Update 8-15: Replaced archive (again). A few of my NES rips were created by using NSFImport to export NSF tracks as ROM files, then play them back on a console using an Everdrive N8. Still a hardware rip, and usually accurate, but after a heads-up from Yishai I did some research and learned that NSFImport filters the NSF data through the FamiTracker code, potentially introducing inaccuracies in the final output. This was fully evident with a glitchy note in the Kraid's Lair track of the Metroid rip. Metroid has been re-ripped from scratch and fully in-game, so it should now be perfect.
I'll be re-ripping and updating any affected game sets.
