In terms of best I'm not one to ask, though I know of one program.

Yes ! Like Ovenrake, I think the best tracker for SMS is MOD2PSG. You can use TFM Music Maker too !
Audio examples there : http://woolyss.com/chipmusic-chiptrackers.php?s=Sega
You can use the excellent free samples SEGA SMS and SMD of Little-scale :

...or the free VST plugins : ProtoPSG, SN-EMU, Soft PSG, VOPM

using mod2psg2, finally really getting used to the program. its really limited actually. I thought lsdj was limited but yeah..... anyways I am wondering if the sms can do more than what mod2psg2 can do. maybe there is another tracker I should be using or something if mod2psg2 is limiting me.

Here is how I do it (probably an easier way to do it but I've never known any better):
Make sure you save your file from mod2psg2 as a .vgm file first. Then proceed to download Winamp.
Once you've downloaded and installed Winamp download this plugin which enables .vgm playback in Winamp (can't remember exactly how I installed the plugin but I think there is a plugin folder in the Winamp directory on the C drive)
Once you've done all that, add your desired .vgm file to the library on Winamp and right click it>send to>format converter>convert to desired format.
Hope that helps!
