Napple Tale music pack for A Link to the Past

The MSU-1 is a co-processor that allows SNES games to play CD-quality music. Think of it as similar to the Super FX chip, except for the difference that it never physically existed.

But it's built into emulators and hardware cartridges like the SD2SNES, and A Link to the Past Randomizer will automatically patch in support for it!

With this MSU-1 pack, you can replace the music in ALttP with thematically appropriate music from Napple Tale. Instructions (for using it with an emulator) and a track list are below.

Napple Tale MSU-1 pack
Music by Yoko Kanno

Released: October 20, 2020
(just a day late for the 20th anniversary of Napple Tale!)


== Using this pack ==

Put your ALttP ROM in this folder. Name it "napple.sfc". Run it with Snes9X
1.60 or later, or a current version of bsnes.

If you see directions telling you to disable music in the randomizer settings,
those directions are old and won't work. Music should be _enabled_.
