Resurrecting Nuance

[Old School Dragon]

I found your SourceForge page several days ago, and was *very* excited to see that you picked this back up and had made sure good progress! I'm getting started with developing for Nuon, and this could prove to be *very* helpful for me, so that I don't have to burn a CD for testing each and every build.

Do you have a link for me with the demo so that i could try myself?

Wow - this is probably my worst response time for a reply I never remember to check the forums here.

Make sure you don't leave toxie waiting.

Toxie is awesome for picking this project back up. Please keep up on this as it is the key to NUON development. Without a proper emulator you would have to burn a disc to real hardware to test anything. Getting a NUON emulator is of primary importance. Has anyone contacted the NUON chip creators on this stuff? I hope I am not the one that has to do that but I will....

Odd - why did my attachment not work? I am trying to post a 1.8MB ZIP file, but it will not work for me.

Attachments sizes were quite limited on the server configuration. I've adjusted this so it should work now.

What is the new size limit? Just curious.

64 MB

Thanks! Hopefully toxie will see this.

 

[toxie]

I actually missed it so far.
But will give it a try, thanks!

Also, new (minor) update of Nuance, 0.6.1: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nuance-nuon-emulator/files/latest/download

Still working on getting multi-threading to work properly (although all games are working fast enough by now on my modern-but-rather-cheap-laptop), and also to finally fix this darn sound/timing issue which is causing T3K to hang. :/

 

[Stephen]

LOL - I just came over here to paste the link to the AA Jag forum, but you've beaten me to it.

I don't know if the emu doesn't run full speed yet or if my laptop is just too shitty (very likely) but I went ahead and tested some retail games and homebrew

Hopefully somebody will dump the Tetris game and the Korean-only Shinchan Crayon game, it is a bit interesting as it requires a korean samsung nuon bios to start, so the emu would come in use in that case cause those are not exactly easy to find, but first we need a dump of the actual bios to do anything.

Keep up the good work Toxie.

 

[toxie]

Did you use the 0.6.1 release for testing this?

Yeah

Then i fear your laptop is not up to it (yet?!).. :/

If you look at https://www.thehelper.net/threads/resurrecting-nuance.166935/#post-1389851 , then this is also captured on a laptop.. And its a mid range one, nothing high end..

 

[The Helper]

I am so glad that this is project is still going. I hope some people at the Emulation Reddit get into to it as well - even the Konix Multisystem, one of the rarest of the rare has an emulator. The NUON needs a good Emulator. This is a testament to the late Mike Perry - the original NUANCE author - RIP.

Did you ever get a chance to look at that demo I sent you and see what speed it runs at? The machine I tested on is still my fastest PC.

I tried playing around with the audio related crash with Tempest 3000. Reducing the number of audio interrupts (at a cost of having glacial distorted audio) to maybe a third of what they are now did eliminate the crash. If I limit the rate of audio interrupts to not be more often than the expected audio playback rate would allow, I still experience the crash in exactly the same way. So, I don't think this has anything to do with buffering.

You are freaking Awesome!

Wow, every little bit helps.
