This has been a pet project of mine for quite some time. It began as a challenge to see if I could write an emulator for the NES sound chip (2A03). After making the emulator, I decided to write some sequencing functionality, and eventually we have a fully-featured tracker that can be used to make NES music from scratch.

Download the NesTracker 0.5 Beta Installer

This program requires the .NET Framework 2.0, which it should check your system for on installation. It also requires the latest version of DirectX.

Here is a video demonstrating a recreation of the Zelda 2 overworld theme:

I encourage everyone to try this out and post feedback here. Errors especially, but also general usability comments. I have plenty of features planned for the next version, including NSF export (to use your songs on real NES hardware or in an emulator).

[Edit: I have changed the link to point to the latest install file.]

Squarespace has some awesome new styles now, so we're rocking teal. I'll find some time to adjust it a bit since I think the fonts are too small, but so far it's got the look of freshness.

Also freshly updated is my resume.
