SPC (SNES music) Playability, how is it?
« on: September 14, 2010, 01:06:27 AM »
Hello everyone.

I am thinking seriously 'bout buying a Sansa Fuze. My main interest about it, is to Rockbox it, and be able to play my SPC (Snes music format) collection. So thats why i ask this.

How does the SPC files play?
Do the SPC playback drains battery fast?

Any experience with SPC playability would be great for me to hear. Thanks in advance.

Works fine.  Probably drains the battery a somewhat faster then MP3, I think SPC emulation is fairly slow.

How does the SPC files play?

Quietly.

Compared to most, if not all, the remixes @ OCremix.org, the SPC files are much softer. Much softer than NSF files (which are also, not as loud as the MP3s on OCremix).

You'll have to adjust the volume in case an SPC gets shuffled into your playlist.

But aside of the volume, do they play fine? I mean, at normal speed and with no lag or anything? Thanks in advance.  :D (I am buying this device just for SPC playing, so i need to know if they play nice :D)

Did you read this thread?  For the third time, they play fine.

Yes, and thank you, i was just worried because there was this clicking sound on the Sansa Fuze EMULATOR i ran on the pc, so that’s why i was concerned, but know i see its just the emulator that fails :D. Thanks again.

Simulator, not emulator.  There is a big difference.
