If you used Deflemask's method of SEI and driving playback by polling the frame counter, you could make one that runs on PowerPak, NSFPlay, and several other players.

But you'd still need to RTS occasionally to make the player's playback controls work.

I tried to play Battletoads' NSF on foobar2000, and it played down the drums.

Yet again, I got a privately ripped NSF from Japan.
This is fully ripped with sound effects. I only edited the header information.

That one put my google skills to the test. It's from a game called Love Quest.

LXXX
LOVE

XXXXT
QUEST

All letters except the first and last were replaced with Xs. Heh. It's a Super Famicom game that had a famicom prototype. Here's a video of it on nicovideo (If you click play, it will create a popup. Clicking play in the popup should allow you to view it without a nico nico account.)

Track 36 is played right at the start of the video. Track 48 is heard about a minute in. At around the 2 minute mark in that video, you'll hear Track 42 from your NSF.

Thank you! :)
I wonder if the game was ever dumped (I guess not.)... seems like a cool little RPG game or somesort.

Well, hard to say. It could be a rip or it could be a compilation. Has some strange text in it:

Haven't run it through a debugger yet to see if it writes to PPU registers.

But it's likely that someone's sitting on a dump (who also knows people who rip or can rip NSFs themselves) and were cheeky about the filename; or someone is sitting on the sound code and were cheeky about the filename.

That text suggests a possible sound select mode and maybe this chunk of code was ripped from that bank.

Edit:

There are no accesses to the PPU in this code. It's not impossible that this is a rip, but improbable.

Is this something that Gil Galad compiled from some sound engine code he asked for?

I have no idea. I just randomly found this in his NSF collection, what I'm trying to fix.

I don't think so. Me and Gil used to ask developers for source code, but I don't recall getting any from Japanese developers. I remember once Fumito Tamayama was going to give me his music source, and never did. I think some of these developers want to say no, but are afraid to hurt your feelings, so they make up excuses or don't reply at all. Seems Japanese developers are more reluctant to give their source code.

It might be interesting to know that Love Quest uses the same sound driver as Janken Disk Shiro for the Famicom Disk System.

Again, I need a bit of help. I found this in Akumu's NSF Archive and I searched high and low and I simply can not find where this music comes from. :( I also don't know where #30 comes from which interestingly has somesort of DPCM samples as well. I know that there is a pirate cart named Capcom 30 In 1 but I couldn't find these musics in it.

That port is surprisingly good for a bootleg o.o

Regarding the Capcom 30 in 1, most, if not all, of the sounds/sounds are from Legendary Wings. Not surprising since Legendary Wings was a US exclusive title, and I don't think it was released elsewhere.

And shit, I remember LXXX XXXXT NSF. Good to know where it came from.

Thankfully now I figured out what was #10, but #30 is still a mystey. It even has some really jacked up PCM samples or something which is only listenable in NSFLive 0.95, in such a way that:
-You first open Capcom #10 with it, then right after #30, and it plays the samples.
I don't know why is this happening, but there is another one which works like this.
My only guess, is that this is either some chinese made music, which was hidden in that Capcom 30 In 1 ROM (which is basically functions as an NSF player for various Capcom games).
