Allright ! Sorry I didn't notice and thank you both for your help, it's my first time with MSU games and I'm not that comfortable with manipulating these files.
Basically I renamed the patched Chrono Trigger+ rom as "chrono_msu.msu" with having along music files in the same folder and that seem to work as intended. Is it done right that way ?

That's not right, the rom should have an .sfc extension.

OK. Granted there is MSU support in the "Plus" patch, how should I do then to bind the pcm music tracks ? I don't really get how this should be done.

Folder structure is the same as any other MSU patched game.
If your rom is named "chrono_msu.sfc", it should be like this:
chrono_msu.sfc [patched rom]
chrono_msu.msu [empty file]
chrono_msu-1.pcm
chrono_msu-2.pcm
etc.

Allright thank you, I'll do it that way !

I am going to be redoing the first page post, make it look more organized, clean up patch links, and actually add a working patch that is compatible with the FMV intro soon. Before I make changes, I am going to archive how it looks now just in case I make a mistake I can go back and fix it.




Patch:

Native Chrono Trigger Patch (without FMV) by Qwertymodo:

Code:

--> LINK BROKEN 01/01/22 <--
https://cloud.home.qwertymodo.com/index.php/s/O7VWzmB0dW3TvlE/download

Not only does this hack replace all of the in-game music with high quality orchestrated versions, it also supports all of the anime cutscenes from the PSX version.  Work is still ongoing to improve the video quality, as well as to fix any remaining bugs in the audio code, but a final release should be available eventually.

Ok, we now have FMV intro video support as shown on the updated first post. I also cleaned up how it looks and replaced broken links. Hope you all enjoy.

Nice work from all contributors. I was wondering in JUD6MENT's FMV video, it doesn't have the beta in the intro. I redownloaded Quertymodo's patch and that one has the beta in the intro. Are you using the Quertymodo patch or a different one?

On the first post, download the one that has fmv intro. I am going to go double check i didn't make a mistake. You will have to re-patch a new rom

It is the right one. It should be named chrono_msu1 instead of ct_msu1 (I am going to fix that), but download this one, make a new patched rom using this one. Use the msu file in this one. Add the PCM-100 to your folder. Also, for the record, I just made a preview showcase, I didn't make the FMV video.
