TOP GEAR 2: Top Gear 2 MSU-1

This patch adds support for CD quality audio to Top Gear 2 using MSU-1 chip invented by byuu. So far, it is only supported and tested on BSNES, higan and the SD2SNES flashcart.

If the MSU-1 is not detected, the patch plays the original music, thus the patch works on all emulators (but it is less fun to listen to).

The link to the audio pack is included in the README file. It uses the Amiga CD32 music.

1. Patch the ROM
