Why are there plugins for creating 8 bits, chiptune sounds, but no material on how to create the sounds from scratch? Isn't it very simple?

My hands-down favorite is Peach. Check it out in action on this track: http://seven7hwave.bandcamp.com/track/0100000101001001

Alas, this VST isn't available on Windows. After switching to OSX, I've tried some other solutions like magical 8-bit plugin. There's also Plogue Chipsounds, which sounds great and has a zillion options. But it's not freeware, and lacks the simplicity of Peach.

Cheers,
