Not really? If the soundfonts were lower quality or based on older soundchips it could be but that's like asking if DOS music being played on a Soundblaster is chiptunes. But comparing it to the Genesis I definitely wouldn't think so.

I have no idea because I'm nostalgic for it too.

I've never quite understood why SNES music isn't considered chiptunes. Yes, the instruments are sampled, but even the NES could play sampled instruments. That's what Sunsoft did in a lot of their games. And one of the Game Boy's 4 sound channels was a wavetable, which meant it plays a very short sample on repeat to generate tones.

If chiptune is defined by samples, then Amiga music isn't chiptune either.

Here's an uncommon one, the Virtual Boy. The VB's soundchip is similar to a TG16 - 5 wavetable channels and a noise channel. It could've been utilized to do some great stuff but it died before much could be done with it, and no tracker exists. It's sad.

CHIPtune is music from soundCHIPs. So Amiga and SNES produce chiptune. It's just ain't PSG. The sounds aren't generated by the soundchip itself, you have to feed it samples. Most PS1 games also qualify as chiptune.

Gonzalez is the best, but people need to acknowledge Turok beyond 2. Rage Wars and 3 are amazing aswell.

Anyone have any recommendations for a tracker for the Sega Genesis? I'm looking at DefleMask currently, but I don't really know much about trackers.

If you want a criminally underrated Game Boy soundtrack, check out Cave Noire:

That's when it becomes tracker music (though I know most chiptunes these days are made on tracker programs too). I usually side on PSG when defining chiptunes but nobody ever really calls default soundfonts on DOS games "chiptunes" even though Amiga tracker modules can be considered as such, though the samples in the Amigas were probably based on synths and electronic doodads. We don't call the Yamaha keyboards that use PCM samples now "synthesizers" though too.

My apologies for a lame, almost autistic or semantic, argument.

Pretty sure we do. The four types of synthesizers are PSG, FM, wavetable and sample.
