In this tutorial, I will teach you how to copy 8-bit Nintendo sounds using NSF Importer and FamiTracker. NSF files contain the sound and music data from NES games, and while these may be confusing at first, this step-by-step tutorial will teach you everything you need to know to faithfully recreate 8-bit Nintendo sounds. First, I will teach you how to use NSF Importer. Secondly, I will teach you how to understand NSF files. Lastly, I will show you how to directly copy sounds from any NSF file to FamiTracker.

NSF Importer is a powerful FamiTracker hack. It allows you to view, in an extremely precise manner, the code used to program sounds from your favorite 8-bit Nintendo games. Unlike other plugin based programs, NSF files allow you to clearly, and accurately, study the construction of Nintendo sounds.
