Mega Man X3 MSU-1 hack
Version 1.0
by DarkShock

This hack adds CD quality audio to Mega Man X3 using the MSU-1 chip invented by byuu.
The hack has been tested on SD2SNES and higan 094. The patched ROM needs to be named mmx3_msu1.sfc.

Note they are two IPS patches:
- mmx3_msu1_emulator.ips is the one to use for proper volume in emulators.
- mmx3_msu1.ips is for the SD2SNES

===============
= Using higan =
===============
1. Patch the ROM
2. Launch it using higan
3. Go to %USERPROFILE%\Emulation\Super Famicom\mmx3_msu1.sfc in Windows Explorer.
4. Copy manifest.bml and the .pcm file there
5. Run the game

====================
= Using on SD2SNES =
====================
Drop the ROM file, mmx3_msu1.msu and the .pcm files in any folder. (I really suggest creating a folder)
Launch the game and voilà, enjoy !

The music is an edited version of the PS1/Saturn music for looping and volume boosting.
