Chiptunes and Chipmusic
This is a Nintendo Gameboy, the weapon of choice for most Chiptuners. The 1989 device (model DMG-001) is hailed for the nostalgic feel and tone of it’s sound. Sometimes people modify these gameboys, to make them much, much doper. YouTube will tell us more.
And this guy just owns it:
Just dropped this mix, based on my performance last weekend at T-MODE. A lot of dope dubstep and dance music. Tracks collected from 8bitcollective, Newgrounds, and a few other sources. Enjoy the mix!

Yesterday I discovered this awesome directory of Chiptune samples, continuing my quest this morning I ran across this post on 8bitcollective detailing a number of VST plug-ins that emulate and recreate classic chiptune sounds! Many of these plug-ins are free, so you can download them and load them into your favorite music making program and start chipping out! I made this piece last night with The Magical 8bit Plug-In. Wow there are a ton of links in this post.
I’ll admit, I had heard of The Wily Wars but I had never played it, in fact I had no idea what it was. Turns out The Wily Wars was a game for the Sega Mega Drive (aka Genesis) in 1994 that comprised of ported versions of MegaMan 1, 2 and 3, originally for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
What’s totally rad about this game, is all the music is re-done to play on Sega’s hardware. What that means for turbo geeks out there, if you’re into that crunch, crisp, punchy FM Synth sound, the Soundtrack for The Wily Wars has remakes of all of the MegaMan music from the first three games. Some are better than others, and some total kick ass.
The MegaMan Network has the soundtrack up as a free download! totally awesome!
And you know I had to post the CUTMAN theme >B] [audio: rm1-03-cutmanstage.mp3]
