lame, post real files here.
There is famitracker for composing famikon music, there is sunvox for generating music in a very complex way, and there are your more traditional trackers and tracker formats.
If anyone on this dead board actually makes chiptunes, it would be very cool. But I highly doubt it.
Unreal, Deus Ex, Bejeweled 2 Deluxe and Cave Story all used chiptune music. Every single famikon game used chiptune music in a sense.
What are good trackers to listen music in? I forgot.
I remembered.

crossplatform music tracker. Because it is so crossplatform, it avoids using floating point operations (and I assume SSE too), you can't be crossplatform without sacrifices. Some of the options it has are very confusing for me, and the worst thing is they slightly but almost unnoticeably change the resulting sound, so I don't know which the composer intended.

This is just a player rather than a tracker. You don't see the music, you only play it. It supports lots of formats, more than trackers, but I prefer actual trackers, because in trackers I can see every note, every time there is some slick shit like loops or jumps happen, and I can see author's comments more easily.

music tracker for windows. Never used it.
http://www.famitracker.com
tracker for ファミコン/famikon/famicom/NES/Dendy. Simple and decent enough, but it can only produce the sound famikon can produce.

It uses Music Markup Language to play music. It originally used FlMML (Flash MML), but now I think they use something javascript based. It is a bit laggy if complex features are used, and javascript is rarely not laggy in general.

This allows you to make chiptune music right on your gameboy.
Listen to this to see what it is capable of.

>>4 I make chiptune-flavoured music sometimes using chiptuney elements and timbres, but not really pure chiptune... I like the artist Bubu though, sometimes see him busking in town with LSDJ plugged into a guitar amp
Computerization's “Fake Music” is maybe my favourite chiptune album (other than actual game soundtracks)

I guess he's not really “pure chiptune” either since he uses vocoders and stuff, I remember people holding the idea that it's only “true chiptune” if the artist uses authentic hardware soundchips
>>9 There was a guy kept spamming archive links
Chiptunes that:
1) Have smaller size than mp3
2) Not too cpu intense
3) Sound good
interest me the most. I want to make a videogame that uses chiptune-like music and soundeffects one day.
I remember "Zorg", "Fox" and "DSCK" posting their chiptunes on sovietrussia's /m/ board (it supported uploading a few tracker file formats), and I used one in a game I made at uni. I had just discovered Touhou and wanted to make one like that but you had to shoot emo kids. Turned out crap but the song was cool
What is the exact url of this sovietrussia? I wish they'd upload on something that doesn't flush their everything into nothingness too soon.
sovietrussia dot org was a wee imageboard I came across in 2007, it was part of the iichan network. It died of CP spam quite a few years ago now. It had a few good boards (I liked the Flash, Wallpapers and Circles boards, and its /z/ - Random board was brilliant) but the best was the Music board because it supported music file uploads, including mp3s and AACs as well as milky tracker files and things.
There was a good site for chiptunes called 8 Bit Collectives, which went down in 2011 but I found this archive https://archive dot org/details/Best_of_8_Bit_Collective-2006-2011 I'm sure you'll find some great stuff in there, though I'm not sure what it contains if it's just MP3s or other tracker files as well

This is a nice chiptune album that I discovered a few years back that I think you might like.
