Haven't seen anything posted on this, so I figured I'd start a thread. Looks like some people are rebooting famicompo. Starting Dec 1st to the 31st you can submit as many songs as you want to 3 different catergories (Original, Cover, or Freestyle). A select few will be pressed onto an NES cartridge and sold, but this is limited to 2a03-only submissions.

The freestyle category seems interesting. The only rule seems to be to incorporate the 2a03 into whatever you want and submit an mp3.

I've always loved Famicompo so this is pretty exciting to me! If I get the time I may even try to submit a song or two. What about you guys? Any thoughts?

Famicompo has never been limited to Famitracker, just limited to .nsf entries until this one. I recall a few past famicompo songs not even being possible with Famitracker (i.e. multiple expansion chips at once). Though I think you can pull that off with some sort of hack now.

Unless you can convert your 2a03 samples into nsfs you are out of luck.

True. You'd have to enter it in the Freestyle category. Although, it'd be worth giving IT2NSF a shot if you're making a module file with them.

And yeah, Famicompo has never been limited to Famitracker; you could use anything so long as the end product was an nsf file

IIRC it involves that the majority of the song is 2A03, and that it plays from start to finish.

S3M2NSF did just that, and was the start of the wave of western entries. At first it was pretty much all MMCK as I understood.
