One thing to be aware of
when importing an MSU-1 game
is that early firmware versions
of the [SD2SNES][sd2snes] programmable cartridge
had a bug that caused MSU-1 music to play too quietly.
Skipping over [the full details][msu1vol],
the short version is this:
- If offered the choice between "boosted" or non-boosted audio,
you want the non-boosted version.
- If an MSU-1 mod for a commercial game offers
"emulator" and "hardware" versions of the patch file,
it means the audio tracks are already boosted.
- Some
[third](https://www.zeldix.net/t1265-#18320)
[parties](https://www.zeldix.net/t1339-#19818)
have created replacement, non-boosted audio tracks
for the most popular MSU-1 mods.
If the mod you want to play has a replacement pack,
use it with the "hardware" version of the patch.
- Even without access to non-boosted audio tracks,
it may be that the existing audio is only slightly boosted,
so try the "hardware" version first, for best quality.
- If the audio tracks are heavily boosted,
the "hardware" patch may sound terrible,
distorting and clipping,
in which case try the "emulator" patch.
