Broadly speaking, most would compose on actual instruments, notate on staff paper, and then program the audio chip instructions manually, in Music Macro Language, or using a custom utility developed by the musician or studio. Tracker programs became available starting with the Amiga platform in the late 1980s, but most trackers were still written specifically for the hardware the program ran on. Today, NES...

You can use a program like FamiTracker (tracker-style interface) or FamiStudio (midi/piano-roll-style interface) which reproduce the NES's limitations and can export .nsf files which you can play back on an actual NES or emulator. Source: over 1 year ago
Recently using FamiStudio for Chiptune music. Its like FamiTracker but with a regular DAW like workflow - https://famistudio.org/. Source: over 1 year ago
Here you go dude. Pretty sure there is every game here, and all of the nsf files for them. AND if you want to actually delete an instrument or change it, there is a way to edit them on pc. https://famistudio.org/. Source: almost 2 years ago
For this cover I used FamiStudio to be as close as possible to the sound of the original NES. Source: about 2 years ago
I've also used ZynAddSubFX, which is also a very powerful synth, though its interface (at least to me) is a bit of a clusterfuck. You could also try browsing this index of microtonally capable synths on the xenharmonic wiki. Source: about 1 year ago
The code for this can be found here on shadertoy! The audio was made with an Ibanez bass, Guitarix, Hydrogen Drums, ZynaddSubFX and Ardour! Source: over 2 years ago
Here is an additive synth - https://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.io/. Source: over 2 years ago
There are VSTs for Linux. Surge, Vital, and ZynAddSubFx are three prominent examples, as well as OxeFM, Dexed, and plenty I'm forgetting. Surge and Zyn also come LV2 and DSSI, which are native Linux formats. For those who don't know, the VST3 SDK supports Linux, and is released under GPLv3 by Steinberg. Source: almost 3 years ago
