for the record - botched the nsf export, but tweaked it for the mp3 render.

please dont submit mp3 renders that are different from the submitted file

Yeah you know - I figured in this case, it plays fine in Famitracker, there's just something causing NSFPlayer to skip over the D00 command - but you're right, I had it backwards, Famitracker is not the definitive player, NSFPlayer would be a lot more faithful to how it sounds on actual hardware.

it looks like it's too late to reupload the mp3, but I'll remember that in the future. 😓

think about it like this:
someone listens to nsf entries over the radio, finds your track and likes it and wants to grab the source. then finds out the source is actually different from what they listened to in the radio. it's better to link the updated version in the comments afterwards. there are a lot of options for filesharing online :3
