MEGA MAN X2: Mega Man X2 MSU-1 Super Nintendo

This patch adds support for CD quality audio to Mega Man X2 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.

Mega Man X2 MSU-1
Version 1.0
by DarkShock and Exort

This hack adds CD quality audio to Mega Man X2 using the MSU-1 chip invented by byuu.
The hack has been tested on SD2SNES, bsnes-plus and higan 094. The patched ROM needs to be named mmx2_msu1.sfc.

Note they are two IPS patches:
- mmx2_msu1_emulator.ips is the one to use for proper volume in emulators.
- mmx2_msu1.ips is for the SD2SNES

The music pack can be found here:
