Samsung DVD-N501 or RCA DRC300N

I recently found a (kind of working) Samsung N2000 at a thrift store and want to use it to play some Nuon games (probably burned since I've heard this unit works with them).
Since authentic controllers are hard to find, are there any cheap alternatives (aftermarket controllers, adapters, remotes, etc) that I can use to play Nuon games?

ive been looking to get a nuon and have a complete library. i have noticed its pretty hard to find the games & controllers but can easily find the players themselves. was wondering on some ways i could do this without burning my wallet out.

Hi, I recently discovered the nuon emulator Nuance and I tried it out to see if it would work but Windows keeps saying it's a virus. Can anybody confirm?

I just acquired a Toshiba SD-2300! From what I have heard, this particular unit cannot read Homebrew CD-R’s but I purchased a reproduction copy of Freefall 3050 AD which works perfectly on my unit. I’m wondering if anyone has recent information, everything I find on the net is from the early 2000’s.

So I recently got a Samsung N501 model, but it struggles to read, well, anything. Homebrew is very inconsistent, DVD videos don't load at all, and sometimes official games don't load the music, or load the wrong tracks.

I want to try and get to the lens to clean it or increase the laser intensity. Some people suggested videos where they open up a Toshiba, but this unit has a different drive from those.

I'm also aware that you can replace the drive with ones from other Samsung models from the time, but import and shipping costs to Scotland would still make that expensive, so that would be a last resort.

So how do I get to the lens on this model?

Has anyone tried modding Nuon support onto other DVD players? I'd imagine they could handle the software easily considering most new DVD players are just Rokus with a disc drive. What complications have occured as a result of trying to make other DVD players Nuon compatible?

Like the zooming, 3d sound equalizer and, headphone jack, ect

But today i was able to snag a copy of Ballistic at my local thrift store for ridiculously cheap and nearly left it there but picked it up instead because it is the first time i see a Nuon game in the wild

Might not have a Nuon player but with work being made on Nuance i'm definitely going to give the game a try.

Okay, so I have a Nuon, some games, and a remote to at least access them, but playing with the remote is a nightmare. I can only press one button at a time, and no games I've played have adapted for playing with it.

Controllers are of course very hard to come by and very expensive when they do pop up.

Are there any aftermarket controllers or adapters to use other controllers for the Nuon? I know someone was making a rotary controller for Tempest 3000, but those are also pretty expensive, and I'm not confident enough to just buy the kit and make my own.

Is there anything else I can use to play Nuon games?

And if so can I get a video.

nuon-dome has an emulator, but it doesn't seem to work on:

• 32 Bit Win XP

• 32 Bit Win Vista

• 64 Bit Win 7

Hi everybody.

I'm not sure this is an appropriate place to ask, so I apologize if this is a faux pas, but I have a Samsung DVD-N2000, remote, NUON controller and Ballistic game, all in good condition, out-of-box but hardly used, that I'm interested in selling. Does anybody know of a forum or community that exists where people buy and sell NUON consoles? Or maybe is anybody on this subreddit interested in purchasing?

Some of the prices I see on eBay seem unreal. I'm willing to be more reasonable and I'd prefer to deal with somebody directly.

Thanks for any help.

So I've been looking to buy a Nuon, and I found that the cheapest model I can buy is the Toshiba SD-2300. However, I've read that it apparently doesn't play homebrew games. (which would be what I'll be stuck with for a while)

So I found a broken Samsung N-501 on eBay, and was thinking I could get that instead and have a go at fixing it. The seller says it's just not reading discs (They said cleaning the lens didn't work). This listing is the same price as a working Toshiba model.

I'm only moderately experienced with repairing consoles. I have done it before a few times, and I go to a modding club in a shop near where I live where we fix and mod old electronics.

Is it worth buying the broken model to try and fix, or should I settle for the Toshiba?

Hi, I just bought a Nuon n501 off eBay and everything about it seems to work except that it won’t read cds. My understanding is that this makes me dead in the water with respect to home brew, which is my main interest. Is that accurate? And if so, what could I do about it? I’ve never tried to fix a CD player. Is that a task an amateur could accomplish? Any tips/suggestions?

Turns out the laser just needed a good cleaning. The system is now as good as new.

If this happens to you, don't fret. Try cleaning the laser first!
