JSR and i had a few convos about ways to optimize the NSF filesize - just to see who else is interested... here's an excerpt from an email

[quote=]half of the frame list data is used as bankswitching information, so it can be cut in half if it's not needed (there's no option for that now but I can add it). It might also be possible to create a lookup table and get down to a single byte/channel (with some overhead for the table). I can create a special optimized version if you want. I've also had some ideas on how to compress patterns by looping repeated parts... but other stuff has been prioritized (I can look into it now).[/quote]

the reason i need smaller filesizes for the NSF is... no-carrier and i are currently working on "Vegavox 2" - it uses mapper 0 (no bankswitching) - so the smaller the songs are the more art can be included and possibly another song (6 instead of 5) - anyone who is interested in that... please reply to show that there is interest in optimization features - thx

If it means more Mauer, then by all means.
