MEGA MAN X2: Mega Man X2 MSU-1 is a fan-made enhancement for the Super Nintendo version of Mega Man X2 that incorporates CD-quality audio through the MSU-1 chip. Developed by DarkShock and Exort, this patch is compatible with various emulators and the SD2SNES flashcart. It allows users to experience an orchestral soundtrack while maintaining the option to use the original music if the MSU-1 chip is unavailable.
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
