DVD game system (yes before the PS2 and it's rumored that PS2 had a little influence from NUON and they were scared of the technologies potential).
