Name:NESamp (Download)
Version:0.4
Last Updated:5/3/99
OS:Winamp Plugin
Description:Michel Iwaniec is the author of this NSF plugin for Winamp. It's one of a few NSF players, and the only one for Windows. It plays the majority of NSFs quite well. Keep in mind, however, that it's only a beta and won't run everything correctly. You should also know that unless you know 6502 assembly, there is no other way to rip NSFs (ie, don't ask for an NSF ripping program anytime soon). To install, copy the DLL file to your plugins directory. Winamp is available at Winamp.com. To select a particular song within an NSM, move the slidebar (in single size mode) to the right to select different songs. All NSFs that are currently available can be obtained below.

Description: Matt Conte, author of the popular NES emulator, Nofrendo, authors this new NSF player for DOS. It has really cool visualization, the ability to turn channels on and off, and other really nice things. Be sure to read the documentation for all the keys. This is the best DOS NSF player there is. I urge you all to check out this new NSF player, and see how it works for you.

OS:DOS
Description:This NSF player, coded by the same author of NESamp, is for DOS. It's very buggy, however. To exit out, hit q. It's a command-line interface: type playnsf nameofnsf.nsf to load it, and + and - on the numberpad to scroll through the various tunes. You can enable/disable channels via the numbers 1,2,3,4 and 5.
