Xod, is there some reason the general volume of the player is about 2x quieter than it "should" be? I've been using the Winamp 2.x plugin for a few days, and despite the Festalon volume slider being jacked all the way up, the volume is still incredibly quiet.

Ideas?

I set the maximum user-selectable volume to correspond to a value that wouldn't cause clipping when expansion sound chips were in use. Obviously, for most normal NSFs, the volume can go a bit higher without causing clipping.

The correct way to handle this would probably have been to drop the volume of the output whenever an expansion chip is in use. I had intended to implement this feature, once I learned what the attenuation on real Famicom carts is(probably using resistor across the audio-in and audio-out on the carts), but I lost interest.

I may still implement attenuation solely based on subjective tests of the volume of NSFs using various expansion chips, if I can get the motivation...

I hear ya. Thanks for the explanation. :-)

When I was making the song "Tax Evasion" I had some clipping problems with Festalon with the volume all the way up, so I had to turn it down... and I didn't use extended chips, just 2a03! :)

With 0.3.0, or an earlier version? 0.3.0 has a readjusted volume scale.

2a03.org has an earlier version listed, along with somewhat outdated versions of other NSF players. :/

Winamp.com also has an old version of Festalon listed, even after I submitted an update weeks(or maybe months) ago.

Urge to not care rising.
