do anybody know if there is an easy way of combining ftms/nsfs to a multi nsf file

i know you can copy and past in famitracker, but i´m searching for a way that is less time consuming

It doesn't look like there is a way.

You're stuck with copying & pasting into FamiTracker when it comes to FTMs, but NSFs are a whole different story (you'll most likely end up having to use a Hex editor to combine multiple NSFs into one file).

Actually jsr have planned (and already fixed it in a beta!) to inlude this in the future versions of FamiTracker. I have had the same problem as you Octapus... But thanks to jsr I now can combine FTM's with a beta he sent me!

For a simple copy & paste to work, you have to have a look at the two-digit numbers that are right next to the notes & volume column (those are the instrument numbers).

If those numbers appear in red, this means your notes can't play because they're not assigned to an instrument. If this is the case (or if your note's aren't playing exactly as they should,) you'd have to change the instruments.

thats the hard part if you as me have little or no programing skills, i have been trying to compare multi nsf files whit singel nsf files i the hex editor.
when i try to combine nsfs in the hex editor they always turn out to be corrupt.

anyone made a multi nsf file using a hexeditor?

@Kreese that sounds marvelous,

Thanks for pointing that out, tadpole; where would I be without that?

I haven't made any multi-NSF with a Hex editor, but it should be fairly easy; all you need to do is examine the NSF's header, change the number of tracks to whatever you want & add the tracks you need as close to the header or footer as possible.

That said, you'd still have to know which byte represents the number of songs in the track.
