You can still find the early releases of TFM if you look hard enough.

There's the YM2151 simulator iPad app:

Then there's the Yamaha CX5M. It's old, unintuitive, and expensive nowadays. Plus All the software you'll need for it is rare and expensive. I believe the first run of them had YM2151 chips so they're the real deal if you want hardware that will give you that arcade YM2151 sound.

I just finished coding a primitive monophonic Sega Genesis YM2612 sequencer. I was ecstatic when I flashed it to my old Tototek flash cart and got it to work on real hardware (Genesis Model 1). Granted it's a work in progress as it's monophonic, VERY simple/limited, the instrument parameters have to be input in hex (see pic related), you can't correct something you input incorrectly, and the 1-tile letters/numbers are all but unreadable on an actual TV. I programmed in a monophonic rendition of the main part of NBA on NBC theme with it though. Hell yeah music out of a Sega Genesis! It did not work at all on the Nomad unfortunetly.
