VegaPlay can't readily play music using expansion chips like VRC6 or MMC5 (you'd have to modify the ROM's code quite a bit). So it's a good thing you mentioned "no expansion chips."
And with enough programming skills, you can add more than 10 tunes into the ROM.

Then again, I guess you don't want to see any tricks like using the DPCM channel as a second triangle channel (that takes away from the challenge). :P
EDIT: I just realized that 10 people could be using different (& possibly multiple) DMC files for their compositions (& that wouldn't be practical for this purpose because not every sample can be embedded into the project).
I FAIL!
Anyways... I understand to avoid DPCM because everyone may be using different files & not all can be included in the project.

octapus said he wanted 10 artists to submit 1 song each (in their FamiTracker project file format,) using only the straight-out 2A03 chip (without expansions or the use of DPCM).
He wants 10 songs because VegaPLay is pre-configured to run 10 songs in its on-screen track listing. He also wants the FamiTracker project files to be submitted instead of the NSF files (that way, he can combine the songs into one project, compile the NSF with all 10 songs & hack the header out of the file; that's how you include NSF files inside VegaPlay).
And no DPCM samples (because there's no true way of making sure everyone's using the same sample files for their DPCM beats & noises).
I also think I'll submit a song (I already e-mailed it to octapus,) just to help out. I call it "It's Bad in Baghdad" & it was composed in FamiTracker 0.3.0.
Enjoy (I hope it's good enough for the floppy idea).
And if you don't enjoy it, I hope it encourages you all to create something better (or at least suggest something to me)! :P
