As of version 1.11.1, I saw that BizHawk is able to rip music through neshawk. But the problem is that I'm stuck on the step of creating a .xrns file to be able to do rip them. I got the Renoise program and spent nearly 2 hours trying to make sense out of it but the program is a mess. The fact I suck royally at "music theory" doesn't help at all either.

How to use:
Create a file called template.xrns in the directory you are going to export to. This tool will load that and replace the patterns with the logged data.
Make sure the template has 5 tracks. There should be pulse waveforms in instruments (0,1,2,3), noise in instrument 4, and a triangle in instrument 8.
I was wondering if someone can provide a pre-made .xrns file already structured for NES music ripping, so people can simply grab it if they want to rip the music? I don't think everybody out there knows how to work with Renoise. I've already asked two friends of mine to try helping me but they were not able to do so.
Since the same .xrns structure can be used for any NES game, just one file would be enough.

It's not very high quality, it's only useful for someone with music theory background or tracker experience to analyze. Many notes will be wrong and noisy, etc. I can make it better but it's suited my needs so far. I doubt you will find any use for it. You would be better off finding a .nsf-to-midi tool.
So, I downloaded the .xrns, put it in an empty folder, pressed "Export XRNS file" on neshawk and selected the aforementioned folder as destination. Got this error:
