nsf_classic is a format like your
regular ol' NSF, except you can't use that DPCM channel you like so much. Have fun.
Tools
Check out
nsf (format) for a complete list.
Restrictions on submit
The nsf_classic format is
for 2a03 only with the additional restriction, that you can't use the DPCM-channel; DPCM is allowed in the
nsf-format, expansions are accepted in the
nsfplus-format.
That means, the only channels you may use for this format are Pulse 1, Pulse 2, Triangle and Noise.
The nsf classic format aims for a "classic" sound design and functionality-usage of the chip. This means
no overclocking/higher refresh rates,
no DPCM samples, and
no use of the Zxx effect (delta counter for DPCM). For Example: If you're using Famitracker, simply do not use the DPCM channel or change the refresh rate. Pulse 1, Pulse 2, Triangle and Noise only.
Additional specs for those making their own tools: 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.

There is a list with compatibility info

For playback on actual hardware, both the
PowerPak and the
EverDrive N8 PRO (but not the original EverDrive N8!) have built-in NSF players. There is also
EZNSF to convert NSF file(s) into a .nes ROM.
