Searching for Sega Genesis Sounds

I'm looking for sega genesis sounds, specifically sonic 1, 2, 3, 3&k 

 

I have searched and searched and I'm kind of frustrated because I can't seem to get anything to work on garageband, because that's the only program I have at the moment.

 

I have found the Ultimate Sega Genesis Soundfont but garageband wont read all the different instruments in the .sf2 file, I need to split the instruments to separate files, but after trying that, they would have no sound.

 

I have searched forums and nothing really helpful either, maybe now that it's the end of 2015 something has changed...? I hope so!

 

If you know something please share it!

Have you tried VOPM?  It's a free synth modeled after the Yamaha YM2151 which sounds extremely close to the YM2612 sound chip that was used in the Sega Genesis.

There's also a link to a ton of Genesis presets for VOPM here: http://truechiptilldeath.com/blog/2010/05/04/opm-patches-out-of-most-genesis-games/

Yes but I can't get it to work on garageband :/

I don't know if I'm allowed to mention this, but there's always The Sounds Resource. I found the Sonic SFX you're looking for there.  ;-)

My mistake, I don't want the actual "game sound effects" but rather the music sounds, so I can compose music in sega genesis style
