Description:

this is also a very good one. All of the chiptunes are being converted from their original format to wave, by the way

Dam this song, this is one of the songs that got me into chiptune music in the first place. I love seeing what the people made back in the day and still continue to do today! 

how do people even make these, anyways?

The reason why your chips are so LQ when you convert them is because you interpolate them. If you disable interpolation in your player, E.G Amiga style resampling, you'll have it sounding correctly. This is especially important with chiptune as often the resampling is what makes it sound good in the 1st place.

Daaaaaamn, this one is great. Loving this series already, keep 'em coming!

Adding onto Mudb0y's comment, perhaps the fastest way to render mods that I've found is to use the OpenMPT command-line tool. You want:
openmpt123 --render --filter 1 /path/to/mod_file

When searching for this I also found a synth cover of it which is pretty neat: https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=202030

oh thanks. I will use open mpt next time
