+One thing to be aware of
+when importing an MSU-1 game
+is that early firmware versions
+of the [SD2SNES][sd2snes] programmable cartridge
+had a bug that caused MSU-1 music to play too quietly.
+Skipping over [the full details][msu1vol],
+the short version is this:
+
+  - If offered the choice between "boosted" or non-boosted audio,
+    you want the non-boosted version.
+  - If an MSU-1 mod for a commercial game offers
+    "emulator" and "hardware" versions of the patch file,

+        have created replacement, non-boosted audio tracks
+        for the most popular MSU-1 mods.
+        If the mod you want to play has a replacement pack,
+        use it with the "hardware" version of the patch.
+      - Even without access to non-boosted audio tracks,
+        it may be that the existing audio is only slightly boosted,
+        so try the "hardware" version first, for best quality.
+      - If the audio tracks are heavily boosted,
+        the "hardware" patch may sound terrible,
+        distorting and clipping,
+        in which case try the "emulator" patch.
