Mega Man 7: Mega Man 7 MSU-1

This patch adds support for CD quality audio to Megaman 7 and Rockman 7 using MSU-1 chip invented by byuu. So far, it is only supported and tested on bsnes, higan and the SD2SNES flashcart.

If the MSU-1 is not detected, the patch plays the original music, thus the patch works on all emulators (but it is less fun to listen to).

The link to the audio pack is included in the README file. The music reorchestration is by Krzysztof Slowikowski.

Megaman/Rockman 7 MSU-1
Version 1.0
by DarkShock

This hack adds CD quality audio to Megaman 7 and Rockman 7 using the MSU-1 chip invented by byuu. It also works with the English translation of Rockman 7
The hack has been tested on SD2SNES, bsnes-plus 073.1b and higan 094.
The patched ROM needs to be named megaman7_msu1.sfc.

Note that there's no emulator patch because the volume has been normalized to work on both emulators and SD2SNES (using +12 dBFS settings for the MSU-1 volume on Rev. F boards).
