Idea for a switch sysmodule

Midnite59 · Jun 7, 2023

I had an idea for a Nintendo Switch sysmodule called sys-bg. It would use the atmosphere/contents/TITLEID/bg.mp3 to play music in the background. (Example: Switch Plays atmosphere/contents/0100000000001000/bg.mp3 on the home menu, but on the eshop, it plays atmosphere/contents/010000000000100B/bg.mp3).
Would this be hard to develop? I don't know since I don't make homebrew. I just know adding menus to music that automatically play would bring back the personality to the switch.

I don't know if you can specifically say : I want this tune when I'm at home screen, or that tune for eshop...
give it a try...and if you can't program your playlist like you want, ask the developer if it could be possible

You can't. I tried that earlier.
I think someone already asked the devs about that

yep, just saw this :

it seems the developer does not want to add things like this...but there is already an audio player, maybe someone would fork it to add specific playslit on specific apps ?

Just learned that a sysmodule used to exist called xor-play, but its been archived and I'm on 16.0

I'm working on a sysmodule that essentially accomplishes the same thing. I wanted to start small so I just wanted home menu music like every nintendo console before. Right now I'm able to have the program recognize when it's in game or not and play music if it's not in any game but I'm having trouble converting the homebrew app into a sysmodule. I can't get SDL to play the mp3 file when it's in a sysmodule, but works fine in an nro launched from hb-menu.

If you still want to write the sysmodule I recommend looking into these repositories on github for more info on playing audio/recognizing games:
sys-tune
SwitchPresence-Rewritten

Perhaps we could work together to write this sysmodule

So i got it working to a basic implementation. It still isnt fully ready for real usage since the audio crackles and the sysmodule hasn't been tested much, but feel free to check it out on the releases tab for a pre-release version. I recommend using ovlSysmodules to turn it on/off

ok further update, sys-tune should be getting this feature soon anyways
https://github.com/HookedBehemoth/sys-tune/pull/35

a final update:
i combined my code and sys-tune to add home menu only functionality to sys-tune. once you start playing a song itll only play when youre in the home menu and no game is open. Be warned though that this prevents sys-tune from being used in game at all.

You can get the release here

This is so cool. I'm actually not a homebrew developer. (Only 13 y/o atm) I understand the core concepts of switch modding, if not the actual code. Its really cool how you were able to do this. Thanks

Np, feel free to let me know if you encounter any issues. Im going to keep working on my original version that way I can use both sys-tune and my module. Also never too early to start learning code lol
