This is a collection of covers/remixes I've put together for the NES using ppmck. There's only a PAL version right now, but perhaps I'll add an NTSC version later with adjusted song tempos. I'm using a PowerPak and a real NES, but you can use Nintendulator, FCE Ultra or any decent emulator that has a PAL emulation mode.
The reason the ROM is so bloated is that a couple of the tracks were a bit tricky to fit inside 16kB, so I decided to use 32kB for all of them. 5*32 rounded up to the nearest power of two becomes 256kB, so there you go..
Use up/down to select a song and button A or B to start playing it. Happy listening.

So none of these tunes are original creations?

Right. I picked a bunch of songs that I liked from other platforms and recreated them for the NES's PSG. "LD50" being an exception, since it's not a cover of one song, but a mix containing elements from several different songs.

PSG is a weird name for it. 2A02 / 2A07, more like it!

playstation, my favourite platform!
music is ok but interface is maybe a bit too simple. thumb with a stick stuck under the nail.

For the effort and okayish interface then.
Props for using the NES in a proper way.

playwhatnow? :P

The bulk of the time was spent making the music. The interface was thrown together in mspaint, and then an afternoon was spent coding and testing (unlike something like this)

Depends on if you're talking about the noise channel on the NES, or the music genre noise.
In the first case, yes. In the second, no. The closest thing to noise I've heard on the NES is entry #31 in the Originals section of Famicompo mini vol. 4. It's a really cool tune too.
