Support - PSF now stands for Portable Sound Format. Rlbond 06:10, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Moved. —Nightstallion (?) 08:16, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, you should edit the article to state the current meaning of PSF correctly in the introduction, I think, shouldn't you? —Nightstallion (?) 08:17, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merger_proposal

Nintendo Ultra 64 Sound Format could be merged into this format, given the discussion at the AfD and DRV. The primary reliable source provided (ieee) notes USF only in passing with regard to PSF. Thoughts? Protonk (talk) 22:44, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I very much like this idea. I would also like to see more of the dozen-and-a-half sound format articles merged in this way. All of them are extremely sparse in content and would work very well in a unified list article, in my opinion. The muramasa (talk) 23:14, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I support this, but in this specific case since USF is one of several subformats of PSF. Leave any other formats alone, please. A generic "video game sound formats" article is useless, and having separate sparse pages isn't really a problem on itself. — Kieff | Talk 11:25, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Oh yeah. Ummm. I support my merger idea (not really mine). :) Protonk (talk) 23:24, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why consoles and arcade video games of the 90's, used this format and not MIDI?

I want to ask: Why consoles and arcade video games of the 90's, used this music file format and not MIDI?

Most computer video games used MIDI, but consoles and arcade video games and even pinball machines used this and other proprietary music formats instead of MIDI.
