Music Development
GB
Warhol created a program that converted MIDI files to something that the GameBoy could read. According to one of the composer's at Realtime Associates, it was really touchy in that if a note overlapped another note a little bit in the MIDI file, the song wouldn't play back properly and instead hang on the said note.
GG/SMS
David created a MIDI conversion tool.
NES
Warhol created a program that converted MIDI files to the NES. He would compose his MIDI files in Cakewalk and then use his program to convert said MIDIs to the NES. If another composer at Realtime Associates was behind the music, he would use the same procedure, except he would arrange the composers' MIDI files first before converting them.
