The description says the track was made with "modplug tracker (with a setup for making real NES music)". Does anyone know to write NSFs using OpenMPT?
I am interested in this too.

coda

originally, people would just make NES music with chip samples and some understanding of the hardware limitations (2 square waves, 1 triangle with no volume, 1 1-bit noise, 1 sample channel at limited pitches)
when i made chocolate rain 8-bit, we had a tool called s3m2nsf which basically allows you to do the same thing but convert to NSF afterwards

there are newer, more powerful (but more complicated) tools now:

as well as dedicated trackers that are not so bad once you configure them
