Mega Man X MSU-1 hack
Version 0.9 (Beta)
by DarkShock

This hack adds CD quality audio to Mega Man X using the MSU-1 chip invented by byuu.

The hack is made for the 1.1 version of the game. Tested on SD2SNES, higan 094. BSNES 075 still have issues (probably a wrong setting in the xml file).

The patched ROM needs to be named mmx_msu1.sfc.

===============
= 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
5. Run the game

===============
= Using BSNES =
===============
NOTE: The patch still have issues with BSNES.

Just patch the ROM and launch the game. The pcm file needs to be in the same folder.

====================
= Using on SD2SNES =
====================
Drop the ROM file, mmx_msu1.msu and the .pcm files in any folder. (I really suggest creating a folder)
Launch the game and voilà, enjoy !
