Oh cool, thanks!

I must've screwed up, I'll include Super Spy Hunter in the next batch. :)

General Discussion / quick bit of advice to others tagging NSFE files
« on: May 18, 2010, 03:27:16 PM »
Always include a fade! :)

Let's say a track ends at exactly 10 seconds. Instead of just setting the track length to 0:10.000, also include a brief fade. Perhaps a half a second, a full second... whatever sounds best to you.

Why bother fading out during silence? Because without the fade information, sometimes notsofatso looks to the "Stop after X MS of Silence" setting under the 'Config 3' tab. This may sound okay to people using the default setting notsofatso has, but the problem with the default setting is that it is too short and actually prevents you from hearing parts of songs or entire songs from some nsfs. (A good test is to listen to the plain nsf for Alamana no Kiseki / Arumana no Kiseki, there are no tracks of silence, but the default setting in notsofatso will skip over some tracks)

So for people tagging NSFEs or listening to NSFs regularly, that setting needs to be changed much higher to make sure you're never missing anything. And as such, if you listen to an NSFE track without a fade on the end, sometimes the abrupt ending turns into something like 5+ full seconds of silence.

There are also other players than notsofatso that support NSFE (rockbox, and an upcoming nsf flash player), as well as an NSFE -> M3U converter, and it's not totally certain how all of those will also handle an abrupt ending without a fade. So, to err on the side of caution, setting a fade should help guarantee that the timing comes out the same for everyone.

It's not a big enough issue to go back and fix already uploaded NSFEs I don't think, but it'd be a good practice to pick up for newer ones.

General Discussion / Re: Gamefaqs + eternal stupidity

I steer clear of gamefaqs for any sort of casual discussion on video games. The only time I post is if I have question regarding something very specific or want to address misinformation that may be posted.

They still have info in the code sections of how to get to a secret diamond room in Bubble Bobble (NES), for example, in spite of me challenging it and the consensus that it's not actually there.

If I'm tagging an NSFE and I find in-game credits that aren't up on gamefaqs, I also submit them.
http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/recognition/83877.html
I'm not really sure what rules they follow for accepting credits. I already know they don't like the classic style nicknames (bun bun) from game credits, but even at that they've only accepted about half of my credit submissions.

Rescue: The Embassy Mission

    Ripper: (?)
Note: Alberto Gonzales composed the soundtrack for some versions on other platforms, but I think this version was done by somebody at Kemco.
Ah yeah, I conducted that interview with Alberto and can confirm that he did not do the NES game.

None intentionally, thanks for moving it! :) I didn't notice it, being the "child boards" subforum.
edit: And I did a search for NSFE and didn't find anything. Now I just did again and it worked, so I must be crazy.  :eek:
