• Instructions

Grab the .zip file and use either the BPS (recommended) or IPS patches into a clean EarthBound ROM by using FLIPS, Lunar IPS or Romhacking's Online ROM Patcher. Additionally, the hack can be patched by using DeltaPatcher for the .xdelta patch. EBP patch has been removed in favour of the BPS patch, which is the recommended patch to be used to avoid glitched/undesired behaviour due to using the wrong base ROMs.
If you want to use the hack with MSU-1, grab the PCM pack released alongside this hack from the Zeldix page at the beginning of this page, or from the following link: https://archive.org/details/earthbound-msu-1-pack (with a mirror link from Zeldix.net here: https://app.box.com/s/fkmjx61w4m7xom1kmir5zk7xv6jx9u8f )
Simply rename your ROM to "eb_msu1.smc" and place it in the same folder as all the .pcm/.msu files. You need to use Snes9x v1.54 or above in order for the MSU-1 hack to work.
