The game Hook on the SNES has some awesome music using the SNES' sound chip.
I was just talking about this in the SNES/Genesis port comparison thread regarding Hook. Turtles in Time, Link to the Past, Super Mario World, and Chrono Trigger are just a few examples (there are many, many more) of games you can find with MSU-1 hacks that have the music replaced with CD quality audio. If you're curious, just search YouTube to find plenty of examples. I think that MSU-1 audio hacks are awesome, but I don't particularly care for a lot of them.

You can play MSU-1 hacked games in the bsnes or higan emulators, or on a real SNES/SFC using an FX Pak Pro (formally known as the Sd2snes). So think of it as the CD add-on for the SNES that we never got. It is capable of streaming CD quality audio as well as FMV. The YouTube video doesn't even do it justice, it sounds better in person.įor those that don't know, the MSU-1 is a theoretical enhancement chip made by byuu for the SNES. Some tracks had instrument channels that were very quiet/muted in the original version that I never noticed before, and are loud and clear in this uncompressed version! For example, there's a percussion part I never heard before in the track when you're talking to Cranky Kong (same track when you go into DK's tree house). The difference isn't immediately noticeable in some tracks, but if you A/B it then you'll realize that every track is a lot more clear.
Some other awesome fella then took these uncompressed audio files and created an MSU-1 hack for them. So the story goes, some awesome fella was somehow able to source the uncompressed audio files for DKC and restore them. Anapan brought this to my attention in the flash cart thread, but I wanted to also post it here because I think it's awesome!ĭonkey Kong Country Uncompressed Audio MSU-1 Hack: ĭownload links in the YouTube video description (click to expand).
