What is a .NSF file?
An NSF file is a type of audio file specifically used to store music or sound effects from Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) games. This format, known as the NES Sound Format, can include music that was originally part of NES games or new compositions made by enthusiasts of NES music and chiptune (a style of synthesized electronic music used by old video games). People create these compositions using special software called music trackers.
