FamiTracker is a free windows tracker for producing music for the NES/Famicom-systems. The interface is based on MadTracker and should be easy to use if you've been using trackers before.

One of the features is NSF-file exporting. That allows music created in this tracker to be played on the real hardware, or even for for use in your own NES-applications.

Some other features:
 * Full real-time emulation of all channels
 * Internal PCM to DPCM-sample converter
 * MIDI input devices are supported
 * NTSC & PAL modes are both supported

Bug-reports, comments and suggestions are welcome.

 * Some of you have reported sound problems, those are usually caused by the sound buffer being too small. Open sound settings and increase buffer length until it sounds good.
 * A common request are emulation of expansion chips. I'll start implementing some of them in the next version.

I've been asked to accept donations, and that's fine by me. But of course it's not necessary for retaining this project. (Check bottom of this page)
Finally, thanks to slize106 for new hosting and webpage! There's a forum also.
Happy tracking!
