Yes, I have downloaded translations and hacks for over fifteen years and and I know how it works, usually when a patch does not work in a rom correctly, I get another from a different site or even add or remove the header with SNEStuff, usually works out.
But in this case all the roms without header presented flaws in the soundtracks while the roms with header has perfect sound but with black screen starting from the first stage. That rare case, I'll keep trying here.

Did you re-download the patch? Just a guess, I'm wondering if you have an earlier build of the IPS/BPS files contained in the zip file you downloaded. If the fresh download does fix the issue, then I will know the IPS/BPS patch files that you were using were tainted.
No offense, only saying this because, Conn said he applied the IPS/BPS patch on a clean rom and had no issues with Snes9x. Just, humor me, and do this. If the issue persists, I can remake the IPS/BPS patches from the ASM that I know works (just tested on Snes9x with no issues).
As a reminder, I coded this patch with a non-header ROM template. I'm trying to help. So, please, do not take offense. Your last comment sounded kind of snippy:
It is not my intention to make anyone angry. I'm just trying to help, that is all. No hard feelings.

Oppsss...
It was not my intention to respond that way, I'm sorry for the misplaced words. in fact much to the contrary I would like to thank for all the attention given to my questions, Ok?
And as I said before I'll keep trying here.

I sent you a version via pm that works for me. Such stuff are usually "stupid things", like header or you used the Europe version or such. Let us know whether it works 
As said the patch works on both Pev's and my side, so I'd guess the problem is somewhere at your side...

If you use FloatingIPS with .bps patches, you won't ever have header problems, because it transparently removes headers, both when creating and applying patches, so the patches are *always* headerless, to avoid exactly that particular headache.
Tue 23 Jan 2018 - 12:47 by pev
I too, retested both the IPS and BPS files and they work fine on my end too (using Bsnes and Snes9x).

I always supply both for that same reason too.
Tue 23 Jan 2018 - 12:58 by darthvaderx
Still the same problem, I'll test on older versions of Snes9x and Windows Seven (W10 here) or another computer.
Tue 23 Jan 2018 - 14:52 by Conn
Small question, which problem?
You reported that it crashes. Guess this isn't the case anymore, since you have a patched non headered rom now. Your bugged headered Rom surely played spc, which you might consider "clear". So my assumption is that the pcm are indeed played, but you consider them so bad that you think they are corrupted. My advice: rename pcm from another game and try whether they are played with issues.
Also a video surely would help in this specific case if you're able to provide one.

Clipping makes more sense, yes. I tried the U.N. Squadron file and the sound effects are distorted/clipping.
This doesn't happen on BSNES or Higan.

How to play these smv files?
I'd guess then this is a weird problem with snes9x if it doesn't occur on higan/bsnes (can you confirm it works on bsnes, darthvaderx). There have been some snes9x 1.55 builds as far I remember, do you use the latest? It's strange that some have these problems then and some not...

Load the ROM in SNES9X then load the relevant SMV file. It's not really necessary as it's just playback of an input recording, and the ROM you have rather than the ROM darthvaderx has (as you know). So, just testing your own ROM with the latest PCM's will give you the same result.
If you remember I had to balance the PCM's with the sound effects on this game a few times as it's much louder than your average SNES game. Maybe the overall, combined volume of the PCM's and effects are driving the sound too hard and causing the effects to clip and distort. But yeah, it seems it's not a problem with the ROM, rather a problem with SNES9X.

Checking the asm, I found some possible bug sources:
Also it seems I have an outdated xkas version, so I needed to change your hooks from
org $99d739
to D-bank to compile it correctly
org $D9d739
I'd be happy if you give me your xkas
Darthvaderx, please try attached ips on NON-header US version:
I'm not sure about sta $002140, we have the xml in bsnes to write it to register, but I remember that I have an issue that it was written to 7e2140, ram. I also know that this is the native code. Ah well, darthvaderx, attached is the asm (for Pev if he likes) and a compiled ips with above changes to test on non-headered US version to see whether your problems still persist...

Then I'm sorry, the rest of the code looks ok to me.
I can only suggest you try bsnes/higan - maybe also other snes9x 1.55 builds.
It's strange that you seem to be the only person having this problem...
You said that the former version v3 worked fine, maybe Pev has it somewhere so you can restest.

Ah that was a request to PEV. There are different xkas versions, and mine seem to not address special hirom banks correctly (as in this game).I'd be happy if you give me your xkas Wink
Pardon?
Wed 24 Jan 2018 - 8:47 by pev
I use ASAR, always have issues with XKAS. I may have v3. But in reality, all that was changed since that version was the addition of the additional fixes. If I find it in my garbage folders, I'll pass it on.

I neither can imagine that the difference between v3 and v4 did these bugs, and if, above bugfix should have fixed this.
Wed 24 Jan 2018 - 10:23 by pev
Ok, I found beta3, you can get it from the same link. For now, I will keep all changes (beta3 and onward) until these bugs are truly ironed out.
Conn, I implemented your most current fixes and brought the asm up to 1.0beta5. Again, I am not having any issues with either Bsnes+073+3a and Snes9x1.55 (played up to stage 3 to ensure stability on both emus).

Conn, I agree. That was really only difference between v3 versus the others. And again, only Darth is seeing this problem. You and I are able to run the game fine. Maybe, we should ask Shiryu, Relikk, and Kurrono and see if they are seeing the same problem?
The Snes9x I am using was the last one Qwerty posted (one he announced in the general forum area).

I too have this problem with any msu game on my machine when using Snes9x. Even tried DirectSound and alternate audio drivers with different settings, and nothing seems to help Snes9x's audio clipping issue. That is why I now use Bsnes (never have those audio issues on this emu). I can see the clipping being a major annoyance to some. I myself, just dealt with it prior to Bsnes.
Wed 24 Jan 2018 - 11:51 by Conn
Well, in this case it is clearly an emulator issue; guess sort of incompatibilty with your sound card or whatever.
Maybe qwertymodo is the right person to address this problem? Still it would be interesting whether DVX has the reported problems on bsnes.

The PCM volume has been addressed, I was calibrating the audio using an incorrect reference. I ordered a CD of the PC version just to get the music so I just made a new PCM set, this time the audio is lossless and balanced however. In fact, I didn't alter the audio this time as the volume balance was just right anyway.
I've experienced emulation inaccuracies on Snes9x (one of them is Woody shouting YEEHA multiple times among other audio quirks), so I try to stay away from it. I typically recommend anyone to use anything-BSNES (Higan, Retroarch, Bizhawk, BSNES+, etc) because there's really no reason these days to not use it, even the performance core is good enough. For MSU-1, I use BSNES+ myself.
I haven't been able to do a lot of testing recently but I noticed that Food and Drink and Sid's Workbench didn't not loop for some reason, maybe it just happened on that one occassion, but it's easily fixed by pausing and unpausing.
After beating the game and watching the credits roll, the SPC Main Menu music will play along with PCM A Buzz Clip at the very same time.

Wed 24 Jan 2018 - 17:15 by darthvaderx
I just tested the game on another computer (with Windows Seven) and gave the same result, I just did not test in BSnes / Higan because they are not my favorite emulators, anyway I give up.
Thank you all for your dedication.
