>> The atmosphere of holding a Game Boy connected to a bunch of audio equipment is certainly a lot different than sitting in a DAW with an emulator (assuming software exists to marry those two kinds of things... maybe via MIDI or something?)
Most chiptune-inspired synths come in VST format. They run inside the DAW. I usually just put something together in Serum when I want a chiptune-esque sound, but I used various chip synth VSTs before I had Serum.
None quite match the feel of composing in Mario Paint on a friend's SNES decades ago.
