It's pretty great, also the base games sound track is (or was) also available in NSF format when you buy it on Bandcamp. The sound tracks for the later content installments however don't which is disappointing... since everything is mono (and you can easily upmix NSF to stereo).

Just because you can doesn't mean that you should.

Although one of the audio channels isn't consistently operated each time you play an audio track (Noise channel output differs every time you click Play), NotsoFatso does an amazing job of upmixing the audio.

Version 69 (heh) re-introduced the ability to block automated playback of media that starts off muted. That's how the feature originally worked, then they changed it to only block automated playback of muted videos... and now we've come full circle.

Wouldn't surprise me if there are media players that can bypass the mechanism.

But that doesn't mean the composition was ever intended to BE stereo, or that forcing it to stereo is going to work well.
Sure but in the case of the NES the hardware capabilities and performance limitations that composers faced more often than not resulted in their songs having neat stereo effects (stereo chords and sounds travelling from one side to the other seamlessly) and sounding really good in general in Stereo.

Hmmm, not a fan of how quotes appear on the forum. Needlessly difficult to discern who is associated with what message since the names are detached from the messages.

That's what I like about NotsoFatso, it doesn't split all the audio channels 100% left and 100% right. There is some leakage in to the other speaker which is great if you wear headphones.

An example of seamless panning from one speaker to the other occurs when a composer sets one of the Square channels to have a sustain effect, so a sound plays out of Square 1 then Square 2 will play the sustained/fading element of the sound. You can also have the next sound begin while the previous sound is still sustaining/fading out so the audio overlaps a bit.

It's much less computationally expensive to keep one channel configured for Sustain effect than to toggle the Sustain ability on/off frequently.



Thanks for the visual update to quotes, Kawaoneechan.

I guess I shoulda made my comment about the Quote system here, in any case thanks for adjusting the Quote visuals to make it easier to see who said what.

Ummm... the Nintendo doesn't HAVE two triangle waves.

It has two square waves, but they both output on the same pin. Any separation of them is a gross emulation hack and not really Nintendo sound anymore, by any stretch.

My bad, I did mean the Square channels and of course it isn't accurate emulation. I'm personally more lenient when it comes to enhancing a old systems audio capabilities than every other aspect of emulation.

If you view the Page Info for a website you can disable cookie blocking, but there's nowhere in the UI to gain an overview of these exceptions across all websites where you've implemented custom permissions. That far left image in my screenshot doesn't show the exceptions you make via that Page Info method, nor does it let you easily view individual website configurations so it's mostly redundant.

Pretty sure Lunar Magic now supports headerless ROM's. Took a long time for that to happen though, way too long.

Bizhawk is missing all the extremely helpful tooltips for the GlideN64 plugin though (you can see them if you use the plugin in PJ64). It's also missing some options that the plugin exposes when used with Pj64.

I know all that, Bizhawk uses the Mupen64+ emulation core so I don't need to worry about Mupen64+'s lack of a GUI or the various poor GUI Frontends for it (most of them are abandoned iirc).

Death's Gambit is 50% off until the 24th: https://store.steampowered.com/app/356650/

It's effectively Dark Souls as a 2D side scrolling platformer game. Potentially a better imitation than Salt & Sanctuary.

Holding Alt while pressing Print Screen should still perform a traditional Screenshot (if you've set up the PC to use the Snip tool when pressing Print Screen). Just make sure the program is in focus before performing the button sequence.

HLE and stuff was cool back in the day sure but seriously, it shouldn’t be used nowadays unless we have little to no clue what is being done at the low level operations. (And I’m saying this from someone who knows literally nothing about this stuff)

You have that backwards. HLE should be used for things we have a clear understanding of and LLE should be researched/used for things we don't fully understand or don't yet know how to optimize.

The only reason HLE gets a bad wrap is because developers like to use optimizations that break emulation accuracy.
