Well done for the Nuon. It's one of my favorite machine in my collection.

I'm
coming from the Sinclair QL and Atari Jaguar Edge. Richard Miller and
John Mathieson were involved in both projects/products in the decade
1984 to 1994.
Great to see some other folks help making those inventions unforgettable.
Beside of dozens of QL's, Jaguar's, peripherals, books and software I own a very rare Swiss Samsung DVD-N504!
Happy Retro-Computing - where time is endless!

Hi folks.
Being a console-guy for some years now, I stumbled across a machine
called "NUON". Living over here in Germany it meant to own one, one
could only get the N505. The N504 wasn't even available from Samsung.ch or any dealer from
Switzerland. That's me speaking, who drives the rarest Honda on
Germanys roads and driving hundreds of Kilometres to get it. I normally
somehow ALWAYS get what I want but with the N504 it's absolutely
impossible...
So now some two years later I have a fairly big NUON-collection for European standards:
Samsung N505
Toshiba SD2300
HPI "N64" Controller
Tempest 3000
Planet of the Apes (NUON-enhanced)
Buckaroo Banzai (NUON-enhanced)
NUON, the most underestimated console of all time !

I
have an old Toshiba 2300 DVD player with NUON enhancement, and it is a
very fine machine. It is sad what happened to NUON development. That
was a very good chipset and some very nice programming.

i had my N504 yesterday and have been boasting the features to my
family. I need games and controller. I wish some demos are around the
net but where ? We are a bunch of Atari freaks on

Hello!
Although I'm not a Nuon "Alumnus", I am (was???) a Nuon user. I
loved it. I wish it was still here. My wife was addicted to one of the
games, but all of our controllers broke (found your site tonight while
searching for a source for Nuon game controllers). I was amzed at the
"Merlin Racing" game. In that game, they have a creature called the
Piasa Bird. I thought I was was one of the only people in the world to
know about the Piasa Bird (For those who don't know already, the Piasa
Bird was a legendary creature depicted in a petroglyph on a cliff
overlooking the Misissippi River near Alton, Illinois). I have hanging
on my wall a stone, hand carved reproduction based upon an illustration
made in the 1600's by a French explorer (Joliet?), created recently by
Illinois Petroglyph-Art artist Ron Barwick.
I remember when I bought my Samsung Nuon DVD player (A DVD player
which also played games)...it was a choice between that and Sony
Playstation (which was a game player which also played DVD's). I wish
Nuon had succeeded.
I read this site's sections on the people and history behind Nuon
..inspiring. I'm involved in something similar myself right now. My
brother, Mike Wallace, has invented a new type of game
controller/CAD/Navigation device called the geOrb (see
www.globalhaptics.com) which I'm trying to help make a market for. It
has a plug-in to Rhino 3D Nurbs modelling software, which makes Rhino
faster and easier to use. Please check it out!
So, why did Nuon fail? The only technical problems I encountered
with it were the controllers, which seemed to get worn out quickly. I
enjoyed everything else about it. Was it a marketing issue?
Oh, and by the way....where can I get replacement controllers? I'm
dying to get back into my "Freefall" game (I know, the DVD'd remote
controller is supposed to double as a game controller too...but it's
just too clumsy and awkward to use).

Klasse Seite Andreas! Es macht spaß sie anzugucken, aber auch ein
wenig traurig. So viele bekannte Namen haben an diesem wohl visionären
Projekt gearbeitet und nun ist alles futsch. Schade, wirklich schade,
zumal keine Hard- und Software nach Europa (D-land) gekommen ist.
Abgesehen von dem VLM in dem Samsung N505.
Ich grüße Freunde des Nuon!

Great
site. Good luck to all former VM LABS/Genesis employees. Thanks for
keeping the memory of NUON alive. I still like & use NUON. Even
though NUON is dead, I still use my Samsung DVDN501 because it
has better features than other DVD players that I have seen.

Thanks to Andreas for making these photos and info available.
Last year, during my evening commutes, I would hear radio
advertisments for "Samsung DVD players with NUON technology. Technology
from UFOs!". This ad was appropriate for the evening time slot as
it preceded the Art Bell program. Go figure!

As
a fan of T2K on the Jag.It was only natural for me to be
intrested in the nuon project.But Being a resident of a country that
doesn't support the nuon I'm hoping that i can own one one day...

I've
followed VMlabs since it's introduction in 1999. I was always intrigued
with the concept of multi purpose appliances, and the idea of
combination DVD player/ gaming platform was and still is a daring
undertaking.
I do believe the industry has recognized the mild sucess of a
player first, gaming second device and may try to build on the concept.
I am still a strong believer in the potential of the Nuon idea.

As
an Atari fan i've been keeping an eye on the Nuon developements since
the earliest days. It was great seeing the system progress (too) slowly
into a great component for DVD players. Making it a rather good games
machine as well. It was and still is nice to discuss on the forums
about what's happening. It's a real shame that this great piece
of hardware got butchered before it got the chance to grow to it's full
potential. Despite of that and that it is hard to get a Nuon enabled
DVD player, i still hope to get my hands on a N504 and see the delights
where all the people on the boards have and still are talking about.
I wish all the people from VMLabs all the best and maybe someday
the team can get back together again for another great design. Till
"then" I'm sure the Nuon won't be forgotten and i'll be there to follow
the latest developements.
You all take care,
Ayreon

I first heard about NUON in 1999 and because Jeff Minter was
involved, I was excited from the beginning. I finally got my
N-501 in Summer 2001 and it turned out to be so much more than just a
VLM/T3k/DVD player for me. I've really enjoyed the tech and I'm
very pleased that the SDK was released before the thing died.

I
started following you guys from when the first news about ProjectX
surfaced in the now defunt Next Generation magazine. Not soon
after some super blurry pics of IS3 surfaced and news that Yak was
making T3K I was hooked. It was quite fun while it lasted, you
guys always responded to emails and gave me the hookup on a cool
T-Shirt and a few other items. I really had hoped that NUON would
succeed and in many ways it did. I hope I continue to see cool
behind the scenes pics and stories on this site. If anyone feels
compelled to send ole BeefMan an official NUON dev system, please do
so. :)

While
I have only been following NUON since May 2001, the exciting potential
of the technology (on paper at least) is what made me a loyal
supporter. Here was a combo DVD movie/game playing platform which
had amazing versatility (VLM, ability to play homebrew games) AND it
enhanced all CURRENT movies with features like zoom and screen fit that
no other DVD player had at the time.
Many thanks to those who worked and believed in the technology.
While NUON may be dead, I still fire up my N501 regularly to
watch all my DVD movies and to play the occassional game.

Hi Guys! Fantastic page that makes me even more sad about the demise of VMLabs and its technology.
Still hoping that something good will eventually come out of this.
Maybe someday the rights to the NUON technology will be sold to a
company who really cares about it.
It's nice to see the people behind the technology and learn some more about the history of NUON and VMLabs.
Keep it up!

were starting to come together for the technology.
I love seeing all the behind-the-scenes photos and look forward to some first-hand accounts on the site :D
