Ok, 1 little error.
Usually on the boss in level 6:
play track 11, next track 12 and finally track 13. That's perfect if you no die.

But, if you continue the game in the second part of level 6 or final boss,
play track 11, next track 13 and finally track 13.  (need fix it)
Now i send 2 save state for sa-1 and normal. All in version 3
First savestate is in game normal, second savestate in same gameplay whit 1 continue.

The version 4 you just made it worse  dont' hit me.
I hope you can fix it.
Sorry if I offended you, I just thought it was perfect.
Regards

You realize this is just a game, right? No need to be mad over a game.

Ok this out of the way, follow these instructions...

-- redacted request for save state, no longer needed --


UPDATE: I had a strong feeling two things were going to happen, either you never respond to my request for a save state or Conn hijack the post with suggestions, . Neither of which bother me at all. I mean no disrespect. I am just merely stating opinions of my thought process. So don't take personally.
I had some spare time and looked into it. Anyway, try this v4 patch.
-- patch moved to the top --
If it works to your liking, I will update both versions of Contra at the top.

If it works to your liking, I will update both versions of Contra at the top.

UPDATE 2: I tested a couple times and decided to just update v4 to the top. The link remains the same.

Sorry, is worse than before, update the previous message whit savestate.

Conn hijack the post with suggestions

Uh... I don't do anything, I keep myself out, unless you'd ask me to bring myself in

I will check the BPS files again later today. Which patch are you using? If using SA1 patch, you must delete the SRM file it creates on emu or flash cart. Then reload the game. Failure to do so makes game not behave correctly.

I know Conn. Consider this my way of poking a little fun at your friendly nature to assist at times.

Sure
If you're lost just get back at me at discord, without the source code I can't do anything anyways

@Conn I fixed it. It was a stupid mistake on my part for being in a hurry. I had to adjust the code to clear a flag that distinguishes between track 12 and 13 after a continue is performed. V5 should be it.

@blade133bo This should be it, blade. Please make sure you...
#1 clear browser cache
#2 re-download patch (linked at the top), apply on clean rom
#3 and remember to delete the old SRM file.

--> if you still have issues, tell me which patch you are using (non-SA1 or SA1). Thanks.

Nice I hope that was the last issue with this patch... but:

Test both versions whit clean rom after delete all, and seems to work correctly.
Thank you for your hard work.
I hope this is the ultimate version, y hope...

Indeed. How many times have we hoped for an end to this misery we put ourselves through,

Hello...

I didn't find the MSU1 support file,
can i use another game?
Thanks!

sure, just make a new empty text fil and rename it to c3sa1-msu1.msu or the name of your pcm files, depends on whether you use the batch file that renames the pcm.

Don't forget to rename the extension txt into msu).

Thank you so much!!!

No matter what I do, this doesn't work for my ROM. I have the correct ROM, patched it with both restoration and SA1 and they both worked, but the MSU1 patch doesn't work. I named it correctly, and it's a .sfc file. What should I do?

Try different roms from different sources, sometimes this is the problem.

For me it works.
- Apply ContraIIIMsu1,Sa1-English-v5.bps on Contra III - The Alien Wars (U) [!].smc
- Rename the output rom ContraIIIMsu1,Sa1-English-v5.smc into c3sa1-msu1.smc (if c3sa1-msu1-x.pcm are the names of your pcm files)

Make a new textfile, rename newtextfile.txt into c3sa1-msu1.msu

That doesn't work. It just says "This patch is not intended for this ROM". Doesn't matter what type of ROM, they all do this

Wait a second, are all 3 patches included in one? Being the MSU1, the Restoration and the SA1? That could be why it isn't working for me, I didn't know I might have only needed one patch for all 3

Yup, there are two patches. Both contain merged patches in one BPS file. One is if you want the original non-SA1 accelerated ROM with restoration patch and MSU-1 enabled. The second is if you want Restoration+SA1 acceleration with MSU-1 enabled. You do one or the other, but not both. Follow the readme.md text file instructions carefully and you will be good. The included readme.md file explains all of this.

@TheMasonGamer I will send you another video via PM in case the readme.md is complicated to follow.

EDIT: In the video, I meant to pick Restoration+SA1+MSU-1 patch but chose the other. The process in the video is still the same regardless of what BPS patch you want to use.

Hey hey, PepilloPeV. Thank you for your hard work. Unfortunately, I have bad news. The mediafire link for your PCM set is currently down.

Thank you, Conn.

Hello, the link is offline.
The Mega.nz file got deleted too.

I put it here, let's see for how long
