Default Playing MIDIs with Win98's original SB16 OPL3 sound card

I keep running into dead ends here. I have a modern i7 machine with
Windows XP and Microsoft's GS Wavetable SW for MIDI which sounds
different than the one I remember in Win95/98 when I used Voyetra
AudioStation to mess with MIDIs.

I tried Virtualbox which doesn't simulate the old OPL3 MIDI device, I
tried Microsoft's VirtualPC 2007 which simulates it horribly to the
point that it's unlistenable.

I was hoping you guys could help me out.

supposed to sound like.

Have you considered buying some midi-specific hardware?
