Found right in the ROM text. There are two main variations, and they sometimes contains other pieces of ROM text next to or before this piece of text. Besides the Ver Sx driver, this one is one of the most common sound drivers used.
Opus has a way of handling the sound driver by using something called sndmnger, which basically handles commands and sends them over to DBOOT, which is in a separate code block of its own.

Code comparisons have not quite been performed for any differences between the sound drivers with different pieces of ROM text... yet. However, there is a key difference between variations 1-2 and variations 3-6. Variations 3-6 have the ROM text right in the SPC files, while variations 1-2 don't.

Malibu SNES Sound Driver


  • Firearm

Found right in the ROM text. The ROM text also goes directly to the SPC file whenever you dump a SPC of any of these games. Considering it's by Tim Follin and Mike Follin, I'm guessing that the sound driver was never used in an officially released game.

Michel Winogradoff


  • Best of the Best: Championship Karate
  • International Tennis Tour
  • Winter Extreme Skiing & Snowboarding

This is based off of the musical data, which is real MIDI.

Motivetime


  • Adventures of Dr. Franken (1993)
  • Dirt Racer (1994)
  • Dragon's Lair/Dragon's Magic (1992)
  • Micro Machines (1994)
  • Power Slide (1993)
These have the ROM text
(C) MOTIVETIME 199x by Richard Frankish

The ROM text also goes directly to the SPC file whenever you dump a SPC of any of these games.

Probe (earlier)


  • ACME Animation Factory
  • Alien 3
  • Beauty and the Beast
  • Bram Stoker's Dracula

Eastridge Technology/Nick Eastridge


  • Chessmaster

  • Miracle Piano Teaching System
  • Paperboy 2

  • The Terminator
  • Wayne's World

All of the above have A9 56 8D 40 21 in the ROM (or 8F 40 21 00 instead of 8D 40 21). Then they have a variable that is manually updated on cue by being incremented by a certain amount, and then gets sent over to $2140. The games that do have staff rolls mostly credit Peter Stone as a composer.

Probe (later)


  • F1 World Championship Edition
  • FIFA Soccer '96
  • Kawasaki Superbike Challenge
These have the ROM text
(C)Probe

  • Mortal Kombat 3/Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
  • Ren and Stimpy Time Warp
  • Super Star Wars - Return of the Jedi
Contains the ROM text
SNDDRVR REN AND STIMPY
There isn't a game before Ren and Stimpy to my knowledge that has any ROM text like that. Mortal Kombat 3 gets away without having Ren and Stimpy in the ROM text by instead saying
MK3  HI MOM

  • Tetris & Dr. Mario (S1.20)

Found right in the ROM text. The ROM text also goes directly to the SPC file whenever you dump a SPC of any of these games. I actually think this is the official Nintendo Sound driver, just because of how wide of a variety of games they are used in.
