Supported Audio Formats

Audio Format	NS1	PS4	WIIU3	Nijiiro
WAV (PCM)	✅	✅	✅	✅
BNSF (IS14)	✅	✅	❓	✅
Nintendo OPUS	✅	❌	❌	❌
Nintendo IDSP	✅	❌	✅	✅

Known Limitations

It seems that if a IS14 BNSF .nus3bank file is too long/too large in size, then it'll fail to play in "Song Select", even if the "Preview Point" is properly set.

Due to the limitations of the format, IS14 only supports MONO audio and a rather low bitrate. As a result, the audio quality is rather low.

When it comes to Song ID:
Nijiiro can have Song IDs ranging from 3 to 8 characters.
Wii U, PS4 and NS1 can only have Song IDs ranging from 3 to 6 characters.
Exceeding this will result in an error.
