Decaying Orbit - From Yaroze To Nuon 14
Thanks to InsertCredit for pointing to the Nuon-Dome page, which has the latest info on the Nuon port of cult 2D "space action" freeware title Decaying Orbit, which was originally created via Net Yaroze for the PSOne. In this title, you must "navigate your way through levels filled with [gravity-changing] planets, nebulae, enemy emplacements, and who knows what else.." in order to get home. Since the DVD players that include the bizarre Nuon console-on-a-chip can read normal CDRs, there's a downloadable/burnable demo of an "optimization forthcoming... first three levels" of Decaying Orbit.

I have to admit, though, I was under the impression the NUON was more powerful than it was. Maybe it's just kinda weak in the 2d area.

I remember when I bought the Tim Burton remake of "Planet of the Apes" (I liked it, bite me) it said it was NUON ENHANCED. To which I thought "What the fuck is NUON?"
I looked into it and learnt two things.
1) Very few players were built with a NUON chip in them.
2) Only about 6 DVD's were released with features that took advantage of them.
It's a real shame as I'd love to know what the content on the DVD is that uses NUON. I'd at least like to see what I paid for, but ah well

There were 3 NUON DVD players released in the US that play official NUON games. Of those, only one will play the homebrew software, and that's the Samsung DVD-N501. The other models were the Samsung DVD-N2000 and the Toshiba SD2300. RCA also released 2 DVD players with the NUON chip inside (The RCA DRC300N and DRC480N). The big difference in the two is that the 480N is progressive scan, but both players have lobotomized NUON features. Luckily b
