:Many people who make NSF covers already put both in the existing artist field, or use the Copyright field with it, often prefixing the cover artist with "cv:". Since in NSFe there is no length limit on the strings in the "auth" chunk there's plenty of room for multiple names in there already. People have suggested a lot of extra fields to add, but I personally just think this makes UI implementation for it annoying, which is why I just added a "text" field instead where any arbitrary information could be added and displayed at the author likes. Currently only NSFPlay will show it, and only in the infobox window, though I plan to make a breakout window for it so you don't have to scroll through that tiny box to see it. As for the Jaleco-JF-13 sound board, that's been kinda low priority to me for pretty obvious reasons (i.e. only used in one game, not for music, only for baseball gameplay sounds, etc.). - [[User:Rainwarrior|Rainwarrior]] ([[User talk:Rainwarrior|talk]]) 08:05, 27 January 2013 (MST) | |||
