I grew up on AdLibs and Soundblasters and I love FM synthesis. For a while I thought that I had just imprinted on the sound signature of the OPL3 chip. Now after crises and tragedies I see the core truth at the inside of reality: FM synthesis is just so good.
The OPL3 modulates frequencies really well!
Here’s the Transport Tycoon soundtrack as performed by an OPL3 chip. This is objectively the original-original soundtrack. Because this is what I grew up on.

(It’s cool how it was captured through the S/PDIF port of a SoundBlaster AWE32. It’s a nice little turn of commodity entertainment device market events that gave us that possibility, isn’t it?)
- Gormo 2y agoThere are open-source libraries like AdPlug (https://adplug.github.io/ https://adplug.github.io/) that offer really good OPL3 emulation. If you have the MIDI assets from the original game, it might be possible to get the original AdLib soundtrack working with OpenTTD!
