There's something always magical about 8-bit covers of Daft Punk songs, though this one's got me absorbed in it. I'm not sure how many times I've looped it but I get the feeling I'm gonna be looping it a whole bunch for a while. Thanks for the cool tunes~
that's an interesting question; it's hard to find ANY info about the actual costs of said expansion chips. However in general it is hard to include a multitude of chips on a cart anyway due to conflicting accesses to certain memory addresses for example (considering most of the chips did not only expand the audio capabilities, but rom mappers along with bank switching capabilities, etc pp). They were not designed to be on the same cart. It's a bummer though, i would love an actual NES orchestra cartridge.
also I'd like to add that when I (and 99,9% of all Chiptuners i'd assume) actually compose something for being used on a physical cart you have to be much more cautious with space limitations and as such have to optimize much more in that regard. Shorter loops, simplified harmonies, erasing rudundancies, you name it. That is of course absolutely not what is going on here and i love having that option on hand.

thanks for tuning in!
Amazing cover!, I almost confused the beginning with the original audio, xD
Songs that add a bunch of chips together like this makes me wonder how much the Famicom cartridge would have cost.
