This has nothing to do with SNES Tracker.. Well it might.. If for some reason SNES Tracker supports MSU-1 .. which it has no reason to.. they’re unrelated and operate independently of each other.. But anyways it was hard to figure out how to get this thing working correctly on new Higan..
Keep everything the same but add this SuperRoadBlaster.bml file to the SuperRoadBlaster.sfc directory.

Here is some important info I discovered and wrote myself 😛
Super Road Blaster source is obviously a gold mine.
Here's what I discovered tonight.. more details found in Makefile
converting video to png with ffmpeg, snippet from Road Blaster, https://github.com/DocSchoko/SNES-SuperRoadBlaster/blob/master/tools/xmlsceneparser.py:
os.system("ffmpeg -y -i %s -s 256x192 -pix_fmt rgb8 %s/video_%%06d.gfx_video.png -ss %s -t %s" % (options.get('videofile'), options.get('chapterfolder'), timestart, duration))
Super Blaster has tool to convert png to snes gfx..
this somehow gets compiled in a data file "gamename.msu" by https://github.com/DocSchoko/SNES-SuperRoadBlaster/blob/master/tools/msu1blockwriter.py
now audio
os.system("ffmpeg -y -i %s -acodec pcm_s16le -ar 44100 -ac 2 %s/audio.sfx_video.wav -ss %s -t %s" % (options.get('videofile'), options.get('chapterfolder'), timestart, duration))
https://github.com/DocSchoko/SNES-SuperRoadBlaster/blob/master/tools/msu1blockwriter.py also does the audio pcm file output..
it is up to you to follow Super Road Blaster further or create your own file format.. but basically you would be storing sequential frames of tiles, tile map, and color palette data, perhaps along with an audio track
create a skeleton snes program that sets up a BG layer at a certain VRAM address that MSU1 will upload to. and then u learn how to program MSU1 to send the data to VRAM
http://helmet.kafuka.org/msu1.htm
Good luck, cause there's not much doc on MSU1 that I can see...
