OpenBOR could greatly be improved if it had access to native YM2610 hardware
Actually, that chip is probably great enough to play a bunch of MIDI music too.
You could also use the YM3812 which is OPL2, and then you can play most PC game MIDIs, would greatly benefit Wolf3D, Doom and other ports. ScummVM could use it too, basically any MIDI application could use it I guess!

The C64 has that SFX expander which has a YM3526 (OPL) that you can change for a 3812 (they are very compatible) and then it's as easy as sending the right register values to the right memory address. Someone made this for that hack:

4mat made a SID+YM3526 driver as well:
