I have provided a conversion script for use with the FLAC version of the soundtrack to generate the proper files. It is officially licensed with Square Enix, however, it is not free. It is the most complete and highest quality replacement soundtrack I have found. This mod utilizes the amazing Chrono Trigger Symphony soundtrack by Blake Robinson. If you have any issues setting up MSU-1, I'm usually available there to help out, whereas I don't check this thread all that often unless I have an update to post. It may also be helpful (though not required), to join my Discord server. To join the closed beta, you also need to follow me on Twitch here. If you wish to participate in the closed beta, you must play through up to Proto Dome (2300 AD) before requesting the video file (the first FMV plays inside Proto Dome when you discover Robo) The video file for the closed beta will be watermarked, but otherwise fully functional The video file for the intro will be available, but the rest of the FMV's will be considered a closed beta, which I will make available on a case-by-case basis to people who actually provide feedback The patch file includes all of the video code, which SHOULD fall back gracefully in the absence of the actual video file (please report any issues if it doesn't) I am releasing the patch file openly and requesting testing and feedback So, here is how I have decided to handle this beta release: I am working on writing my own tools to do the conversions myself, but that will take time. The bigger issue right now is that the tools I have been using to convert the videos really haven't produced the level of quality I was hoping for, and some of the scenes look pretty awful.

The FMV's, on the other hand, were quite straightforward once I figured out how to properly hook into the scripting engine. Oddly enough, the soundtrack is much trickier than the FMV's to get right, because there are tons of weird edge cases that I need to handle, resulting in a lot more opportunities for bugs to pop up. There are two main parts to this hack, the soundtrack and the FMV's. This game is really big, and I'm just not going to be able to test everything all by myself. I've been teasing my Chrono Trigger MSU-1 hack for awhile now, but I think I'm finally ready to release it for testing.
