Secret of Evermore: 2-Player + MSU-1?

Hi,

I just want to check whether this will work. But I'd like to take Secret of Evermore (USA).sfc, apply a header with TUSH, and then hack it using this 2-player patch:
https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/24/

Then I'll remove the header with TUSH, and apply the MSU-1 patch:

Are these patches compatible if they are applied via these steps?

Thanks.

Sorry to revive an old topic, but looking for assistance with Secret of Evermore 2 player.

I have the USA ROM, and the IPS 2 player patch. I used Lunar IPS to try to patch it. I start the game, it's just a black screen and retroarch crashes. The regular Secret of Evermore works fine.

I thought maybe the ROM had a header or something so I opened SNES Utility and tried to remove the header, but "Remove header" is greyed out. Does that mean it doesn't have a header?

What should I try?

Try attached patch, it is the merged 2 player and msu1 patch. Don't apply any other patch.

You need the correct rom (USA SOE, no header).

It is bps format, so you also need flips:

The advantage of bps is that you get an error if trying to patch the wrong rom.

Thank you so much! The game plays. It doesn't have any music though. In the read me it says:

"to have msu1 music rename the patched rom into soe_msu.sfc and copy the soe_msu.msu and the soe_msu-*.pcm into the same folder."

So I can rename the patched rom easily enough. But I don't know what it means by "copy the soe_msu.msu and the soe_msu-*.pcm into the same folder."

You see, the 2player patch isn't my work and I only made it compatible with msu1. The patch uses a hard mute, so if you want to play without msu, simply apply the romhacking patch only.

If you apply this merged patch you need a pcm set, e.g.,

as for the soe_msu.msu, just make a new txt file and rename it into soe_msu.msu
I attached one into above patch file if you cannot create one yourself (just redownload)

Just so I'm understanding correctly, the patch uses a hard mute, so there's no way to just play the regular game with the regular music? Or I have to use this patch file with the MSU that you provided? Just trying to wrap my head around all this, I'm not even sure what MSU is, or why people would want to mute the game's music.


Thank you for all your help and information.

Edit: I was able to get it working! Thank you so much for your help!

If you don't want to play with msu1, simply apply the romhacking net:

Uh, what shall I say... this complete subforum is about msu1
