Music

Music is available for the NES. It is most often stored in NSF files, which package the data for one or more songs along with 6502 machine code to play it back. NSF files can be played on a NES or on a PC with an appropriate player which emulates the NES sound hardware and CPU.

The music from a large number of NES games has been "ripped" into NSF format, and people are actively creating new NES music with sequencing tools. The two main music sequencers are MCK/MML and Nerd Tracker II.
