hello and good day! furnace tracker can export VGM: may fellow furnace trackerist or otherwise be allowedto submit vgm in nsf formats?

i wonder how vgm works, if, in the scope of hardware render though

both 2a03 and vrc7 (from ym2413 since version 1.51) are supported by vgm format - i think all other chips are in their development to-do list (it's somewhere in their wiki or forum, i can't remember where i saw that)

vgm is a format worth analyzing, it's among the simplest format specifications around

i can play an nsf on my nes

i can't play a vgm on my nes

guess requesting feature of nsf export for furnace tracker may be better then

@ViLXDRYAD at discord they seems very open to feature requests

@puke7 i never tried it - is it from a kind of nsf to nes rom "converter"? and what if a similar tool for "converting" (embedding) vgm to nes rom could exist? i'm asking this as it is so easy to add sn76489 vgm binary files into sms and colecovision rom files (i tried on code made on boriel's zxbasic compiler) - i'm even about to imagine that, as you can code a game to nes, and also know how vgm file is structured, you can also play a vgm file on nes as well! ;) (but btw, don't worry about this too much, all the tools we use here, without exceptions, are very known as very "work in progress"! ;) )

according to tildearrow, hardware playback routines are planned for all of the systems that furnace offer, with NSF and SID being some of the top priorities, so we just have to wait

wait, or help with code! ;) (as furnace is software libre, just like goattracker, famitracker (and their derivatives), etc. - the most probable i'm seeing is parts of the code of these projects being implemented into furnace sorces)

You can't play .nsf with expansions on your nes unless you've got a really weird cart.

Or just any flashcart and some kind of pin mod. It's always been a dream of mine to make a device that sits on the bottom expansion Port of an NES that enables expansion audio. This has been done but it was part of a different device that cost way more money than what I'm thinking of.

lol i just realised that you can potentially get an NSF export in furnace if you save the module as .dmf and then open it up in deflemask legacy and export it there. it's probably quite limited but it kinda works

@argarak we just need to pray deflemask exporting anything! xD

yeah it certainly doesn't do a great job at exporting some things heh....
