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?

@jurassicplayer Hi, it worked fantastic!! Congrats and thanks!! The only issue I found so far has to do with some mp3 files which are played much slower than they should, Maybe I would need to try different mp3 formats but you did an excellent job. None of the other scripts worked for me because of the video previews I use in roms, your script is the only one that fits my build. I only need to figure out how to correct the slow mp3 files issue, in fact if you could implement a method to change music depending on what system is being played as in some Recalbox Themes, it would be perfect, Cheers

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.

@ExarKunIv Thank you for this post!! Agreed about the lack of volume control!

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.

@drewjbx Isn't the script linked in the topic mentioned in the first post - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/347/background-music-continued-from-help-support ?

This is not currently supported in our emulation station.
