Nes Music Tools/design/albums

Okay, so I just wanted to see what free music maker tools that exist for the NES and thought that it could be fun to build a data-base here for usage with the Polyend Tracker community.

==Note:==
All the roms below are freeware, no-commercial roms, as we don’t want any troubles with IP :slight_smile:

Ah cool, i know i read the name somewhere😊

Yes, your roms are very nice on the nes emulator for the tracker! I think Pulsar would be cool too but does not run due to the rom size limitation.

Oh that’s interesting. I’ll maybe dust off the old NES assembler and see if there’s an easy way to output a smaller ROM. What’s the ROM size limit?

Curious that there’s a ROM for this as Nijuu was only ever source code (using text/macros to define the instruments/sequences etc.)

Ah that would be fantastic. I’m not totally sure, could be 64k, 24k and 48k do run afaik.

Discovering some of my old ROMS prompted me to add the archive of my old NES-AUDIO website where I used to host all the latest versions (at the time) along with manuals etc.

I got rid of my old website at the start of this year and started to use Github’s Pages hosting:

The NES stuff in in the ARCHIVE section.
