Some cover 8-bit music into rock or metal, but Inverse Phase is exactly the opposite, often covering metal/rock back into 8-bit. Special care is taken to follow the specifications of the system in question and not just slap together a MIDI arrangement with too many channels or run an existing MIDI through something like GXSCC. The results are dubbed "retrocovers", covers an 8-bit system is actually capable of.
