[NSF] Captain Saver (Power Blade 2 JP) playback?
This NSF plays the DMC channel only on Nintendulator. No sound output on RockNES or Nestopia.
Anything special for such NSF? $4017 watch dog?

Re: [NSF] Captain Saver (Power Blade 2 JP) playback?
The only "special" things I see about this NSF are that it claims to use both VRC6 and VRC7 expansion sound simultaneously (which it clearly doesn't), the first 59 "songs" are just sound effects and instrument samples, and it doesn't appear to have been properly optimized (though my optimization tool seems to choke on it for some reason).

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.

I just tried it in some old versions of RockNES (5.03) and Nestopia (1.40) and it plays just fine...

Sorry, I had uploaded the wrong NSF.
The japanese version has the bytes $78,$79,$7A,$7B as zeroes. Check it out.
This tune (now go back to the first message!) isn't playing the DMC channel.

Re: [NSF] Captain Saver (Power Blade 2 JP) playback?
That NSF has been over-optimized, and none of the DMC samples are present - they normally live at $C000-$FFFF, but the only thing in that address range is your INIT code ("ADC #$3B ; JMP #8000").Zepper wrote:Sorry, I had uploaded the wrong NSF.

OKay. I run it and it's confirmed the DMC not playing even in Nestopia.

I seriously don't know how can people still bump into these crappy old NSF rips. : p
Things like this was one of the reasons to make my own normal archive.
Here is a reripped version with a lookup table.

Re: [NSF] Captain Saver (Power Blade 2 JP) playback?
It's from a huge collection I downloaded from somewhere, and I'm using those files to test my player. Unfortunately, I don't know the quality of the files, so your point is kinda... harsh and stupid. I don't keep tracking the latest NSFs.MrNorbert1994 wrote:I seriously don't know how can people still bump into these crappy old NSF rips. : p
Thanks, but I already own a working copy from the collection - this one was broken, indeed.Here is a reripped version with a lookup table.
