What it does
FamiStudio targets chiptune composition and NES homebrew with a dedicated music editor.
Compose with NES/Famicom channels and instruments, then choose the export for the job: audio for listening, NSF for a compatible player or ROM/FDS for supported hardware/emulation. Audio export can split channels and set loop counts or duration.
Video export needs a separate FFmpeg installation. Projects combining multiple audio expansions cannot export to ROM/FDS, and some outputs, including OGG and MIDI, are desktop-only. Follow the platform’s .NET/dependency instructions before preparing a game workflow.
