Lordmonkus Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Just a heads up, Smokemonster has been updating a lot of the MSU packs and uploading them to his Google drive. He has been fixing audio issues with some of the older versions that had boosted audio levels because of a bug in the SD2Snes firmware which caused audio levels to be too low. This boosted audio in turn caused a lot of audio clipping on the updated firmware and emulators. You can get the patch + audio files at the link above if you prefer to do that or don't have Smokemonsters Google drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmoney Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Some of the games that has the MSU-1 enhancement has multiple vesions and was wondering what you guys were doing about that? Were you just picking the version you liked the best or is there a best of list out there because I don't really want multiple versions of the same game with MSU-1. I have also been going back and forth what to call the platform in BigBox and curious what everyone else called it? I was going back between (Super Nintendo MSU-1),(SNES CD),(Super Nintendo CD) and etc. Its definitely an exciting time with some of our favorite games getting these audio enhancements.

Lordmonkus Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I've just been picking the ones that I liked and I called my platform Super Nintendo (MSU-1). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I've been working long hours at work and finally getting time to catch up on posts. Working on video snaps for these and I hope to have them finished up early next week. If anything new gets released post to let me know. I might be MIA all weekend due to RL and work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I think you're good for a little while on new games unless something pops up unexpectedly. Demon's Crest looks to be in the works but no clue on when it will be done and released. The audio tracks seem to be ready getting worked on but the rom hack itself needs to be done and that's the time consuming part. Definitely looking forward to this one because this game is awesome. https://www.zeldix.net/t1510-pcm-pack-demon-s-crest-demon-s-blazon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klopjero Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I'm quite excited to hear what they come up with, the music of demon's crest was already hauntingly beautiful one of my favorite games in that short Gargoyle's quest series.

Lordmonkus Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 There's some Soundcloud tracks at the link above which look to be a preview of what they are going to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I have never messed game hacks or patches. Just watched a few videos on the MSU-1 stuff. The audio difference is amazing. Looks like I have something new to learn about then get to uploading. Time to hit some tutorials. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 There are completely done packages but of course I cannot link to where they are but they on the forums of a certain paradise and the user Smokemonster uploads them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 @lordmonkus Thanks. I am setup with that spot so I will check it out. The couple videos I watched showed how to apply the patches if needed. So it was cool to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Some of the patches are very straight forward but occasionally you get one where the rom has to be expanded to a larger size first. Not exactly difficult but something to check the instructions for if you need to do that or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 The one video I watched did expand on that so looks like I am headed in the right learning direction. Thanks for the tips. When I get home tonight going work on getting these downloaded and added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Yeah it's definitely easier to go with Smokemonsters pre-done packs and then if needed do your own patching if there's one that he hasn't done and uploaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Smokemonster just did a tutorial video on patching MSU-1 games for anyone interested in learning how to do it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Super Metroid Project Base http://begrimed.com/pb.php has been MSU'd now and would be nice to have a box art for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffman81 Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 Sorry I've been MIA for a bit. Busy dealing with RL stuff but wanted to post and let you guys know I'll be uploading the video snaps to the EmuMovies FTP and probably here as well tomorrow.

Hadn't planned on doing hacks but I suppose I could whip something up since technically all MSU1 games are "hacks" I had originally planned to just stick to the core games/official releases as some of these hacks may be a bit difficult to find art for... will look into it or if someone wants my template they are more then welcome to make their own covers for these games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't know how many rom hacks will get the MSU-1 treatment. The best boxart I could use for now was this one. It's ok but not exactly the best. I wish I could find a good flat view copy of this one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 @Riffman81 Thanks to you and @Lordmonkus I have about 20 MSU1 games in my new platform. Definitley looking forward to the video snaps. I had not really dug into this stuff before this thread. If you do not mind sharing the templates I would love them. I had to mock up a couple for a few games I added outside of what you had in your original file set. I only made the standard box art since it was simplest to modify. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to mock up a couple for a few games I added outside of what you had in your original file set. I only made the standard box art since it was simplest to modify. Video Snaps are now uploaded to my folder on the EmuMovies FTP: Upload Here>Video Snap Submissions>Riffman81>Nintendo SNES (MSU1). 40 total and all other artwork is there as well. I couldn't get Secret of Evermore working properly and the download I had for it was missing quite a few tracks/.pcm files so I'm going to wait for a final release and I'll update the snaps. Box art and logos for that game are there though. Keep in mind I didn't bother with hacks, just the original releases. I may get to doing covers/videos for hacks at a later date but real life and work are taking up so much of my time right now that it's become difficult to find the time to get things done. I still have several other projects on hold due to having very little time I may upload the snaps here as well but if you have FTP access feel free to go ahead and grab them. I messaged Circo about giving MSU1 it's own category separate from standard SNES games so we'll see what happens. @Retro808 templates I uses for this set are below. You'll have to resize them to match the covers already made after you make your covers and finalize. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
