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.)
