Here is how I relate to the whole OPL3 vs Rest debate: Fuck OPL3. Seriously. Aside from a couple chiptune music tracks that take advantage of specific bugs in producing sound, the differences are minor between different implementations (except the ones that are outright godawful of course, but FM …
