fully restored soundfont on the base OKI ML2870 from the old phone LG C1400/G5400/G7100 and PANTECH G200 and OLD Philips phones (favorite phones of childhood, and we thought it sounded like on the computer - Roland).
now sounds about 90% accurate
(For those who don't understand, I'll add here: this soundfont is a REPLICA of several others, similar in sound.)

YAMAHA SHS-10 + YM2413 (GM mapped)
by stgiga, NESMaster96, little-scale, Devan Wolf, drunkenjesus, plgDavidUploaded on Sep 21, 2023
I'm stgiga, and this is my merger of my fix of the NESMaster96 GM remap of little-scale and drunkenjesus's YM2413 SoundFont with the Devan Wolf GM remap of the OPLL-2 bank from the Yamaha SHS-10, utilizing plgDavid samples. Thus this, in essence, a 2xOPLL bank, because the OPLL and OPLL2 are the same chip just accessed differently. The SHS-10 just uses custom patches a lot. This is actually a neat duet.
Musescore General HQ Soundfont (.sf2 Converted)
by Frank Wen, Michael Cowgill, S. Christian CollinsUploaded on Jun 13, 2023 (and last updated on Jun 19, 2023)
The reason I published this here on Musical Artifacts is because it was originally an .sf3 file and .sf3's are compatible with such a small amount of things. The way I converted the thing was using Polyphone. I just loaded it, hit 'Save As...' and chose .sf2. It sounds just like the original with not much loss and I'm pretty happy with it. If you like the sound of the Musescore soundfont and want to use it with some other software (e.g. VLC Media Player). To summarize, I p...

A general MIDI soundfont with balanced instruments. I used General User GS for many of the sounds, and also I matched the volume of the other samples used to General User GS.---version 1.03: fixed a few bugs with drum kits

CalculatorSF GM

Ask and you shall receive: A GM SoundFont by me, stgiga, of those musical calculators that was turned into an incomplete and non-GM SoundFont by evnchn on Github, but now including a drumkit (the Controller Click from Marcel J. Therrien's Gamer's Orchestra to represent calculator keypresses), and SFX (Pencil from JS121's SFX, to fit the math theme.)

The (Fixed) JummBox SoundFont Fork (V11)
by Micasddsa4000, NPC, Zandro Reveille, TheFatMan, William B. Santos, little-scale, drunkenjesus, Retro Player, stgigaUploaded on Feb 27, 2023 (and last updated on Apr 04, 2024)
This libre SoundFont is a new fixed version of Micasddsa4000's Jummbox Soundfont,
I, stgiga, fixed the pitch, OPL2 samples, modulators, and mappings, and also added Zandro Reveille's OPL3 drums (TheFatMan is part of the equation, including OPL2 booster drums too) (also William B. Santos's YM2612 and Piconica (free basic waveform synth tool of sorts) drums were used to boost the range again, followed by little-scale's and drunkenjesus's OPLL drums, resulting in a drum rang...

Extra considerations:
BeepBox and JummBox are under The MIT License, and Zandro's OPL3 and OPL2 are under CC-BY-SA4, which is compatible with The MIT License (and GPLv3 as well, so you can use this SoundFont in anything GPL3-licensed. So yes, this bank is certifiably able to be a Linux package, even on distros like Trisquel that ONLY allow libre packages. Also, I have the bank on OpenGameArt for use in any games of the Liberated Pixel Cup variety, a game jam dedicated towards making FOSS games. This bank is also on other places besides this site, such as itch.io, OpenGameArt, IndieGameMusic, Archive.org, SourceForge, and others. And no, I didn't paywall the bank on ANY of the other sites it is on. I even point people to this site in the description to fulfill my CC-BY-SA4 obligations to attribute. I consider this SoundFont to be one of the best FOSS things I have done.) The William B. Santos stuff is Public Domain. OPLL stuff is libre. The Retro Player bank is under CC-BY 3.0.

Extra considerations:
The license for this SoundFont is various and valid as for any individual source (see "MatrixSF - instruments, licenses.txt").
You can use this sounds/instruments respecting the licenses or even create your own SoundFont from this with some modifications (fork) and publish it, but you must also indicate this in the SoundFont name (e.g. "MatrixSF (edited by Mark)", "MatrixSF Mark version"...), put the license/attribution file for the original creators and give the SoundFont for free.
The list of sources of all instruments and the corresponding licenses are ca. 99% correct, because I probably missed a few sounds due to testing from many sources. If any sound/instrument should not be in this SoundFont, please send mail at matrix36963@gmail.com, it will be removed/replaced.
General Game Boy Advance Soundfont 2.0
by BuskinCothurnUploaded on Aug 20, 2022 (and last updated on Sep 19, 2022)
After about 4 months of no updates to this soundfont I went back to highly improve it, as I wasn't too happy with it. Many samples were replaced with much more MIDI friendly and overall better ones and instruments were tweaked to reduce the release and make them more in line with other GM soundfonts.
