Wow, this is actually my first visit here and it seems like a ghost town. Seeing a recent influx in interest in Atari Jaguar, I thought this place would be bumpin’. I hope I can help change that.
My name’s Nick Persijn. In the last few months I’ve been modding and selling modified Atari Jaguar controllers for T2K. My main focus has been bringing these types of controllers to as many people as possible by offering them at more realistic “gamer-centric” prices rather than taking the exclusive “collector-centric” angle most modders have been taking for many years up to now. My final goal being, in the end, helping increase Atari Jaguar buzz in the retrogaming community (my controllers have been featured in 2 episodes of the RetroGamingRoundup podcast as well as their website and the ArmchairArcade.com blog, and recently coming soon in the NowYourPlayingWith Podcast) and maybe even get some main-stream gaming press in the process...
You can find me on various retro forums such as:
The JSII Jaguarsector.com forums:
The AtariAge forums
And the RetroGamingRoundup/GameGavel.com forums
An eBay search for Atari Jaguar Rotary is bound to bring up some of my work as well.
To my main point: I am the soon-to-be proud owner of a Nuon Samsung N501. I'm just waiting for it to arrive. After the purchase, being the T2K nut that I am, I of course started researching the possibilities of a Nuon rotary controller for T3K. I was shocked by what I found: nearly nothing. Actually, the most informative thing I could find was a nuon-dome archive page with some info and excerpts from an almost 10 year old chat-interview with Jeff Minter:
http://www.nuon-dome.com/narchive/arc8-2003.html
The info was extremely helpful and gave me hope, but also left many questions that (nearly 10 years later) seem to have no findable internet answers. So, I'm sending out the call. All you Nuon fans, past and present. I want to make these for you. Lets pool our resources and get this elusive project completed! I've seen this controller commented on and even promised, but have yet to find an even unsucessful attempt reported anywhere.
In the end, what I'd like to see is an increased mindshare for Nuon in the retro gaming community. I think a T3K Rotary controller would be an explosive first step.
I don't know about anyone else out there (are you out there?), but I'm excited as hell...
