@WarC0zes i found the problem. im writing a new fix. wait a sec. when done i tell you.
The problem is, sed cannot add new line to the beginning of a empty file.

WarC0zes

@Naprosnia Ok, I'm waiting for your new update ;-)

Naprosnia

@WarC0zes you can install now.

WarC0zes

@Naprosnia it works now, thanks a lot :D

Naprosnia

@WarC0zes I thank you to.

@Naprosnia I found a bug with fade effect when I leave the game, the system volume goes to 73% or 83% instead of staying at 100%. Without fade effect it's good, it stays at 100%.

Naprosnia

@WarC0zes hello, if you enter a game with 100% volume, when you leave it, the volume go to 73/83?
I'll check that out.

WarC0zes

@Naprosnia Yes, exactly. With fade effect enable.

Naprosnia

@WarC0zes fixed now. I put an extra option on RetroPie-BGM-Player / BGM Update menu, to reinstall everything. So if you need to reinstall it, simply go to update and select reinstall.

But for now you need to reinstall again manually.

@Naprosnia It's good the volume stays at 100% now. Thanks.

@Naprosnia Hey man, I love your implementation of this. Ultra noob friendly and integrated into the config menu for fine adjustments. I have a small idea/request. I like to display launch art, as well as have the BGM fade effect set. But currently they work independent of each other. Currently: Launch Game > Music Fades > Then launch art is displayed > game starts. I think it would be great if it could work like: Launch Game > Launch Art is displayed AS music is fading > game starts.

I don't know if that's possible but you got a donation coming your way if you can :) Either way, keep up the great work!

@Sibby Hello, today i will launch a new version with support to music emulation. As you mention, in this version the music fades will art is show.

cyperghost

@Naprosnia may I ask which application do you use to play emulated soundtracks? Can you extend to play module files too?

Naprosnia

@cyperghost hello, check audacious application files support. When i release the new version i post the files supported for BGM Player. I know that audacious support some module files, but i need to "unlock" it on bgm player. Google for audacious supported files, if you see some of your interest, tell me and i add its support to bgm player.
Because of the way i implemented the application on bgm, i need to add the file type to the bgm player settings so it can manage to play it.

Naprosnia

Version 2 released. Go to https://github.com/Naprosnia/RetroPie_BGM_Player and check all the new stuff.
Tomorrow i record a new video.

@Naprosnia Yes I see audacious is your new player now. It seems very versatile. How is the CPU load?
