And for people like me who suck at using trackers, they provide a lot of musics using each chipset so that you can see how it works. It's really amazing.
There is also DefleMask, supporting Genesis, SMS (+FM Sound Unit), GB, PCE, NES (+VRC7, +FDS), C64, Arcade, NeoGeo, and MSX2. It is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android and Raspberry Pi.
The music for Shovel Knight was made with this!
If you want something more advanced, check out Furnace tracker. It supports nearly every 8/16 bit sound chip. And you can combine them in the same song.
So if you ever wanted to do a track combining a Mega Drive with a NES; it is possible.
