Frequently Asked Questions

Is the result a real NES or Game Boy chip file?

No. The result is audio generated in a chiptune style from your prompt, not a file for a specific console or chip.

How do I get a loop for a game?

Ask for a repeating eight-bar or sixteen-bar section with a clear start and end, and choose the instrumental option. Test the loop in your game, since results vary.

Can I use 8-bit music in my game?

Free-plan use is non-commercial. Paid plans grant rights to songs you create, but check the plan and the Terms on /pricing before using music in a released game or monetized video.

What words work best in the prompt?

Terms like square wave, arpeggio, noise drums, chiptune, retro platformer and 8-bit help describe the sound. Add the mood and the scene for better results.
