Update: I found the answer for some of the problems. I decompressed my VGZ files to VGM, and the real duration is now displayed (as well as the metadata, by the way). The tracks don't seem to stop abruptly anymore, which confirms the memory problem. Rockbox can't access all the VGM content of the VGZ files if it's too big for the player and it can't read any of the metadata nor duration if the format is VGZ. Things are more clear like that.

So, it means that the simulator doesn't have the real thing's memory limitation, as I couldn't reproduce the problem with it.

Rockbox can incorrectly decode some chiptunes. So it's a not a bad idea to convert chiptune to famous format. Some windows specific decoders of chiptunes have a quality improvements like SINC interpolation in SPC, or stereo effect in NSF. Also you can just buy a sd card with huge capacity.

This is a high consume format, so it is a not a good idea to play this format in weak player

That would be quite correct, which is why its a simulator, and not an emulator.

I agree. But we're far from a drag and drop of files, not very convenient, especially when it comes to rare file types. :)

Indeed, an emulator would be *a little* more difficult to develop.
