sys-play (previous xor:play) is a system module that allows you to play background music on the Nintendo Switch.

Installation

Important notes

• Do not use this kip along with LayeredFS, LFS uses much memory so it'll get stuck booting.
• The memory of sysmodules is limited, so bigger audios may fail. There's no clear limit, just that some work and some don't.
• Also, sysmodules have limited memory, so it may fail when used along with other sysmodules.

Instructions

• Save the kip and add it to your own CFW (add something like kip1=xor.play.kip to hekate_ipl.ini).
• Create a file on the root of the SD card named xor.play.json.
• Write the Title IDs and the audio files to play when that title is opened. Here's an example with BotW and Home Menu:

{
    "0100000000001000" : "sdmc:/myaudios/play.wav",
    "01007EF00011E000" : "sdmc:/aud.mp3"
}

• This way, when there's nothing opened and you're in Home Menu play.wav file would be played, and while BotW is opened aud.mp3 would be played (even if you're on Home Menu and the app is minimized).
• The number of applets which support this is unknown, be free to test it. All games should work.
