Question, how did you convert music to 8-bit chiptunes?

Can I have a copy? I've always wanted to see how it's done

Not without the rest of ArchiBoT, and that code probably won't even work in your case as it's too machine-specific, for instance it requires old SoundBlaster to work. It was written when I didn't have any decent programming knowledge, and I don't want to spread this mess around.
Basically, it reads MIDI file, then tries to smartly use audio soundbanks that match notes. Soundbanks come from various ancient 8-bit-like devices, such as GameBoy, NES, Spectrum, Amiga and more. The algorithm is actually awful and could be done much better, but I don't have time to rewrite everything - I'd do that in totally different way today. That's one of the reasons why some songs sound much better than other ones.
You can do the same and much better today, by finding MIDI of the song you like, and simply putting instruments in any decent audio creator, e.g. FL Studio. Perhaps eventually I'll rewrite that code and put on my GitHub, but it's too machine-specific to do that anytime soon. TBH I found it by accident and thought that it'd be cool for creating an event :3. I remember it was for some kind of local programming contest, but I'm not even sure if I participated in it eventually.

Thank you for the event! And happy birthday to be.
I'm pretty sure I'm tone deaf and I'm terrible at pin pointing music and sounds to what they are even if they sound terribly familiar.
I did a few of the easy ones, but then frustration and depression set in T_T

Aaaand... it's over! :3
Thank you for participating, I hope you had as much fun as we did during preparing the event for you!
As some people asked, here you can find 7z archive which contains all chiptunes that were used during the event, as well as some that didn't make it to the event, yet we had them ready (total of 369 songs). Feel free to use them however you wish.
We hope that you join us in our future events! :3

We made it tradition in Touhou Giveaways to organize public SG events from time to time, rewarding everybody with decent giveaways as a "giveback" to the community. Every event is unique, carefully prepared by Touhou Staff, with contributions from various Touhou Giveaways members. This way we want to show that giveaway groups are not only about giveaways, and it's the community that plays important part in creating a successful group of lovely people.
This time we'll put you to the test. Your every ability and skill will come useful. In cooperation with other SG members, you'll be working hard on solving the biggest mysteries we prepared for you, which will require versatility, especially games, movies, music, anime and memes knowledge, and that's only the beginning.
Rules
Group puzzles
Group puzzles are supposed to be solved by the SG community. You can (and should) work together on solving these ones. I strongly encourage you to use the thread for sharing hints, thoughts, possible clues and other useful information regarding questions being asked. You can ask anybody for help, apart from Touhou Giveaways members (who are also excluded from participation).
Every group puzzle features mini-train after solving all questions, and they're further categorized into matching themes, so solving RPG puzzle consisting of RPG-like questions will reward you with many awesome RPG games!

Single puzzles
Single puzzles are supposed to be solved solo, so I'd appreciate if you did not share hints, thoughts or otherwise useful information regarding them. Those puzzles are divided into three categories, and I'm sure that everybody can solve at least one of those solo, so why not give it a try?
Easy
Those are puzzles which are considered easy to solve for majority of people.
Easy #1
Easy #2
Easy #3
Easy #4
Easy #5
Easy #6
Easy #7
Easy #8
Easy #9
Easy #10
Easy #11
Easy #12
Easy #13
Easy #14
Easy #15
Easy #16
Medium
Solving those might require prior knowledge of particular game/movie, but that knowledge is considered quite common in this case.
Medium #1
Medium #2

Medium #10
Medium #11
Medium #12
Medium #13
Medium #14
Medium #15
Medium #16
Medium #17
Hard
Solving those usually requires expert knowledge of particular game/movie, very often obscure and otherwise unknown or rare titles. Maybe reward will be worth it?
Hard #1
Hard #2
Hard #3

Hints
We made our best to focus on community aspect of our event, therefore majority of giveaways (245 out of 289 total) are behind group puzzles. We expect that you'll solve them quite easily. If it becomes too difficult, we will give you some hints, but we'll also reduce amount of giveaways for that gate, so hard-work will be much more rewarding :3.
Regarding single ones - giveaway creator's rules apply. We have prepared two hint phases: at 15th August and 18th August, offering every giveaway creator to decide if (s)he wants to disclose any hints (or not).
All clear?
Then go solve those mysteries! We wish you all good luck!
AND NOW FOR THE FIGHT YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR...
