I only recently discovered this too. Since most 80s synths were built mostly out of &amp;#x27;off the shelf&amp;#x27; components, it&amp;#x27;s not too difficult to build a MAME driver which is capable of running the synth&amp;#x27;s firmware. The actual sound generation is another story though.&lt;p&gt;I wrote a MAME driver for the Yamaha DX9 while working on this project: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;ajxs&amp;#x2F;yamaha_dx97&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;ajxs&amp;#x2F;yamaha_dx97&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wrote a little bit about the project here in case anyone is interested: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;ajxs.me&amp;#x2F;blog&amp;#x2F;Hacking_the_Yamaha_DX9_To_Turn_It_Into_a_DX7.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;ajxs.me&amp;#x2F;blog&amp;#x2F;Hacking_the_Yamaha_DX9_To_Turn_It_Into_...&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
