Animal Crossing New Leaf - Kapp'n Song [2A03]

Just kinda did this out of nowhere

Original track composed by Hidenori Maezawa, Copyright © 1987 Konami

Getsu Fuuma Den [FC] - Go! Getsu Fuuma (SCC-alike, 5B+N163)

Final Fantasy VII - Birth of a God [8BIT]

This game will forever hold a special place in my heart. 2021 has been a crazy year for me man. I never expected myself to keep making music but what can I say chiptune is so damn fun. Happy New Year's everyone.

Chrono Trigger - Chrono Trigger [2A03+VRC6+N163]

VIP remix of my earlier release, Moe Moe Kyunstep (https://chibitech.bandcamp.com/album/moe-moe-kyunstep), this time in drum & bass flavor.

Composed in Famitracker v0.4.2 (Nintendo NES, 2A03 + VRC6).

This remix was originally slated for my recent LP album, MoeNES vol.1 (https://chibitech.bandcamp.com/album/moenes-vol-1-the-idol-composers-groove), but due to severe time constraints this had to be left out of the album and pushed back until now.

Some technical notes:
・ Compiled NSF is ~217KB. This song is horrendously unoptimized. :(
・ Entire song consists of two subsongs, due to an insufficient amount of total patterns needed to fit the entire thing within one subsong (even after automatic duplicate pattern removal).
・ Song's replay timer runs @ ~400Hz, which is largely responsible for the modulation effects.
・ Song DOES play on a powerpak's NSF player at full speed (though fast-forwarding has inconsistencies and doesn't go much faster). Yes, the song is legit NES + VRC6 capable. It would probably be a nightmare for NES programmers to use as in-game music though, lol.
・ VRC6's sawtooth channel is not used at all. This is not due to technical limitations or anything, I just didn't bother to use it I guess. :how2melody:
・ DPCM only uses a kickdrum & snare (total <1KB), as well as $4011 writes for rudimentary triangle channel volume control. No melodic samples are used.

Moe Moe Kyunstep (lil' demonic swallowtail VIP mix)

I used to be kind of indifferent to the this version of Tengu Man's theme, but after I played through the Sega Saturn version of Mega Man 8 recently, it kinda grew on me. 

Mostly I'm curious why they gave him a different theme at all?

Also be sure to check out my 2021 compilation album if you haven't already, it's got downloads to everything I released on YouTube/Soundcloud last year: https://zerojanitor.bandcamp.com/album/2021-releases

Mega Man 8 (Saturn) - Tengu Man [VRC6]

Also the theme used for the Bombchu Bowling Alley!

I'm covering a shorter song this time, but I've got some ideas brewing already for the next thing...

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Shooting Gallery [2A03]

Something I came up with while I was playing my piano. Enjoy!

Janides (VRC7)

As far as I know this is the longest NSF that uses the 5B musically, exclusively, AND uses all of its features (envgen, noise, multimode channels, mode combos). This is basically me making an MSX play music at half its normal clock speed, except the chip is on a cartridge and it's the Famicom.
Captured from real hardware.

Famicompo Pico 2015 - Buzzer (Jochen Hippel/Mad Max)

So I decided to dust off Famitracker and attempt a cover of my buddy Jredd's amazing "PSG Strut" tune using only the stock 2A03 chip,  No samples channel or expansion chips were used in the making of this track.  For you NES audiophiles out there - I hope you catch the composer references!

Another throwback this time from 2008, this was originally written for an album I wanted to do called trinity, but I abandoned the album and it got released on a iimusic compilation called "heartcode" instead.

This was my second entry for the Forever 2018 Atari 8-bit Music Compo. It ended up 4th. Uses stereo POKEY, with double-speed player.

Atari Goes On!

A medley of 10 Mega Man / Rock Man games/songs put together. This is playing off real hardware.

My only regret is that I never added a Mega Man 10 song after it came out.

"MOECOM LYNX (NORcal STYlez MIX+)"
Original by Blasterhead feat. 桃井はるこ (from UNDER17).
Remix by chibi-tech.

Also known as the "Chibi-Tech NES Edit".
Originally released as a bonus track in "MOECOM LYNX 2010 E.P.+" for winter Comic Market 79 in 2010. [BHCD13]
Composed in Famitracker v0.3.5 beta 1 (NES 2A03 + Konami VRC6).

MOECOM LYNX (NORcal STYlez MIX) [Original by Blasterhead feat. Halko Momoi (from UNDER17)]

As you probably know, I'm a big fan of an arcade game for kids called PriPara. I arranged the (unbelievably addicting) outfit change BGM in famicom style. I originally did this in less than 30 minutes before my live set @ PICO JAM 2018 in kichijoji. Then I realized how much I screwed up on the notes and fixed it thereafter.

Original by Yukie Sugawara, 2014 Takara Tomy Arts / syn Sophia.

Sound source: RP2A03 + MMC5 (well, converted to VRC6 so that my powerpak could play it during my set, lol)

【プリパラ】コーデチェンジスタート！(ファミコンver.) [Original by Yukie Sugawara]

One of my more classic NES tunes, made a month before I moved out of the United States to start a new life in Japan (Valentines Day of 2009, in fact).
If you've seen my live sets that I've played over the years, this is the little ditty I usually end them with. Yes, even after the growlfest stuff, lol.

Also, if you were wondering what that extra little NSF file that's included in my recent release "Crema Binaria" is, well... this is it.

I did treat this song as my "special" personal creation, and never really released this song officially outside of compilations lost to the sands of time.
I guess I should remedy that now. 

Dedicated to Andrew (back then, and still now)... I'm forever grateful for his kindness and patience with me after all these years.
I love you♥

Rusty - Queen in the Dark Knight [LSDJ]

I covered the song "Don't Call" (Denwa Shinai de) by Keiko Kimura from her 1988 album "Style." I used 0CC FamiTracker 0.3.15.3 with the N163, FDS, and VRC7 expansion chips. Grab the FTM here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=122jNEY9H7wED1p2RCbtDb7MdZQZlupnb

One of my favorite 90s hits, now as an NES-styled jam! I started working on this a couple of days ago and actually already uploaded it as an unfinished project, so here's the finished version, now with verses and a few little tweaks to make it sound more spot on.

Tell me what you think in the comments, and feel free to suggest any other songs you'd like to hear 8-bit versions of. Also be sure to follow me if you want to hear more of my music, including other chiptune covers like this one!

Here's a link to the original song on YouTube if you haven't heard it (it's a ding-dang bop!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZBSG...

Made using a Winebottled version of FamiTracker on a MacBook Pro. I had a lot of fun making this, as 50s doo-wop is one of my favorite genres of music- and this is one of my favorite songs in that genre! I'm really proud of it as well, as the backing chord harmonies are a lot more rhythmically complex than a lot of my previous 8-bit covers. I created the thumbnail image using a crappy online image editor, and the custom Mario sprites were also made by me. If you enjoyed this, then consider checking out some of my other music– for instance, this is only one of several other chiptune covers I've created, the likes of which you can here in the playlists linked above. Or don't. This is just a hobby at the moment so I don't really give a crap tbh.

Cheers!

Seriously though I got hooked on this game recently, definitely a hidden gem on the PS2. Underrated game with an underrated soundtrack.
