FamiStudio Version 2.3.0 has been released.
FamiStudio is very simple music editor for the Nintendo Entertainment System or Famicom.
It is designed to be easier to use than FamiTracker, but its feature set is also much more limited.
It is targeted at both chiptune artists and NES homebrewers.
Available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

I've been tinkering with FL Studio since it was called Fruity Loops, so this is something that appeals to me.

I especially enjoy the fact that their Downloads come in Windows Portable and Linux versions; Linux is the ultimate destination to get the best out of all my older Windows Laptops so this will definitely be something to include there.

As for Windows Portable Applications, for someone who has to reinstall Windows at least once annually, this is the best solution and most of my daily driver Applications are Portable versions.
