Nintendo Sound Format (nsf) help

[Global-Trance]

I have a bunch of nsf audio files that are comprised of several songs and I was wondering if there was a way extract individual songs by themselves but preserving it as an nsf.

Any help?

I'm not totally up on it, but the last time I went mucking around with editing NSFs you needed a basic knowledge of 6502 ssembler.

There is a plethora of information and tools here:

Why exactly would you want to split it anyway? If I recall; since an NSF is a stripped down rom image of the original game; splitting them would make them larger (in aggregate) since you'd need a separate copy of the music engine for every instance of a song.

Thanks for the response. I would LIKE individual nsf files for each songs because of a project I'm working on which requires being able to play with the the individual sound channels in individual songs. I'll take a read through that link you posted. If anyone else has any other input, feel free. The more the better.

What program will you be using to play the NSFs once you're finished? And does it support NSFe?

If so, you can use Winamp + the NotSoFatso plugin to convert an NSF file to an NSFe file, and set the playlist to only play that one track:

Open the file in winamp, and open the file info window:

Click the convert to NSFe button:

Open your newly-saved file in winamp, reopen the file info window, and go to the playlist tab. Everything should be pretty self explanatory: select the track you want, add it to the playlist, and save the file.

You can also set track times, fadeout times, and song title tags with NSFes.

This. Rad. I had no idea you could do this in NotSoFatso! THANKS!

Well, I probably should've mentioned that if you're going to be using NotSoFatso to play your NSFs, you can just use the Shadow to Winamp button, which will create a playlist with each NSF track as it's own entry.
