Hello I am an Atari Jaguar and Jeff Minter fan and have long wanted to play Tempest 3000 and use the VLM2 so I recently found a N501 unit on ebay and bought that but the seller or USPS screwed something up and lost it on me(bummer ) so the seller had a N2000 unit also he put up on ebay and I won that and received it in the mail recently- so I ended up with a N2000 unit - has original game controller. I have downloaded the manual online, and have been reading about it's operation, however I ran into a big problem that I need suggestions with. It will not play any audio cds. This N2000 didn't come with a remote control but I found a N501 remote which I bought and am using.
I was able to play select various released DVD movies in the player, not everything I threw at it but a good amount - it doesn't seem to play burned dvds, released or burned VCDs.
And I was finally able to play Tempest 3000 also, it's great!
The problem is with the VLM2, This unit will not play released audio cds much less burned audio cds. I have not seen the VLM2 yet as none of the discs from my large purchased Audio CD collection, many from the Nuon's time, just don't play it just keeps saying: "No Disc", "No Disc", "No Disc", again and again.... wth - it plays real DVD movies and games but not retail audio cds. Did I miss a step or something ?, do I need to set something in the menus? I tried two disc cleaners on the unit, they have little brushed that take the dust off the laser eye but that didn't work. I've tried 20-30 Audio Cds all Retail and a 1 burned but none will show anything -No spatializer or VLM2 lightshow, the N2000 just keeps saying "No Disc."
What can I do to fix this? - Try to find a replacement DVD drive to put in the N2000? Do you think that would work? What is reason Audio CDs won't play? How else can I access the VLM2? Is this a common problem with the N2000? Can I do a firmware update? Replace bios chip? lol.
Also, I wasn't able to find Iron Soldier 3 for the NUON online but I did find one place that has a IS3 download I could burn to a DVD, but have to pay to access. - But will this unit even play burned anything? Nuon-Dome says it doesn't but the seller said he made a copy of his real nuon IS3 disc just to see if it worked and he said yes his burned IS3 does play in THIS N2000 unit. Do you think he's bullshiting? If not, I would really like to try burning some of the homebrews on Nuon-Dome.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions as to why I can't play Audio Cds in this N2000 unit.
Anyways, I'm glad to have a very nice DVD player and Tempest 3000 to play at least, I was really looking forward to the VLM2 tho........damn!
