Excellent tribute!

We've done some chip-sessions a couple of years ago, mostly fully productions all the way from recording the Nintendo Gameboy to the final release candidate, including albums, remixes and Kraftwerk tributes.

As for most sources, it's interesting to play around with different preamps sometimes, even on a GBoy...and sampling frequencies...96k really catch the nasty transients from the Nintendos. A great GB-tweak is to change the master oscillator to one with half the normal clock frequency. GB goes screw...

From a mastering perspective there're no special treatments to this lo-fi-genre, just watch out for lo-end freqs from lo-fi hell...
