The MAME emulation remaps OPLL registers to the OPL3; it doesn't do a very
good job it. :( It's not worth porting at all. It doesn't even emulate
volumes.
The OPL3 emulator is very good OTOH, which could be nice for OPL4 emulation
on machines without OPL3. At least, AFAIK OPL4 is an OPL3 with a wave-table.
