Option for No Music? (Cannonball Outrun)

[sega-f]

Hi, i know the music in outrun is great but would be good to have the option to play with the music switched off, or even better, to have music volume control, for example 012345 (with zero being 'music off' and five being music full volume).
Could this be done? ....and btw, thanks i'm loving Cannonball Outrun, it runs so smooth it's frickin' awesome

Just add a custom bgm as an empty wave.

thanks that's a damn good idea but tbh i can't understand how to add custom tracks, there doesn't seem to be a clear guide to follow. . . .Any chance you could do a youtube video showing the step-by-step process for adding custom music?

You must edit the config.xml file to configure the music. You can see some examples already setup in the configuration.

Basically get a WAV of the music you want (silence) and put it in /res/ folder. Then change the XML to have a name like "No Music" and point it to the EmptyWav.wav.

` <!-- Add Additional Music To Music Selection Menu.

     1/ Music should be placed in the "res" directory.
     2/ Music should either be in .wav format (streaming) OR
        .bin format (Native OutRun Engine Format as also used by the 3DS and Switch conversions)
        
     Binary files should be 32K or under. They must be ripped correctly from the 3DS/Switch Ports.

<custom_music>
	<track1 enabled="0">
		<title>RADIATION</title>
		<filename>switch_radiation.bin</filename>
	</track1>
	<track2 enabled="0">
		<title>CRUISING LINE</title>
		<filename>switch_cruisingline.bin</filename>
	</track2>
	<track3 enabled="0">
		<title>CAMINO A MI AMOR</title>
		<filename>switch_camino.bin</filename>
	</track3>
	<track4 enabled="0">
		<title>STEP ON BEAT</title>
		<filename>switch_steponbeat.bin</filename>
	</track4>
	<track5 enabled="0">
		<title>STEP ON BEAT MEGADRIVE</title>
		<filename>switch_steponbeat_md.bin</filename>
	</track5>
	<track6 enabled="0">
		<title>MIDNIGHT HIGHWAY</title>
		<filename>switch_midnighthighway.wav</filename>
	</track6>
</custom_music>`

So you would have:

<track7 enabled="1"> <title>No Music</title> <filename>emptywav.wav</filename> </track7>
