Testers wanted for NSF player

[Adam]

It appears that the changes I made that improved performance on my iPod slowed performance on the H120.  I now have conditional code in place to build it a somewhat different way for coldfire targets.

Oh MAN, I don't know how I missed this but I'm incredibly excited to try this out! I never though NSF support would ever be available for any portable music player...hell, I play in a video game music cover band, this stuff is close to my heart!

I'd love to try a build for the Archos FM Recorder if it's not too much to ask! I used to have everything set up to compile some custom builds but that's on my machine at work and I'm currently stuck at home on disability.

Thanks so much for this contribution!

[Adam]

I'm sorry to say that at the moment it is difficult to use custom decoders on the Archos FM Recorder with rockbox, and even then the machine could not possibly run NSFs in real time.
Awesome to hear you're in a vgm cover band, grab an ipod or something and enjoy the full potential of rockbox!

[Sherv]

Ahh, alas it's what I feared Maybe an X5 60 gig is in my future...

I still want to express my thanks for providing Rockbox with this awesome feature, you rock dude.

New version up with modified behavior when in "repeat one" mode.  Handy for those who want to listen to one tune for a while.

I'd like to test it!  I have an iPod nano.
Thanks!

[Adam]

There is now a nano build here.

Oh, baby.

thi´s TASTYYYYY
i really like it man!
now i would like to see each .nsf as a playlist, that´s possible?

[Adam]

That is not particularly possible, Rockbox is file-centric and thus can really only look at one NSF as one song.  Potentially you could copy the NSF and modify each copy to only play one track, then you could make a playlist of those, but I don't know exactly how that is to be done.
There is a format called NSFe which allows you to store a playlist within the file (so you can specify what order to play the tracks in or exclude tracks altogether, and includes lengths and fade times for each track), the player will read this format but the playlist functionality is not yet supported (though length and fade is supported).  In that case the NSFe will still appear as one song with a length in seconds equal to the number of tracks, though.

this detail shall not fade your glory , brave !
i realy think this is the best thing togheter with c64 sid emu on rockbox..

[Sherv]

Now all that's missing is an SPC player Can't get enough of FFIV tuneage....

So, in all honesty, I'm considering upgrading my mp3 player soas to take advantage of this patch. A little off topic, but I'm trying to find the best way to switch from my 80gig AJB FMR to something of a comparable capacity...I can go to 60gigs but no less. Should I get the X5?

jesus, Ninja Gaiden Trilogy soundtrack from zophar still playing really amazing at my IPOD 5g 60g (i love it...)

I've got an NSF (NES music) player running nicely on my iPod, and I could use more testers (espcially on big endian targets).
If anyone is interested check out the patch here: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6122
If you can't/won't build the patch but want to test anyway I can build it for you, just let me know what system you have.

I have an iRiver H140 and would like to test it out...
