The Genesis' synth had 6 channels, JJ1 supports at least 6 channels as Robo4900 showed.

Original songs.
VGMTool can decompress those (.vgz to .vgm).

Then I used this to convert them to MIDI; probably there is a better converter floating around somewhere.

The resulting file has completely wacky tuning/timing, because that's what the Genesis had. At that point I recommend just re-tracking the whole song using the MIDI file as a guide - with the songs around 1 minute and with only 6 channels this really isn't too bad.
That said I don't volunteer for it quite yet, there's some other work I really need to finish.
