Talk:NSF

A NSF tune is perfectly playable in an emulator; in short words, a "normal" NES emulator, not something clipped for exclusive NSF playing and behaviour.

Regarding 4015h, well... it's empirical. My experience says that setting 4015h to 0Fh is required in order to get *a lot of* tunes starting playing. I don't remember of *any* broken tune by setting such value. So, it's recommended *to follow* such thing. --Zepper 14:25, 29 March 2012 (PDT)

Adding NSF support involves a mapper, an executable format, and a piece of shell code to draw the title, artist, and publisher, run the player in a loop, and switch tracks. But you're right that an emulator incapable of playing NSF is incapable of emulating something that runs on an NES, as the PowerPak has an NSF player. --Tepples 20:29, 29 March 2012 (PDT)

Yup, I assigned mapper 256, since iNES cannot assign it. And yes, it's required a player (I wrote my own in asm) and commands to switch tracks, but that's all. Perhaps I wasn't crystal clear... :( --Zepper 14:31, 30 March 2012 (PDT)
