I was trying out some FDS games last night. The wavetable audio seems to be slightly out of tune, noticeably different than using Nestopia or listening to an NSF in notsofatso / nsfplug. I could provide samples later on if anyone is interested.
Yes, I suppose you're right.
I made some comparisons myself. YouTube
Sorry to dig up an old post. I'm a new PowerPak owner and I did the resistor mod. I too noticed that the VRC6 channel is too loud in Akumajō Densetsu. You can barely hear the whip noise overtop of it. Anyone else notice that?

I got a 100k potentiometer and used that in place of the 47k resistor. That way you can change the volume to whatever level you want (i matched mine to an emulator's vrc6 levels using a wave editor).
Loopy's included pic of the mod. That just uses a 47k resistor.. replace it with something like this:
key: black thing toward bottom is the potentiometer with a knob in the middle, brown things are wires, yellow dots are soldered pins.
I will get a real picture sometime later today. I might not want to take apart my system completely because it was a tight fit / i didn't have really small wires to work with, so I don't want to screw it up
edit: mine actually connects to the leftmost and middle prongs of the potentiometer... the far prong was too much resistance.
you would connect the wires to the potentiometer so that outer and middle pins get used. connection to outer pins = non adjustable resistance (potentiometer's value)
