I can try to adapt Nuked OPL3, but this will take a long time since it is not built for speed, but for precision. But I can test it whether the Pico 2 is fast enough for it.

Maybe take a look at https://github.com/tgies/Nuked-OPL3-fast. He's still optimizing it further but it runs on a Pico 2.

Thanks for sharing. I have tried it and it seems to be still a bit too slow. I have removed channels c and d (since only stereo is needed), but still it needs about 20 percent improvement. Please, can you show me it running on Pico 2? Not really sure whether I have coded something badly.

I didn't try it but you can probably ask him on Discord (agovtman). There was a discussion about it on the PicoGUS Discord channel. They were using an overclocked Pico 2 btw (with 0 underruns etc).

Stereo-on-1 is a device supported in a few games (mostly built on top of ModObj sound library) that is similar to Covox Speech Thing, but it works in stereo (it has some channel-switching logic). It was more popular in MOD players (e.g. ModPlay Pro, Inertia Player). As far as I know, it has never been sold commercially, but multiple schematics were released for DIY construction.
