If you want to use the manifest, see below for manifest instructions. Most people choose to use manifests because it allows them to keep using the SD2SNES/Snes9x/bsnes naming format, but manifests are also a constant annoyance. Higan can detect the MSU1 either through the use of a manifest file, or else through renaming all of the files in a specific manner. Place all of these files into the same directory and load the ROM, and you should hear the new MSU1 audio playing.įollow the same instructions as SD2SNES/Snes9x, but you will also need a manifest.xml file, except for the latest release of bsnes+, where manifests are no longer required. pcm files to also match the name of your ROM, followed by a dash and the track number, without any leading 0's. msu extension.īE SURE TO DISABLE HIDDEN FILE EXTENSIONS Rename this file to match the name of your ROM with the. If you don't have this file (as is often the case with audio-only MSU1 hacks), you can just create a blank file with the correct file name. This file might be named msu1.rom or else it will end with the. Instead, they rely on your files following a specific naming format in order to detect the presence of the MSU1. The SD2SNES and Snes9x do not use a manifest file to enable MSU1. Now that you have a patched ROM, the next step depends on what emulator you are using.
Snes9x msu1 Patch#
At this point, the audio won't be working, but it's good to check that the patch applied successfully and that the game still runs, instead of resulting in a black screen or a crash, especially if your patch was in the.
Now that the patch is applied, you can test that the patch was successful by loading the patched ROM in your emulator of choice. You can apply this patch to your ROM file using Floating IPS (LttP Randomizer users, skip this step, the patch is already applied by the Randomizer website). Once you have extracted the files, you should have a patch file, either. zip/.7z/.rar file, which you'll need to extract. msu1 extension, see the section below on using Mercurial Magic. If you downloaded one large file named with a. If the original audio source was low quality, such as a bad YouTube rip or low-bitrate MP3 file, then the MSU1 is only going to sound as good as the actual audio file. The MSU1 is only playing the audio files that it is given. Also, it's possible that the audio files are simply very poor quality, sounding terribly compressed or otherwise just "bad". If you're wondering why this happened, I wrote up an explanation of the problem here. Try looking here or here for properly normalized audio tracks. If the audio files are way too loud and sound distorted, the files may have been boosted, and you need to find audio files that are properly normalized. If you ARE experiencing sound problems, there are a couple of potential causes. Unless you're talking about actual audio problems with the files you downloaded, see above.

See below for a full explanation of these files.īut. It also may or may not require a manifest file, depending on what emulator you are using.
Playing an MSU1 game requires several files, including a patch file, a data ROM, and several PCM audio files. They are not supported by ZSNES, old Snes9x forks such as Snes9x-2010 or Snes9x-next, or by the Super Everdrive flash cart. MSU1 ROM hacks are supported in higan, bsnes, Snes9x v1.55, and the SD2SNES flash cart. This allows ROM hacks to replace the background music of games with high quality versions, and even play full-motion videos.
This chip enables playback of CD-quality (44.1kHz, 16-bit) audio, as well as addressing up to 4GB of data, far more than a typical SNES cartridge could ever hold. The MSU-1 is a custom coprocessor much like the DSP chips used in games like Super Mario Kart or Pilotwings, designed by byuu, the author of bsnes and higan. Now, with Karkat accepting MSU1 into the aLttP Randomizer, I suspect I'm going to be answering a lot of these questions on Discord repeatedly, so it's time to sit down and write. This is a guide I've been wanting to write for awhile now, but haven't gotten around to actually doing it.
