Speed 1
Tempo 150

I tried increasing Tempo up,but it's same as 150,though BPM was increased at 1530.00
So,it's the fastset speed?

900 BPM is the fastest speed. It's a limitation of the hardware as far as I know, considering that it's got something to do with the 2A03 chip's frequency.

You can increase the engine speed in the menu. I'm not sure if this is supported on real hardware or all NSF players

You'll find relevant info [url=http://famitracker.com/wiki/index.php?title=Tempo]here.

Basically, 900 bpm is the maximum because (150 bpm*6)/1 = 900 bpm. At that speed, 1 row corresponds to 1 update of the audio engine. You can't go any faster than that. Not at 60 Hz, anyway.

Note that if you switch over to PAL mode (50 Hz), the maximum tempo then becomes 750 bpm, because (125 bpm*6)/1 = 750 bpm.
