Famicompo begins for NES music
posted in Site News by deathadder on May 16th, 2003To celebrate the 20th birthday of Nintendo's NES (Famicom) system, the first online music competiton for NES 2A03 sound called Famicompo started. Nowadays, the NES music scene is getting more interesting day by day. There are already two tracker programs for NES: Nerd Tracker II (DOS) and Cheese Tracker (Linux). Japanese fans may wish to use another music editor, called mck, which is based on Japanese traditional MML style. For those who haven't heard about MML: it's a text-based music editing system, most popular for 8-bit/16-bit music in Japan. In case you're interested in this method, read Virt's mck guide first. Here are the rules for the competition:
- Acceptable format(s): NSF only
- Each person who enters may send in up to five songs
- Both originals and covers (including unadorned copies) are allowed
- Use internal channels only
- Agreement for entry distribution, etc.
