What was the last build of DOS MAME to support sound cards with OPL2/OPL3 FM chips?
I've just set up an old computer my parents bought 11 years ago for a little emulation using one of the old versions of MAME with support for sound cards containing a Yamaha YM3812(OPL2) or YMF262(OPL3). In those old builds, if a game has a YM3812 or YMF262 on the original board, you can use the real chip(or a clone, if you're dumb enough to do that) on your sound card to get authentic OPL2 and OPL3 FM Synthesis. I've set up MS-DOS v6.22 on said computer, installed a SoundBlaster Pro 2.0 sound card(this uses a YMF262) and have set up MAME v0.36 on the computer. I will be using this computer in a future arcade cabinet if a game has a YM3812 or YMF262 on the original board.
However, I did find a game which is emulated in MAME v0.36, however, it's missing many notes in the FM Synthesis: Raiden. And this is the reason why I'm asking which version of MAME for DOS still has support for sound cards with a YM3812 or YMF262. If anyone knows, would you kindly tell me what version of MAME for DOS that would be and where I can find that build(IT MUST WORK WITH MS-DOS V6.22!)?
