Here's my first attempt at a demo on the Nuon. This is a port of the 3DO Invades demo.

The demo includes the Nuon.cd and source code, and can be downloaded from http://www.rastersoft.net/Nuon/NuonInvades.rar.

Use the DPad to move the alien, and start to reset the demo. The remote is not supported.

Did anyone else have any issues with loading sprite data with SPRInstallTGAImage? It seems to be very sensitive to image sizes. In most cases, padding the image to a multiple of 8 pixels wide and tall seemed to solve the problem. Although, I had to use a multiple of 16 pixels tall in one case. And, initially, the problems didn't show up until the sprites were removed from the display list, and then re-added.

The next step is to look into getting this onto a signed DVD.
Will a DVD-RW work for testing a signed DVD? Should I use a DVD-R(W) or DVD+R(W)?

Also, as far as I know the authentication software to make a signed DVD hasn't been released or discovered. Unless you happen to have it?

The authentication tools file is on the DragonShadow Industries website. It contains tools to calculate the file system checksums and to sign (using RSA) the checksums. This sounds almost the same as the 3DO, except for the scrambling part; which isn't clear if it was actually used on games.

Just loaded it up - nice graphics and animation! I'd like to see a game in this style. If you decide to do more on the platform, expect good coverage here on the site :thup:

I was worried about a green line on the left side of the image. Nuance shows a green line, and I can't see the edge of the screen on the TV I use for testing.

I'm planning on releasing Frog Feast for the Nuon. The 3DO, Nuon, and NEC PC-FX will be the last systems that get a Frog Feast release. I am aiming for an August 20th release date (5th anniversary of Frog Feast).

After that, I have a game in early development that I plan to get working on the Nuon. The game mechanics work, it just a matter of actually creating a fun game.

Cool! Good news about Frog Feast - be sure to let me know when it's available and I'll share the news.

Updated the front page with news that it is forthcoming. Can't remember the last time I've had this much news to share in less than a week. lol

Awesome - I will have to check this out sometime. I didn't expect to ever see anything new on the Nuon!

Any updates on the development of any of the mentioned NUON projects? In particular Frog Feast?? (I did buy a first batch Atari Jaguar CD version of Frog Feast that was buggy and doesn't work :( so i STILL haven't even played it :mad: ) I'd love to be able to play it on the NUON...

I don't think a working update was ever provided. There has been zero Nuon dev for quite some time. It was very sad when the Nuance emulator Riff passed away - I don't recall any new dev work since then.

No - I never did any large projects. I started out by fixing up some bugs in Chomp and adding a pause mode. Then others did much cooler stuff with it (maze editor, etc.) I only did a few small demos which showed how to get sprites on screen, read & configure the controllers, and do sound. If I had a good debugger I would have finished my Breakout clone.

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
