            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.

                                i mean under wish line in the file?

                                  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.

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

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

                                            Is there an easy way to modify one of these scripts so the audio plays on boot? I don't want to make all the splash screens I use into videos (I have them on random)

                                            I was thinking of having the dial up modem sound play upon booting, can someone please help me? :)
