What would it take to play the OPL versions of game soundtracks outside of the games? I quickly realized just getting a .MID and using FM synthesis playback is a no-go for anything resembling accuracy.
Many of the games I'm interested in have internal music/jukebox modes or cheats, but I'm certain that many more don't. I'd like to do this on real hardware (An ISA SB16 with discrete YM262.)

If you cannot extract or play a game's native FM music format with that, you can rip it with DOSBox to a DRO file.

My favourite way is to play them in DOS as VGMs. I download them from VGMRips and play them using SBVGM.
