Homebrew RELEASE sys-tune - background audio player with overlay

[HookedBehemoth]

Not much I can do there.
Thog helped me figure out what the limit I'm hitting is.

There are only two AudioRenderer sessions globally.
If the game takes both and sys-tune is running it'll abort guaranteed.

I'll implement a toggle so you don't have to reboot to play those games.

Remove the boot2 flag and give this build a try.

I made it so the overlay launches the sys-module if it's not running and you have the option to disable it without rebooting.

Will try it in the evening. Thank you.

So this version has an additional "activation" function for this overlay, did I understand you correctly?

Seems to work for me.
Isn't it possible to have this as a dynamic sysmodule? It would be more consistent. But this works too.

Thanks.

Could you implement that it would sound on the menu and stop when entering a game?

This will be great function :-)

Yes but that might also require to have a preset playlist to play on boot, because playlist wipes itself on reboot. Maybe a default playlist saved in a standardized playlist format, and multiple playlist support if you want to switch between playlists. A lot of work, but I think it would be a cool idea. Though it might become unnecessary if NXThemes added support for Background Music.

for example in an .ini or .json file?

Sadly no.
This function sends a command to the sysmodule that tells it to cleanly exit. The most important step is unregistering the service so on consequent starts the name isn't occupied.

We had a talk about that a while back about having that port standardized so something like ovl-sysmodules could close those services too.

I haven’t had time to test this out yet, but does it mute in-game BGM? Or just play over the top?

 

[HookedBehemoth]

Play on top.
There is no way to mute game BGM except in game - if they give you the option - or patching on a game to game basis.

I guess I could add the option to turn down game master volume.

Ah ok, as an example I have always hated Splatoons repetitive music that has no volume control. I would love to just hear the SFX and play my own music, but I guess the only true way would be to dummy out any BGM related files in the NSP. Unless there is a generic method, I have no idea.

Does not work for me at all, neither in sx os nor in atmosphere.

Can confirm, overlay opens but selecting a song does nothing.

 

[1basti1]

Oof, I didn't tried a song. Just tried to close the overlay and start a game, that didn't work before.

 

[HookedBehemoth]

I think I broke mp3 ^^

That might be why the new build wasn't working, everything I have is MP3

Found the bug and it's hillarious:

[Hambrew]

if only the 3ds was powerful enough to do this and/or Colors! DS had a built-in music player so you can draw and listen to music, no iPod needed.

How do I use this fix?
