It created using limited sound cards, usually from retro gaming machines such as the NES, Atari ST, and the original Game boys. This creates the sort of sountracks found in games from these platforms. It generally uses basic waveforms such as square, sine, sawtooth, pulse and triange waves. Drums are usualyy reoplicated from white noise running through an ADSR envelope.
Recently there has been an uprising in the popularity of chiptune. Modern artist usually use various emulators to recreate the sound of chiptune, but many people agree that hardware will always create a better sound.
