Tempest 3000 on Nuance v0.51 with dynamic recompilation.

I can only second both requests

And i haven't abandonded hope yet to fix the T3K hangs. Its small steps, but at some point.. .. ..

How big is the code? Is it amenable to a full disassemble with comments? I presume the visible caching on the MPEs makes that a bit of a headache... but I could add it to my queue, maybe look at getting a start on it over Christmas.

[toxie]

That would be nice. Any help is appreciated, cause i'm really no Nuon expert.

Nice , following the nuon discord at the moment , lots going on.

Tried Nuance on the deck and it boots but doesn't recognise the game iso I'm trying to launch.
Says invalid Coff or Nuonrom-disk file.

[toxie]

You have to extract the files from isos.

And which discord is this exactly? Are there also developers on there?

[MegaZoid.]

It's the nuon-dome discord , few technical people on there not sure if there are any developers.

Don't know if anyone is currently doing Nuon dev. Your emulator updates have caused me to revisit some old code though.

Would it be possible to get the VLM working with this emulator?

[toxie]

It should most likely work in principle, BUT i have no clue (for now) how all the interaction with the handwritten asm/bios stuff by the original author of Nuance works, and so also no clue at all how one would/should get original BIOS/FW dumps to work.
So somebody would have to work on replacing all the 'simulated' BIOS code with a real loaded FW dump. No clue which hurdles await us there.

If you turn off audio in the config file, the game doesn't crash but you have to play with no sound.

Resurrecting this old thread with good news:
Turns out the T3K hangs were caused from not-completely-implemented/100%-compatible file streaming..
'Unfortunately', this went by completely unnoticed as all games just somehow still worked 'correctly'. After reading a lot of the Nuon spec pdf, i stumbled over that part, and thought to give it a try and implement it more truthfully:
Now, T3K can be played and (most likely, as still in the progress by me ) finished start-to-end, out-of-the-box, no fiddling needed: https://github.com/andkrau/NuanceResurr ... /tag/0.6.7
Also added: .iso/.zip support, and more, see release notes

Great progress. Might it be possible to play this at a locked 60fps in future? The level of slowdown on later stages is really quite painful on actual hardware.
