I think I fixed this issue but since I have difficulties in judging by myself I attached a test MAME. It supports only salamander and clones so don't use with other games in the driver.

Thank you Mamesick for the fix. Stereo and volumes are correct now :)

I compared the time for the first loop of music, MAME is 36.464 seconds and the original is 34.526 seconds. It's 5.6 % faster in the original.

Uhm. We need measurements from a PCB because clocking the M68000 to 10MHz music is perfect (or very very close...). I can also fix 03539 (only music speed I guess) but I have to check some things first.

Clocking the M68000 to 10MHz? Don't you mean clocking the Z80 to 10MHz? The Z80 is Salamander's sound CPU. When overclocked to 10MHz, the speed of the music is perfect, however, some notes in the music appear to come out wrong when the Z80 is overclocked that high. Why is that?
