i think only a .sho file is allowed this time so you would have to use a mario paint file and not xmsnes to make a .spc
sho. is required for the SNES Mario Paint category, but for the SNES/Super Famicom category you can submit .spc
@Alpine: Yes; we've had quite a few entries like that in previous compos
Whomever asked about Wildcard, basically anything that blips will do, so I've used it as an excuse to play guitar and use voices, others have played Yamaha tablehonker solos; anything that sounds "chip" enough to not get downvoted and fits the mp3 size limit is ok.
Happy to hear so much interest, looking forward to hearing all of you.

I am unfamiliar with a few of the categories. Simply out of curiosity could someone define all of them for me?

yep! there's a bunch of tools you can use to make each category
adlib can be made with a number of (usually DOS) tools, faust music creator, adlib tracker ii, reality adlib tracker are but a few
ay-3-8910/ym2149's main tracker is vortex tracker ii
pc engine/turbografx can be made with either huSIC or deflemask
mario paint's an extremely easy one, made so by the lovely 'mariopants'!
midi has many, anvil studio/rosegarden/sheet music notation programs/anything that can export a midi will do
24k tracker module's easiest ones (i think) are openmpt and milkytracker; the stipulation here is the end file has to be below 24 kilobytes
nes/famicom with expansions can be made with famitracker, you can use any expansion here (including pure 2a03 itself)
atari pokey x2 can be made with raster music tracker, has to be set to stereo hack to use the two pokeys
sega genesis/megadrive can be made with either tfm/vgm music maker or deflemask
snes/super famicom is made in openmpt/milkytracker/etc and then converted with either XMSNES or SNESMOD (depending on whether it's .xm or .it), there's a few stipulations such as it being 8 channels or less and certain sample constraints; let us know if you're having trouble with this one!
wildchip is of course anything at all (granted it's blippy)~ you can use this as an allgear format, but you can also impose your own constraints and submit any format not on the list (gameboy, sid, sms, 2x gameboy etc.)

FOKKER......

i make ridiculous midi files in fl studio, the last one i made actually plays back properly with the default microsoft synthesizer so i was considering trying to recreate the feat. basically what i'm asking is, does it actually matter what the midi files are made with as long as it fits within GM specifications?
only specification is that you write in GM and submit in .midi or .mid format :] any program is fine!

Thanks! Now I see I was about to enter into the wrong category XD. Or rather, miss an opportunity to enter into a more exclusive category that my music fit better into.
