Relicgamer Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sixersfan105 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 @coleshores and @eltoozero, what ever became of this project? Sounds like there has been a lot of interest of late but no follow-up from you two? I'm not pointing fingers at all, just curious what's up. Cheers. Edit: I see neither of those two individuals have logged in to AtariAge since fall and summer of 2019, respectively. Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fandenivoldsk Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I think we should all just show our interest in getting one if there’s a second run. Maybe the seller will notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I'm referring to the guy that makes the boards with the chip on them. Believe his name is Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And till they got more he couldn't make any more controllers. Im not sure what the process is to getting more made. But maybe if we can get enough people onboard we could get the other guy to make the chips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sixersfan105 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Good news to report: Nick P (controller maker and I believe original designer of the boards who passed off the board project to Lee) informed me that he emailed with Lee yesterday and Lee plans on "digging back in [to this project] soon!" Further, the Rev2 Yak Twister board will be capable of all three control modes simultaneously (digital d-pad, analog stick and rotary)!! The limited run of Rev1 last year was apparently limited to one mode with a jumper to determine the mode. Very exciting stuff!! I'll keep my ear to the ground and will report back any further developments. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sixersfan105 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 A little update to pass along: Nick P. got an email from Lee O. three days ago, which stated that Lee anticipates the Rev2 Yak Twister boards will be coming "in a few months." I know that's a bit of a non-update compared to the last update of similar substance, but it's something. I recommend joining the "NUON DVD users" Facebook group for a direct line to Nick P. It's a very small group but all are welcome! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep my ear to the ground and will report back any further developments. Definitely very exciting. Can wait to get creative with some interesting nuon controller mods. Just to clear something up though. I didn’t design anything. I tried my best, but hit a wall. The most I did was stockpile documentation and hardware. The rest was all Lee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fandenivoldsk Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Is everything included with the Yak Twister board or is it needed to get an original Nuon controller to scrape for parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
