Do these games use the YM2151 chip?

I'm making a list of impressive YM2151-based music and I only have a few games left to check out (except for obscure X68000 games and fan remixes). I know TMNT, Thunder Cross 1-2, TMNT and Quarth use it, and some of the others do according to this site, but what about the rest? Also, is there a site that documents arcade sound chips?

Edit: Used Mame and these are my findings:

YM2151: Gradius III, M.I.A., Punk Shot, Devastators, Super Contra
YM3812: S.P.Y.
Samples only?: The Main Event

Certain Mame frontends let you display and filter chips that are used by games. There are a few hundred games using that chip according to what I get from my old Mame Plus.

This offers an idea how many there are, and that includes a bit X68000 stuff:

vgmrips.net/packs/chip/ym2151



If you know some of the games, you can of course check system16 for the hardware, finding more games:

Atari - Paperboy
Capcom CPS1
Data East - Dark Seal
Irem - Gunforce
Sega- Shinobi

etc.

vgmrips is a great resource, but it's missing these games I'm wondering about.

Gradius III does sound like it's YM2151-based when listening to it, and so does Super C. I guess I'll try the mame route.
