My NSF music files

Months ago, I converted some music to NSF (Nintendo Sound Format). You can download the songs from http://kamakura.cool.ne.jp/gamemusic/nsfdata4.htm#arc04 . Look at the bottom for Eugene Esterly III, that's me.

First of all, the chipscene music scene is very large. The chipscene music scene deals with designing music for NES, SNES, Genesis, Commodore 64, Intellivision, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, et al. Goto http://www.vorc.org/en/main.shtml & you will see how much music is being made for the old systems.

Chiptunes are music which uses the internal sound chips of the old systems. For example, designing music for the Old Nintendo Entertainment System (NSF sound format) is huge. There are 1000+ music made in NSF format, check out:

You goto see these songs because it's cool what kind of songs that people can write for old systems.

Also, I only do music for the old NES.

yes but why? just for the sound, or do you install it on a ROM and listen to it while u play a NES game?

Basically put, people write chiptune music for the fun of it. People write the music & you listen to it on your computer using an NSF player such as Winamp, Foobar 2000. The chiptune music can be converted into a rom, for example, the software which I use for NSF (MCK) can created an NES rom or an NSF from your music.

And no, you don't listen to it while playing an NES game. The chiptune scene is the same as the demo scene. In the demo scene, people write demos & they give it away on the NET. Same for the chiptune scene, people (such as me) create music for the old computers/game systems & we give it away. It seems you don't understand about the chiptune scene.
