nsf_classic is a format like your '[[nsf (format)[regular ol' NSF], except you can't use that DPCM channel you like so much. Have fun.

'[#[Restrictions on submit]
The nsf_classic format is '[b]for '[[2A03 (soundchip)[2a03] only'[/b] with the additional restriction, that you can't use the DPCM-channel; DPCM is allowed in the '[[nsf (format)[nsf-format], expansions are accepted in the '[[nsfplus (format)[nsfplus-format].
That means, the only channels you may use for this format are Pulse 1, Pulse 2, Triangle and Noise.

Since this wasn't clear enough before. The nsf classic format aims for a "classic" sound design and functionality-usage of the chip. This means no overclocking/higher refresh rates, no other sample playback next to the DPCM-option. No other modulation of the Delta Counter using the Zxx effect. If your entry only uses the standard set of what Famitracker allows you to do on the Pulse, Tri and Noise-Channel, the entry is fairgame.

for vilxdryad: you must only use these 2a03 or 2a07 channels: pulse 1, pulse 2, triangle and noise. you must not update those channels more than once per NMI.
