              Hmmm...I'm kind of stumped right now.

              look at the S on script is that right? its from 1 page here

              That uppercase 'S' is correct in /home/pi/PyScripts/Test1.py

              Your picture of the Test1.py looks correct as well.

                    To uninstall use the step I posted above here:
                    https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/347/background-music-continued-from-help-support/125

                    Also here is an alternative script that kind of does the same thing. Maybe try to follow this one instead:

                        Try this first:
                        sudo apt-get update

                        Then try:
                        sudo apt-get install mpg123

                            how do i edit /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh which command?

                            Most of us use that program "nano" to edit files from the command line. Examples below!

                            step 2:
                            nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh

                            step 3:
                            nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand-onstart.sh

                            step 4:
                            nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand-onend.sh

                            step 5:
                            nano /home/pi/.bashrc

                            If any of those won't let you save your changes, then add sudo before the nano like sudo nano blah blah blah...

                                but where shall i put [[ $(tty) == "/dev/tty1" ]] && pkill mpg123 in last step?

                                inside the file /home/pi/.bashrc
                                or nano /home/pi/.bashrc

                                where shall i put my music?

                                In a folder named /home/pi/bgm/

                                "bgm" stands for Back Ground Music ;-)

                                in step 2: shall i put it the row under emulationstation #auto?

                                I believe so.

                                    in step 2: shall i put it the row under emulationstation #auto?

                                    Correction! you put that before emulationstation #auto like this:

                                    while pgrep omxplayer >/dev/null; do sleep 1; done
                                    mpg123 -Z /home/pi/bgm/*.mp3 >/dev/null 2>&1 &
                                    emulationstation #auto
                                    

                                    inside the file /home/pi/.bashrc
                                    i mean under wish line in the file?

                                    I just put it at the very end of that file and it worked for me.

                                        I just put mine at the very end and it works for me.

                                        Here is what the very bottom of my /home/pi/.bashrc looks like:

                                        retropie_welcome
                                        # RETROPIE PROFILE END
                                        [[ $(tty) == "/dev/tty1" ]] && pkill mpg123
