i need help with this one. I've first tried it today, works on cartridge games and on home menu but when i enter a digitally downloaded game like Tetris 99 it crashes atmosphere. Any help with this?

Anyone knows if this still works on 14.1.1? I've updated Tesla and that now works again, but I get an error when I select the Sys-tune overlay.

Hi , try this

Thank you, this worked:) Although, I believe that the problem was that my content folder didn't contain the neccesary files, since I have somewhat recently re-installed a fresh copy of Atmosphere, and didn't realize I was missing the folder.

Anyway, this works now:)

I assume it isn't possible to support OGG or OPUS by memory constraints.
A pity, since part of my collection are in those formats.

Can you add an option to only play while on the home menu? just a toggle or something?
I think the functionality may be added in a future version since a pr on github has been approved containing this feature, however until then I've implemented it in my own fork. This version of sys-tune only plays the song you choose on the home menu, pausing whenever you launch a game.
You can find it under the "Releases" tab here:
https://github.com/rakib-shahid/sys-tune-menu-only

Keep in mind though that this prevents you from using sys-tune in game at all and after reboots you may have to manually start playing the song again.
I'm also going to try to create a separate module that does only this, the repo is here:
https://github.com/rakib-shahid/sys-menumusic
^ this module works but the audio starts to crackle so I have to fix that.

Best news I've heard for the Switch homebrew scene in a while. I hope you can get the crackles fixed. Would be a true game changer.

I second this. Been waiting for this feature since some time already. Keep up the good work. Hoping for crackles to be fixed 🙏

v2.0.0 is here :)


  • Per title control (pause / play, in game volume and sys-tune volume)
  • Global default options (set sys-tune to be paused / playing by default, set volume of the game / sys-tune by default)
  • Bulk song adding (add an entire folder to the playlist)
  • Any changes made are now saved to a config file, so they're retained after reboot
  • A blacklist feature is added for games that fatal when using sys-tune (causes sys-tune to close itself on launching a blacklisted game and will automatically re-launch itself when exiting the game)
  • A few bug fixes
It seems that most people would like music to play only on the home menu. Seeing as no one reads the readme, I'll instead write a little guide here ;)

How to play music only on the home menu (guide)​

  1. Launch sys-tune overlay
  2. Scroll down to "Play / Pause" section and click on "Tune (default)" once until it says "Pause"
  3. Whilst on the home menu and without a game launched in the background, scroll down to "Play / Pause" section and click on "Tune" twice until it says "Play" (it will say "Play" by default, but you need to click the option at least once for it to be saved to the config file)

What's next?​

I'd like to improve the overlay ui a little bit. Some ideas include:
  • option to reset all settings to default (can be currently achieved by deleting the config file)
  • Option to see info on each option. Example, pressing X on any option would show some text better explaining the option in more detail
  • Option to save / load playlist
  • Option to start a playlist automatically.
  • Per title playlist saving option (maybe, seems unlikely anyone would want this)
No promises when the above will be done, might be in a few weeks, months, years of never :lol:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if that was the point of game streaming
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But it's a dead end
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    @BigOnYa, i only have like 1 or 2 mb sec

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.

    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

    Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

    I bet @AncientBoi has some hamsters hidden somewhere tho....

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)
