Thanks a lot, all is perfect for me now :D

lokize

any way to music change in selection of plataforms?

madmodder123

@lokize What do you mean?

lokize

@madmodder123 for example: when i select snes in main menu of plataforms play a super mario sound...

madmodder123

@lokize I don't think you can do that in EmulationStation, I think it is a feature in Attract Mode though

lokize

@madmodder123 in recalbox i using this feature with emulation Station, but i prefer Retropie

legacy

@madmodder123 please can share an install guide as I've not been able to install the script. When I tried the run command it failed for me.

mitu

@lokize Out of curiosity, why do you prefer RetroPie over Recalbox ?

lokize

@mitu Recalbox consume ALL memory of my Rpi3 B And left only 10% of ram, i try fresh install but not solve, Retropie consume 20% of ram running games...

lokize

@gleam2003 You can Share this script?

@legacy said in Modified Background Music Script with added overlays!:

sudo python /home/pi/BGM.py

try "sudo python /home/pi/BGM.py" in the command line and tell me if it works.
if not try running "sudo bash BGM_Install.sh" when installing the script.
Please post the console output of any failures/issues, it makes things much easier :)

legacy

sudo python works, but i still get same result no music unless i turn toggle switch on then off.

i get a pngview process error, when launching a game and since installing the script a gamelist.xml error on startup

madmodder123

Please post your /etc/rc.local file.
Also the gamelist.xml issue sounds unrelated to this script

@madmodder123 ,

The gamelist issue happens every time I install the script. I have a backup image, which I have just restored and is working fine. I have tried this about 6 times now and I have decided to sack it off.

I managed to sort the gamelist issue by copying the file back.

My RC local file is also fine. I think there maybe a problem with my build as I have stripped it back.

Thanks for your time. I may come back to this music mod later down the line

@madmodder123 Wow this script is great!! I've got it running with over 20 songs and it does a great job of randomizing everything. I was wondering if there is a way to hide the text that shows on the left side when you launch or quit a rom. This text states that the music is stopping or starting back up. Thanks again for doing this!

@legacy @MochaJoesFavor
I fixed the gamelist issue and the console output issue guys :)
Just took the time to make the script smarter and then tried it out on a fresh install :D
Just make sure you run the script as root ("sudo ./BGM_Install.sh")
Let me know if you find any more issues!

legacy

@madmodder123 , okay il give it another bash thank you.

legacy

the error i get now when i launch a game

is /usr/local/bin/png view: no process found

also editing the rc.local file is stiil not working on boot.

bare in mind, emulation station i have the launch screen disabled, so it boots into the main front end.

is there another file i could add the boot text to get the script to launch.

@madmodder123 Ok, i've installed on a clean build. The retropie menu looks fine, however the music does not play and I get the following error when trying to turn on/off the music.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/pi/BGM.py", line 66, in <module>
from pygame import mixer # import PyGame's music mixer
ImportError: No module named pygame

Any ideas?
