The game boy has a userdef waveform channel that is quite identical to a 32-step N163 waveform.
Many people have covered music in GB style using only 2 square waves, 1 noise channel, and 1 N163 channel. However, using only 1 N163 channel will result in unimaginably high N163 volume(if played on hardware) in the exported NSF -- although this is only correctly emulated by a few NSF players as far as I know.
nsf.nesbbs.com under reconstruction, better player might be available in the future.
VRC6 PWM is GAY because it has colours of the rainbow in the NSFPlay keyboard visualizer.

The waveforms used vary between games, so there is no constant bass waveform, which means you can draw the waveform you like.
As an example of a pseudo-GB track check this: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=980
The author of that post has posted several other pseudo GB tracks as well.
