The nsfplus format is an expansion of the nsf format. The (emulated) use of additional mapped soundchips is allowed.

Tools

---

- FamiTracker
- 0CC-FamiTracker
- PPMCK
- IT2NSF
- SuperNSF

Restrictions on submit

Implementing multiple mappers on a cart would be a difficult (or perhaps impossible) task. Only one mapper was used at a time on a cart as there was no need to be so insane. It is expected/recommended that the bitpack for an OHB specifies which expansion chip to use for an NSF+ compo, unless there is some other strong theme to keep the entries coherent.

Accepted file format

---

.nsf

Playback (for voting)

---

Apart from the tools you can use for creation, also:
- NSFplay and VirtuaNSF (version 1.0.6.1 is recommended)

For playback on actual hardware, both the PowerPak

and the EverDrive N8 PRO

(but not the original EverDrive N8!) have built-in NSF players. Note that if you are using any extra sound chips, they need to be supported by your flash cart, and if you are using a NES (as opposed to a Japanese Famicom), you will need to mod your console

to get the expansion audio out of your NES since this functionality was removed on the NES hardware.

Render to MP3

---

Since NSFplay and VirtuaNSF are both capable of emulating expansion chips, rendering an NSF file with expansion chips is the same process as rendering one without. See here for details.
