heh,
to whoever asked about Nintendo Gameboy music software and similar, figured
this was of interest to some, so i'd keep it on-list.
one of the best pieces of Gameboy composition software I've seen is from the
super-enigmatic Finnish musician/programmer Aleksi Eeben, formerly known as
Heatbeat, and an Amiga demo-scene legend - he was _way_ ahead back in the
early 90s.
anyhow, he's produced a _great_ piece of software called the Carillon
Player, which enables you to do tracker-style composition direct on your
Gameboy Color, providing you have a flash-ROM cartridge (or on an emulator,
if you prefer, tho the fidelity isn't quite there.) So you can track entire
tunes on the bus or on the plane and save them direct to your Gameboy!
his website is at:

..and the Gameboy music section shows some mp3s he's done with Carillon
Player, plus some of his commercial GB work ('Tom and Jerry', even!) with
Paragon5's Beyond Tracker, which is a PC-based tracker for Gameboy based on
Screamtracker, and is unfortunately private and non-spreadable.
i think Gameboy music is an interesting area - you can make some damn funky
and idm-ish stuff with such limited resources :) The forthcoming Nanoloop
album sounds like a great example of this.
regards,
h0l.
