I have all three and actually would rank them in this order. Of course this is subjective and I’m sure others will rank the Tac-2 first. The Tac-2 is the largest of the three and has a bit more weight than the others. I honestly don’t think you can go wrong with any of these. IMO Suncom made pretty good joysticks.
Have to agree these are all very good controllers ive got a slikstik and a tac2 both are lightyears ahead the original 2600 controller

I 2nd that. Most of my old consoles fail from capacitors. Sega master system gamegear 360s and fat ps3s

Glad this was brought up. Most likely it doesn't matter. I kinda have a feeling they added the other battery because it could last longer. But I could be wrong. I have the 1x9

Thanks for the update. Really exciting news

Thanks definitely still want 2

Is this controller PCB still available or all gone at this stage?
I've a 501 on the way with no controller and need a way to play T3k!
Sadly the only way is to use the remote. And check Ebay for the controllers daily im not kidding. I had the same problem. Picked up a Toshiba unit and couldn't find any controllers. 2 weeks later someone had one come up on Ebay on auction. And it was going to be about 200 when it finished. So I waited and to my luck 2 came up for sale new in original packaging. 1 sold quick it was the 1 that looked like the n64 controller and the other I bought was the logitech. I paid 100 plus shipping. Just keep looking. And they come up.

Worth it is always a tough question to answer. It's a fairly small scale cabinet with a fairly crappy TV as a monitor that doesn't quite display all of the games the way they're supposed to be (the scaling is off). The controls are also mediocre. I'd really have a hard time recommending it as anything beyond a novelty, so it'd be tough to pay more than $100 for it. Maybe you can negotiate? (I'm basing my thoughts on my experience with it when it first came out all those years back. Some of the things I didn't like about it are probably a bit hazy at this point.)
I know this is a old thread. But no thats not true about the monitor. They are really good. The only way you know this is that you have to plug in something into the a/v underneath and select it. The rom they used in the cartridge is the problem. I know this because when I used my imported sega Saturn with sega rally its rather beautiful and clean for what it is. It would be alot better if it was converted to rgb but far a/v its very good. Im going to pull my monitor out and use it for other vintage game consoles and use a larger monitor in the cabinet.

Worse case scenario you can get the remote and use it. Not great by any means but will allow you to mess around with it. They are cheap on Ebay
-
Are this still available to order? If so I would like 2. Any updatw would be nice. I'm in no rush mine still works great but you never know. And the pictures you have posted look great
-
My thought is that the psx only setup to display in a/v vs the nuon have component out would definitely make a difference

I have one of the Samsung DVD players the N501 I think it is. Some of the game s on it were on other systems as well, but the real deal for owning it would be for Tempest 3000 basically. Merlin's Racing is actually on the PS1 as "Rascal Racers" and then Iron Soldier 3 is also on the PS1 as well, Ballistic is on PS1 too. Otherwise there isn't really much going on for the NUON aside from Tempest 3000. I have burned all the games for the Nuon and honestly the Tempest 3000 is not all that good IMO. Tempest 2000 for the Jaguar and the Saturn are way better, plus the issue I have is that there was no memory card for NUON so it does not save your high scores, which is the main thing about Tempest is being able to beat your score!
On the controller side, when I got mine I bought an HPI Warrior controller (the boomerang one) and the guy charged $80 for that. It seems to work nice but does not have the analog stick. The issue with that is he gave me a legit Freefall 3050AD game and that one is basically uncontrollable without the analog controller.
Very nice. Ive read that the n501 is great for homebrew games but not 100% on what titles there is available. I would love to try out the freefall. For me its just part of having a bit of gaming history. Also wasn't the nuon more powerful than a ps1? Wonder if thr games look any different on the 2 systems ps1 vs nuon?

You can get reproductions on Etsy. Waaaaay cheaper options that trying to get an original on ebay these days.
I'd pick up a Nuon if/when i see one in a thrift store someday (it's bound to happen!) but my understanding is the big problem is that controllers basically don't exist for these things.
Surely someone can come up with a viable solution; or adapt another controller to work with a Nuon? Is there any special technology in the machines that makes this cost-prohibitive or extra challenging to do?
EDIT: Just saw above their is a special chip.....great...lol
I found the dvd units are not to badly priced. Its just those pesky controllers that are gold lol. But thats why I kept looking everyday on ebay. 1 was on auction but went for a 230 bucks. I lucked out 2 controllers popped up and were $100 each buy it now. And were both brand new. So it pays to keep looking. And your right on the reproduction games I bought tempest and iron soldier $20 each. And I'm cool with them not being originals. Infact I'm glad someone does this. Ive had 3do game go bad and a steel battalion disk off Ebay work but only on 1 of the 3 original xbox's I have. You can actually see the starting of disk rot. Unfortunately cds do fail and have repros allows me to play with spending 400 to 800 on one old game.

The Logitech controller for the nuon isn't a very good controller. Also the analog stick is broken the way it is. So if someone can make a controller work with the nuon, better pick a good one.:)
So I just got a logitech action pad new old stock still in all the packaging. Tried tempest 3000 with the action pad. Have to say the analog stick works as smooth as butter. Ive seen videos where some get stuck maybe thise were defective. Of course as with anything only time will tell. I will say this the stick on the pc version seems smooth as well. It to doesn't get stuck. I guess all else fails if my nuon controllers analog stick bits it there is the pc version I can use as parts. One thing is that this game definitely needs a rotating pad not a d pad or stick. But in total I'm into all of it for about $190.
$50 for the Toshiba dvd player
$20 for tempest
$115 logitech action pad
$20 for a broken Toshiba dvd player
Which I managed to get working. Is got a bad gear thats on the motor that moves the laser. Still sorting it out.

One controller currently on Ebay is up to 230dollars. Im glad I bit the bullet and bought the logitech action pad at $100. If I see another one pop up I'll say something on this post

Just snagged a logitech action pad new never opened off Ebay. Lucked out ot was only a 100 bucks. The TPI steath was there too but sold quick. Cool thing is I now have the pc version of tue logitech action pad and the nuon. So I'll open them both up and take pictures to show the differences. Just for reference purposes. Either way I can use the pc controller for parts if I ever need to. Also thought of using a ir remote for the Toshiba and retrofitting it into a controller as a wireless unit for games that worked with the remote control. But I haven't tried seeing how the remote really works.

Do you know if anyone has built an adapter that can convert the nuon to usb?

I know this is ages ago but do you know if there is anyone selling one of these?

Late to this discussion. Anyone looked into getting a logitech action pad to work on a nuon? I know the plug is going to make it difficult.
-
Is it possible to get the logitech action pad to work with the nuon? They look nearly identical. Sorry for posting repeat comments

Are these still available?

I did speak with the guy that did the YouTube video that made these. If I remember correctly he cant make them without the chip that nuon used in the controllers. And it seemd like he didnt have any or need to create more. So its more about the person that did the chips that the guy that males the controller.
