SN7 in stereo, why not

We have 18 nes formats, we can spare another sega 8-bit one

For that matter, why not SMS with OPLL?

yes but no

i like the sn7 and i like the argument given in the post so i give this one the good thumbs up

what software targets this format besides furnace?

pls provide the necessary info with ur request.
file formats, software, playback etc

I guess it would just be a Furnace .vgm format right? So really we could already have Game Gear and SMS OPLL battles, they would just have to be specified in the bitpack. Which is maybe a little less fun than having their own dedicated format. Maybe! I dunno I'm new here :p

playing devil's advocate, if you wanted the SMS+OPLL, or perhaps specifically Game Gear, why not just host .vgm format, or Furnace format? for Game Gear alone it's basically the same as the SMS format. again, i like the idea, but it feels a bit like clutter.

the nsf formats make a bit more sense (i'll give nsfc benefit of the doubt, but that's the one i'd axe if given the opportunity) because the NES did have a lot of expansions which can be used with the nsfplus format, and it makes sense to target the base 2A03 with regular nsf. the SMS only had the one expansion afaik so idk if it would be a super necessary format to specifically tailor to one thing.
