NSFE making is still alive, join the discussion here - http://theshizz.org/forum/index.php/top … ollection/ and pay attention to the first post.

bucky, i did this short tuto... because we had this problem at #botb
hope this help in anyway!....

How to convert a multi-track NSF/NSFE into audio files... without waste the rest of your life doing it!...

Oh, turns out Game Music Box for OSX supports NSFE. That's great.

There are m3u playlist files, but I'm not sure what they work with. Foobar most likely?
I've had no luck with winamp + in_gbs for reading the m3u files, and I'm pretty sure audio overload doesn't read them as well.

great article :DDDD it solve the problems with the multitrack files and their tag!!!.... thx for share it with us :X

Nsfes works fine with foobar! I'll stop downloading nsfs in behalf of nsfes, thanks bucky!

edit: btw, there is something similar to .gbs?

oh yeah...oops!

Yes, p1xl's flash player could be a good multi-platform solution to playing back nsfe's

I just tried out Audio Overload v2.0 for Windows 32, and it does play NSFE files. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to support the track times + fades, nor the track reordering. Tracks still loop indefinitely like normal NSFs, or stay on silence for tracks that end. However, it does display track titles. Testing out The Jungle Book NSFE:

You can see that what was supposed to become Track 1 is still Track 11 like in the original NSF. It also cuts off track titles it deems 'too long'. "BGM I (Title Screen, Levels 1 & 6)" displays as "BGM I (Title Screen, Levels 1" instead. I understand that there has to be a limit on track title lengths, but AO's is much shorter than notsofatso's, which I see as an issue since notsofatso is the tool for creating them...

Please be sure to let me know if you have different results.

Yeah I have Audio Overload 1.8. NSFE is definitely not supported by that haha.

Thanks Bucky! Now I can listen to NES music 2010 style!

THE FUTURE!!!!!!!!

Scratch that! It's odd, I seem to recall looking over the formats for audio overload and not seeing NSFE in there, but now I looked again and it's there! He responded saying he's on vacation and doesn't have the code on-hand to be %100 certain, but that NSFE should be supported.

Arlen, double check that you have the most recent version of AO perhaps?

I'm not sure if audio overload supports NSFE (***EDIT, read below). It would really be great if it did, however, since Mac users don't really have many (any) NSFE options that I'm aware of other than game music box. I'll send Mr. Bannister a message.

Oh yeah, and KSS files can be annoying when you have to dig through them. Sometimes they come with accompanying M3U (playlist) files, I've gotten those to work in winamp. Oddly enough gameboy and NES M3U files have never worked for me.

I think there was some sort of schism between people wanting NSFE and M3U for NSF files, but I think it'd be much nicer to simply widen support for the NSFE format instead of including a playlist file that likely won't work with lots of programs anyways.

I tried playing one of your NSFEs in Audio Overload like... I dunno... a few days ago? It didn't work and I was confused.

I really like the idea of better tagging though. I'd really REALLY like to see something like this for KSS. I hate having to pick through sound effects to find the music.

Done!

Thanks guys!

I agree! Later tonight I can send you a zip of all the NSFE files. I don't have this posted publicly, only because I haven't spoken with Lenophis about if it's okay to grab everything from his site like that. I may hit him up and see if we can figure something out.

I think I would like to have 3 different main folders for NSFEs-
-Game
-Demo / Rom Hacks
-Artist (for modern chip compositions)

I would also like to see a site that has all of these embedded in flash! I'll be talking to some friends who know a bit more about making websites than myself and see what we can do...
