Title: Need help with Game Launcher and MP3's
Post by: Pitcher13 on May 02, 2003, 05:39:05 pm
I have read through the treads and tried most everything but still can't get my MP3's to play. Thanks for your help. The files are at 192kbps and 128kbps. Here are copies of my CFG files:

########################################################################
#
# MP3 Playlist file
#
# - Comment lines begin with "#"
# - Every other line is the full path to an MP3 File
#
C:\mame\glaunch\pacmanfv.mp3
c:\mame\glaunch\takeonme.mp3
########################################################################
#
# Overall configuration options


# Background music type:
# 0: None
# 1: MP3 playlist
# 2: Compact Disc in CD-ROM (DOS Only)
background_music = 1

# Path to the MP3 playlist file. Only relevant when background_music = 1.
mp3_playlist_file = C:\mame\glaunch\playlist.txt

# CD Volume (0 - 1000). 0 - Min, 1000 - Max. Only relevant when
# background_music = 1.
mp3_volume = 1000

# CD Volume (0 - 1000). 0 - Min, 1000 - Max. Only relevant when
# background_music = 2. For some reason the CD is really loud on my
# machine.
cd_volume = 450

# Sound effect volume (0 - 1000). 0 - Min, 1000 - Max.
sound_effect_volume = 1000

# Use software audio mixer (Windows only). Set to "no" by default,
# but if you get distortion try turning it on as some DirectSound
# drivers have buggy mixers.
use_software_mixer = no

Try putting you mp3's on every other line in your playlist.  That's the only difference between you config and mine.  Mine works fine with 3 mp3's.

Example...

# MP3 Playlist file
#
# - Comment lines begin with "#"
# - Every other line is the full path to an MP3 File
#
C:\mame\glaunch\pacmanfv.mp3

c:\mame\glaunch\takeonme.mp3

If that doesn't work, try writing your mp3 path like this:

.\pacmanfv.mp3

That is assuming your mp3's are in the same directory as glaunch.exe.
