Summary
NSF is the sound file format for the Ricoh 2A03 chip used in the Nintendo NES/Famicom game console. The NSF filetype also supports additional sound expansion chips.
The 2A03 has five sound channels: two pulse waves, one triangle, one noise, and one DPCM channel.
Rules
At BotB, expansions are only allowed in the "
nsfplus" format. The nsf format is for 2A03
only. A common beginner's mistake is to submit a FTM (FamiTracker Module) to a NSF compo instead of an NSF file (don't do this).
Tools
FamiTracker (by far the most popular tool for this format)
