Music Development
C64
For early games, the music is written by David Warhol, and he used the music in assembly. Most of the time, Rob Hubbard is the main composer, and he wrote it in assembly.
NES
Rob Hubbard is the only person who wrote this driver. He wrote it in assembly.
GEN
Electronic Arts programmed many variants of the sound driver, some of them were from Z80 instruments. Among them were Rob Hubbard and Steve Hayes.
SNES
For Electronic Arts' Canadian branch, Kris Hatlelid and Alan Stewart programmed their own sound driver using a MIDI conversion tool. By the way the engine was programmed, SPC files are undumpable and instead must be ripped as SNSF files.
For other games, EA used their own version of the Kankichi-kun sound driver used by mostly Japanese developers.
