RetroPie doesn't have any music in EmulationStation - are you using a 3rd party image ?

@freddyja script.zip is not avalaible, I can't use this guide.

I tried adding this after I did a fresh install of the "retropie-buster-4.6-rpi2_rpi3" image... it won't load. I configured my wifi...is it the new build that needs an updated script?

@bluestang
Great, glad it's working.
I removed the vc4 workaround stuff since it's not needed, and changed the init_delay to use seconds rather than milliseconds, since it's totally more useful with seconds (if people use video splashscreens).

The installer script was also updated to have a brand new file/directory selector for the initial song and music directory options, making them actually usable without having to pull out the keyboard.

Also fixed an issue with spaces in file paths and fixed some smaller niggling things (stopping used to spit out "Terminated blah blah...").

The only thing I'm planning at the moment is to maybe dynamically come up with some nice volume step values based off of fade_duration and max_volume to make just that little more "user-friendly" and remove that config option.

I'm fairly certain that most of the Disney tie-in games had chiptune versions of the music. I don't really have time to look up which songs charted right now but there's a lot of games that fall into that category.

Never mind ..figured out doom 2 tnt and plutonia are all 32 levels in size and share the music file names.

Searching the forum I found this: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/9133/quick-and-easy-guide-for-adding-music-to-emulatonstation-on-retropie-noob-friendly

I personally use it at home and it's easy to setup.

@hooperre dont know if it works with ports, my retropie version is latest 4.5.1 latest setup-script and runs on linux Xubuntu 18.04LTS.
btw, this is exact how it worked on my linux pc
its exact what i did to get music in the menus,
maybe do not forget to install mpg123 from synaptic package manager

for me a project being 'commercial' in nature doesn't necessitate it making a profit. besides, eventually someone sells the bus...

@Addison good form, very good form! That is truly stunning. I wish I had a CNC machine even more now.

I really like the aesthetic of the 70s one too. Something about the knobs I think.

I'll bet you could even play pong on that.

@Becciboo81 Well, RetroPie doesn't include any BGM music scripts - so you must have installed 2 scripts that play at once.

Check the usual places for startup scripts:

/etc/rc.local (you'll need to use sudo to edit this file). /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh

and remove one of the BGM scripts.

Thank you very much, it works. Now the only thing left I need to know is, can you change the deadzone amount of the left analog stick somewhere? I know you can change it in the option for ingame movements but it doesen't apply for the menu navigation and when I move up and down it often register a left or right movement and messing up my settings.

UPDATE: Nevermind I found the settings in the config folder inside zdoom.ini

@PJ7 Not really possible at the moment, because the music is not part of Emulationstation. In the future, it might be possible by adding a script for the 'sleep' /'screensaver-start' event in Emulationstation that would stop the music.

@thestarglider My pleasure mate, I'm glad I could help :)

@mitu Ahh, makes sense.

Hey guys, yes I like that one too thanks @Stuart2773 but it sounds too much like the snes classic menu as I have the original on my Nintendo build already. I do like the one @Clyde posted but only like the start of it, I might have a play and crop and loop before it all starts going crazy haha.
