Pico-8 SF
by Packbat & BikibirdUploaded on Oct 27, 2023
This soundfont was made to specifically emulate the accuracy and limitations of the Pico-8, using the most common samples from a wide variety of fanmade games and projects.
It seems to be GM Compatible, but I might be wrong.

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 ran...

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.

Pack of various waveforms from well known Gameboy games and some ones I made myself.

My NES Soundfont
by Me, Retro PlayerUploaded on Jul 19, 2022 (and last updated on Jul 21, 2022)
This is my version of an NES Soundfont. There is 32 samples, 21 instruments, and 117 presets. (including a drumkit) If you would like to use this in SRB2, copy the soundfont to a folder, and then type the folder/filename (ex. sf2/NES.sf2) in the fluidsynth soundfont box. This was all made using JummBox and Polyphone. The ZIP also includes all the samples. (Although i copied the drums from my older NES Soundfont)

182 SoundFonts I got from random places, including this site. I made 2 of them. I don't know who made the other ones. It's about 4.20 GB (not trying to be funny, that's how big it is) when unzipped. I renamed them so they're easier to find.
