Question about nsf files
So, I’m wondering if nsf files have a standard or usual way they store the music data? I would like to add the music from an nsf file to a larger program and I’m not sure of any other way to export it (I didn’t have access to famitracker when I wrote it) I’m sorry if this is a dumb question, I’m just not sure how to transfer it short of manually entering it into famitracker (though I half way know that’s probably what I’m gonna have to do) ;-;

No, each replayer (Nerdtracker, Famitracker, Deflemask, Pently, and all the engines used by commercial games) uses its own encodingKitty_Space_Program wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 10:17 pm So, I’m wondering if nsf files have a standard or usual way they store the music data?
Rainwarrior wrote a variant of Famitracker that can import NSFs, but its output is the fully-cooked result (what you hear, not what you entered into the engine)I’m just not sure how to transfer it short of manually entering it into famitracker

Any kind of envelope will be represented as effects, not as Famitracker instrument envelopes.
Best way to find out it to try it yourself. It's probably still better than manually transcribing things.

Re: Question about nsf files
So I’ve tried it and for some reason it has turned the sections of 64 lines into sections of 02a0 lines. Is there anyway to compress it down to 256 or something? I’m really not sure what’s up with my nsf file.
Re: Question about nsf files
Wouldn't a regular file converter work? Sometimes it works, but you need to look at the type of converter, what files it converts and whether it distorts the quality after conversion.
Re: Question about nsf files
We're not dealing with WAV/MP3/OGG/WMA files here, but a custom data format used by Famitracker, and I highly doubt that any existing general-purpose software is going to have any idea what to do with it...

I just assumed that you can try to see the functionality of other converters. You never know, will come across something suitable.
