Super Metroid: Super Metroid MSU-1

This patch adds support for CD quality audio to Super Metroid 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. It uses Blake Robinson's reorchetration http://syntheticorchestra.com/

Super Metroid MSU-1 hack
Version 1.0
by DarkShock

This hack adds CD quality audio to Super Metroid using the MSU-1 chip invented by byuu.

The hack is made for the US/JP 1.0 version of the game. Tested on SD2SNES, bsnes075 and higan 094.

The patched ROM needs to be named supermetroid_msu1.sfc.

Note they are two IPS patches:
- supermetroid_msu1_emulator.ips is the one to use for proper volume in emulators.
- supermetroid_msu1.ips for SD2SNES

Music pack is available at: http://www.mediafire.com/download/euj8ewjv59d2022/SuperMetroidMSU1_Music.7z

===============
= Using higan =
===============
1. Patch the ROM
2. Launch it using higan
3. Go to %USERPROFILE%\Emulation\Super Famicom\mmx_msu1.sfc in Windows Explorer.
4. Copy manifest.bml and the .pcm file there

Drop the ROM file, supermetroid_msu1.msu and the .pcm files in any folder. (I really suggest creating a folder)
