There are alot of places you can go with it. TB toad is an OK drum kit thats 8 bit. Sorry as a hardstyle group were not much help.

some tips and tricks on making 8-bit tracks

Don't use FL. FL is pretty damn horrible for making chiptunes.

Get Famitracker - it's a tracker specifically made for making NES stuff and it's pretty good at it's job. LSDJ is a good alternative for the Game Boy.

You could also just get a bunch of square, triangle wave and noise samples and import those into a less specialized tracker like Milkytracker.

I'm one of your resident chiptuners. Let me know if you need anything.

You can use FL fine, you just need something that isn't bad as shit.

EDIT: 100th post and it has swearing.

Oh man. You've never written a chiptune in FL, then. It's so much easier than in a tracker, especially if your going for fake bit.

Trackers are for losers now. The cool fillies use MML. It has NAMCO106 support properly. Don't believe me that MML is better? Here's a NSF to make you drop your jaw. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52803321/roboka ... battle.nsf

The Famitracker version... it's bad.

[bartekko]

Famitracker is better for chiptunes than anything else for one reason: You can't do anything that isn't a chiptune in it, so whatever you make is automatically a chiptune.

Oh yay, a new toy to play with maybe someday after a lot of reading and some tutorials I'll have this LSDJ thing figured out.
