You don't "convert" chiptune music to something else entirely, it's not that simple. The music exists as it does, and has to be rearranged for a different set of instruments. This is especially time-consuming due to the limitations of a lot of sound chips most commonly associated with chiptune (such as the 2A03 of the NES), which tend to have limited arrangements due to the limited number of channels and can only deal in monophonic sound. Thus, chords and richer production would have to effectively be composed from scratch.
