Hey everyone.
I'm new to this board but it looks really good.
This isn't really a chiptune, but pretty much its some new stuff layered on a cut up chip tune for a remix contest Capcom held a few months ago.

I was pretty proud of it, especially the little solo I played towards the end.
I plan on making some real chip tunes shortly.
Thanks for checking it out!
not bad, i look forward to seeing what you can do with something like this:

and this:

*waiting to get shit from people for suggesting lsdj to a newcomer*
btw, in the future you should upload your song using the site's upload feature and check off the box for constructive criticism for single tunes

ha those look pretty interesting, but id need some time to figure them out, especially the lsdj. nanoloop looks awesome though..
I remember back in the day I used to make riffs and loops on Gameboy Camera's DJ mode and record them and sequence the loops into techno tracks. It was pretty fun but obviously limited and tedious.
in terms of making real chip music, i really want to get midines. is that still being made?
and regarding the criticism aspect, this was a done piece and I just figured, its free to enjoy. but i will post my WIP's in the section you mentioned. 
(also i wasn't sure if it counted as a chip tune since I had other none chip sounds in there so I didn't want to muck up your music gallery)

It's pretty cool, but yeah, we generally discourage posting videogame remixes around these parts since there's already a good strong community for that (OC) and this is more for making original sounds using chip hardware (even if the songs are not original).
Anyway, I would definitely suggest that you try out different chip music programs if you want to get into making music this way, via emulators, before buying anything. As for midines, it's still possible to get it, but there are also some other tracker programs in the works for NES which might be worth checking out. When it comes to playing live, though, it's easier to play gameboys than NES decks. Also it's worth checking out the newer programs on the DS, like cartridges (DS10, M01), DSiWare (Rytmik, Rhythm Core Alpha), and homebrew (Tonesynth). AND, there's nothing wrong with making fakebit in your favorite DAW, using VSTs like Plogue Chipsounds and Chip32.
So, my point is, there are lots of options!
