Ever watching me play Link to the Past Randomizer and wonder what music you just heard? This is the place to find all the MSU-1 packs that I use when I play the game! Wait, what’s an MSU-1 pack, you ask? It’s a set of uncompressed audio tracks that can be used in place of the normal game music for a SNES game. It uses a coprocessor that was developed by byuu (RIP) called the MSU-1 in approximately 2010. Basically answers the questions “What would have happened if the Nintendo & Sony deal not fall through?” It allows for high quality audio & full motion video on the SNES.
If you’re interested in more than just the MSU packs that I use for Link to the Past (Randomizer), check out the MSU Studio at http://msu.studio or the massive spreadsheet at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XRkR4Xy6S24UzYkYBAOv-VYWPKZIoUKgX04RbjF128Q/
