Chrono Trigger MSU-1 Version 1.1 by DarkShock This hack adds CD quality audio to Chrono Trigger using the MSU-1 chip invented by byuu. The hack has been tested on bsnes-plus v073+1, higan 096 and SD2SNES. BSNES 070, 075 is NOT RECOMMENDED, use bsnes-plus v073. For those playing on SD2SNES, you need to exit to menu using L+R+Select+X shortcut in order to save your game. Note they are two patches - chrono_msu1.ips for emulators prior to higan v096 and SD2SNES without resume support - chrono_msu1_resume.ips for higan v096 and up and SD2SNES with resume support If you hate the fact that dungeon music restarts at the beginning with no-resume patch, delete chrono_msu1-69.pcm. ================ = Installation = ================ 1. Buy Chrono Symphony album in FLAC format (http://www.thechronosymphony.com/). Extract them all to a folder. 2. Run make_music_pack.bat to create the music_pack 3. Create a copy of your original ROM named chrono_msu1.sfc 3. Patch the ROM using Lunar IPS or Floating IPS (http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=viewthread&t=78938) Please support the original author of the album. I known some sites will host the complete music pack in PCM format, I do not endorse them at all. Original ROM specs: CHRONO TRIGGER U.S.A. 4194304 Bytes (32.0000 Mb) Interleaved/Swapped: No Backup unit/emulator header: No Version: 1.0 Checksum: Ok, 0x788c (calculated) == 0x788c (internal) Inverse checksum: Ok, 0x8773 (calculated) == 0x8773 (internal) Checksum (CRC32): 0x2d206bf7 =============== = Using higan = =============== 3. Launch it using higan 4. Go to %USERPROFILE%\Emulation\Super Famicom\chrono_msu1.sfc in Windows Explorer. 5. Rename program.rom to chrono_msu1.sfc 6. Copy manifest.bml and the .pcm file there 7. Launch the game ==================== = Using on SD2SNES = ==================== Drop the ROM file, chrono_msu1.msu and the .pcm files in any folder. (I really suggest creating a folder) Launch the game and voilą, enjoy ! =========== = Credits = =========== * DarkShock - ASM hacking & coding, music editing * Blake Robinson - Music reorchestration Special Thanks: * Geiger - Chrono Trigger documentation * zarradeth - Chrono Trigger music engine documentation ============= = Compiling = ============= Source is availabe on GitHub: https://github.com/mlarouche/ChronoTrigger-MSU1 To compile the hack you need * bass v14 (https://web.archive.org/web/20140710190910/http://byuu.org/files/bass_v14.tar.xz) * flac (https://xiph.org/flac/download.html) * sox (http://sox.sourceforge.net/) * wav2msu (https://github.com/mlarouche/wav2msu) To distribute the hack you need * uCON64 (http://ucon64.sourceforge.net/) * 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) create_pcm.bat create the .pcm from the WAV files decode_flac.bat decode the FLAC from the Chrono Symphony album edit_audio.bat edit the audio using SoX distribute.bat distribute the patch make_music_pack.bat calls required bats for creating the music pack. make.bat assemble the patch make_all.bat does everything
