also this might help Saskrotch:
you can build a simple conversion box. it would take the the audio out from your ds and sum it all into one channel and go to a stereo out so that it will be mono and play in both ears.

                                   |========= L=====|                                                  |===========|== L== | Audio out  L]
   ---[ audio in jack}====|                               |============= mono=======|                                   |                      [ }------ output -----
                                   |========= R=====|                                                  |===========|== R==| Audio out  R ]

     head phone plug                                                                                                                                     Headphones out put
 

super simple to make and house in a small container. i am not sure you even need to grnd the thing. the device wouldn't be limited to just your DS. it should work across the board. I was thinking about building one for my nes. right now i have the stereo mod going on and if i built this i can listen to the summed up version of each track. that way it isnt annoying as shit to listen to my nsf's with headphones.

probably could even add a simple volume pot to the mono wire. that way you can adjust the volume easy.

good luck nigel!

We can assume he wants to stick to the NSF format for a personal reason, so it makes sense to give advice with that in mind. Otherwise, I'm sure he knows he has plenty more options if he's okay with using wavs or mp3s. Who knows, perhaps beyond his own music he wants a larger NSF library that's easily accessible. Sampling everything would suck!

moonshell is just a player..
why dont you record your nfs using a laptop or NES, and than just play live your mp3s from the DS?

cuz thats cheating. chiptune is all about doing things the hard way..... the ridiculously hard way...

@Saskroatch, did you tried DS Organize?. I think it dont do PAN of the sound. I tested with the same NSF in moonshell and DS Organize and the moonshell do the pan aswell but the DS Organize dont do it.

hope that help! XD

FWIW, the protein folder HAS to be in the root dir to work. I'm guessing you probably tried that, but I figure I'd throw that out there just in case.

Dingoo's are cheap and I think they would do the trick

i'd like to use it as a compact way to play .nsf files live.

Couldn't you just pan both channels center using your mixer if you're doing it live?

no idea, in my version they show up as like

whatever.nsf:0
whatever.nsf:1
whatever.nsf:2
etc

The new moonshell dont let to go forward or backward in a multi-track nsf, or i just dont know how. But seens like there is not option in any of the moonshell version

I mainly use the old moonshell version to playback nsf and sap files. The new moonshell dont let to go forward or backward in a multi-track nsf, or i just dont know how. But seens like there is not option in any of the moonshell version

@herr_prof, i suppose he dont want to convert each file to wav/mp3. And if you dont own a cart with SDHC support, then you will run out of space really fast! XD...
