While not an official release by a label or anything, I've split up the MM9.5 files for you to enjoy or whatever.

I think there's a schism with tracking not being 'real chip', which is kinda weird when you check out how long the chipscene has been going on there.

Yes, you're right.  A lot of tracked music now uses a ton of channels and effects that weren't originally possible (or were they? but most music didn't use it that I've heard from the mid/early 90s).  Also people have a predefined assumption in their own head when they hear "chipmusic" and an explanation of it.  Someone from Europe might think of Amiga / C64 / SMS stuff, someone from the US will probably think NES or Atari if they're old enough tongue and those from Japan will probably think Famicom.  It's pretty region-specific from what I've seen, and now that the "scene" is opening up to other areas than just Europe, ideas start to clash, etc.






wait, what do i know? i just write music and bury my head in the sand the rest of the time

A little more realistic: you want lots of people to like your shit and it isn't happening? Then you are doing something wrong. IMPROVE towards your goal. People speak, read their signs and do something about it instead of becoming a pussy complaining wanker. Perhaps you don't give a fuck, and have other goals for your music-making. Or perhaps you want to quit. It's your choice, everyone has different goals regarding their artistic expression.

Agreed on this one... though if you write music solely for personal fame and it isn't working, then rethink why you're writing music.

so excited for this. it's a real big step for NES music i think smile

eh, i don't know if it's a real big step, i mean, you can do anything with this tracker that you can in famitracker and vice versa, both have strengths and weaknesses, etc.  sure, it's fun to run the music on the system from start to finish, but i wonder how fast it will be to make music like that.
