FX4 is a concept album set in the oceans and skies. Its story immediately precedes that of FX3. Unlike the previous albums, which were written as "soundalikes" using sampled chip sounds, FX4 consists of machine code that can run on a real NES system. It was written in Famitracker, available for free at famitracker.com.

The album is free, and I am not expecting or asking for payment, although I appreciate donations — the proceeds will go toward software I need for my one-man indie game project.

The NSF format files are here: http://biglionmusic.com/v-fx4.zip

If you don't have NES transfer hardware, the NSFs can be played using VirtuaNSF http://virtuanes.s1.xrea.com/vnes_dl.php (scroll to the bottom), or dozens of other players for PC, OS X, iPhone, Android, etc.

Also, I'm comfortable saying that "HBO Feature Presentation" is now my favorite chip cover of all time.

I think Singularity is my favorite track

This is a masterpiece. A true, honest to goodness masterpiece.

If for some reason I couldn't realize how douchey I would look if I did, I'd be bugging the hell out of Virt for his source files.

YOU MEAN THESE?

Or do you mean the Famitracker files?  Because
A) you can import nsfs into famitracker now with some success.
B) You can man up and do it by ear.  Open up in notsofatso, seperate channels, and slow down the tempo.

i sort of do that when i'm working on a cover, i just export each channel individually, line them up in ableton, and do the rest by ear. i like it cause if you're stuck on a small section, you can basically zoom in and loop it.

Opening these up in my nsf player and analyzing is making me mad that I've already hit the memory limits for LSDJ by running out of chains, phrases, and tables in songs.  I want to be able to put in this kind of detail. 

Maybe one day I can pray for an update.  Actually fuck it, I'll just sync 2 gameboys for some sort of magnum opus
