NJDave71 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Is there a way to have music playing in the background while navigating thriugh games. Once the game is launched it would stop and then reduce when returning back to HS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmoney2315 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 It was supposed to have been fixed in Hyperspin 1.4 but I have never been able to get it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexllgamer Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Bumping this. I just downloaded some arcade background noise from the Arcade Ambience Project and was fiddling around with this, but like you I couldn't figure it out. Any update? As always, thanks!

SkyHighGam3r Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 lol I have a thread about this exact same thing right underneath this one. No one responded to mine though hahaha. Anyway, If this is a supported feature of HS 1.4 I'm MORE than happy to screw with it until we get it working.

I'm not even sure where to begin with it. I know how to replace wheels sounds, but I'd assume it's different than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmoney2315 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 It has been so long ago since I attempted to get it working, honestly I cannot remember what I tried but I remember being unsuccessful. I have since moved on to LaunchBox and background music works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropping the MP3 into the background music folder and renaming it to a few different variants, like mame, background, default, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonseed Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Hey I am trying to do this right now.. I put a mp3 into Media/Main Menu/Sound/background but it does not play. If i rename fit to Background.mp3 will it work? Can it play a random batch of MP3 in random order? that is what I would like to do. I do not want the same mp3 or same playlist playing every time.

I'm not sure, I can't seem to get a proper answer anywhere on what the file is supposed to be named. I feel like this is what the problem is that's stopping us all. As for random, I'm not sure. I'd imagine it's possible if it treats background music like it does sound, but again... there's like no documentation of this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesfranks Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 This might help. Sorry if it doesn't. I was just playing around since there are two or three parallel posts about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandacity Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Figured out how to set it for individual games/systems, but unfortunately not for an over all "while your in the systems wheel". That can be done by naming it the same name as your wheel/rom in the appropriate folder. Found a really back door way. You can set a track as a system exit sound and click in and then back out of said system. However, it will be a random track if you have multiple, it does not repeat, and if you do it more than once they play over each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would then be: Z:\Frontends\Hyperspin\Media\Main Menu\Sound\Background\Nintendo Entertainment System.mp3 Is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avar Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I haven't messed with background music in a long while but I believe that's correct. Since I don't use it I wasn't aware it was such a pain. Is it working as intended now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyMannMachHin Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Makes me wonder, if you could set the main menu or the systems menu to use internet radio stations like those connected to OCRemix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avar Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 @EyMannMachHin This is actually something I have a keen personal interest in and plan to reach out to OCRemix directly soon. Additionally, we're working on implementing more audio customization options in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it only plays while you have it highlighted on your wheel :/ It disappears when you enter. Although, the other portion I mentioned with the Enter/Exit function works for that. Again, it does not repeat though so once it is done it is done. And if you go out and back in the track will still be playing and play a second cannon over its self.
