Music suggestions for your RetroPie menu Music
-
I had an idea that each system could have it's own music. I never tried doing this, but here's some songs think sound good with each system. My rules were that it has to sound like it could be laid back menu music, and that it can't be too repetitive, (no map music.)
Arcade: Namco Museum Game Select Menu Theme (Gamecube)
Gameboy: Super Mario Land - Muda Kingdom
Genesis: Ristar - Break Silence
NES: Startropics - dungeon
PSX: Fighter Maker - Fighter Select
Mastersystem: OutRun - Magical Sound Shower
SNES: Super Mario RPG - Let's Do the Fooka-Fooka!or Donkey Kong Country - Simian Segue -
I just started looking into music and found this thread. FANTASTIC ideas in here and a pile of songs I had completely forgotten about. I have one to add that doesn't really fall into the RetroPie category but it's just too awesome not to mention and I think it's a great fit for most systems.

This is an all time classic. If i was using it i would use the actual song.

These are great for the menu screen

Here is my Playlist of Game Remixes.
I used it for Emulationstation on my Raspberry pi.

These are great. How do I rip the sound from a YouTube vid?

Animal Crossing: New Leaf - K.K. Slider's Entire Repertoire (Aircheck Versions)
I haven't played an Animal Crossing since Wild World, but I love this music for my BGM. 91 tracks total.

For those who like Synthwave, I have created a playlist that works great for Background music (at least to my taste).
No voice, just some of the best soft music inspired from the 80's (Mitch murder, Morgan Willis, The Midnight...)
Hope this can be useful for some of you!https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7AWoDhxl2Ls7LHoUrM3HID?si=OX1SD8QDT2GofTgVCROP_Q

I am still looking for that perfect menu music track. I want something in the vein of the SNES Mini Classic menu music, but not literally that one.
I have tried some Recalbox menu themes, some stuff from Wii Shop, Mii Channel, Wii Play Motion (Nintendo has these jingles down), but none of them sound to my liking or they just get annoying after a while.
I want something that can be background noise when idling in Emulationstation, ideally in a perfect loop, but that turns out to be much harder to find than I had thought.

Oh, the struggle with perfect background music... I can do anything with my RetroPie setup but I'm never completely happy with any background music playlist. After some time I'm like "oh not that (otherwise awesome) tune again!"

Every time I power on the arcade cabinet it plays a random track from about eight (while in EmulationStation).
