you will need a powerpak. there around a buck 50 or something like that now. theres no getting around this but after that no more money or modding is required.
then go here

theres some pretty cool native tracker stuff for nes.
then get to crackin yo.
try them out in an emulator first, but if you like it i can understand wanting to track on your nes. i tried to get into pulsar but never really took it very far. good luck!

edit: fuck shiru beat me too it smile but yeah those are tools you want.

However if your dead set on the NES make sure you have perfected the sound you are going for before worrying about playing your tracks on the NES
Good Luck!

Why do yo uwant it playing on the hardware? I've heard that FT's sound emulation is pretty accurate.
If you just want it on the NES for the sole reason of having it on the NES, or to "keep it real", then don't worry about it! Nobody's gonna look down on you if you record your albums/play live on stage with a laptop and FamiTracker. Fakebit/real chip isn't even worth arguing about, so don't worry.

Download Famitracker, write music on it, save/record MP3s/WAVs, that's it. No NES needed!

Worry about writing the music first! wink


But yes, a PowerPak will let you do just that!
