Gave this a quick try but couldn't get it to play or give any audio output - am I missing something?

There are chip tunes that relate to a specific hardware and then there are chip tunes that are more about a particular sound or way of working that embraces some of the style and limitations of music from those systems. You can create the latter in FLStudio so why not.

I can only imagine it being frowned on if you were to claim is was authentic in respect of a specific systems or a specific set of limitaions. If you are honest about its origins I would think everybody would be happy to listen to the music and judge on its own merits (without bias). I certainly wouldn't consider it to be less worthy or down grade just because it wasn't created on a SID chip for example..

Working within some really tight limitations but still having the scope to create an infinite number of possibilities.

Oops, posted twice by mistake - sorry...

Are you still accepting beta testers, if so I would really love to have the chance to try your amazing tracker. I usually use Goattracker and Protracker and comeback tracker seems to offer the best of both worlds (I am not too bothered about using sampled sounds). You can find some of my work in HVSC.
