Is there a way to disable only in-race music (solved)

[skiper36]

Hi I'm currently playing GT 2 1.2 NTSC and I curious is there a way to disable BGM during race only. I know that settings menu has a slider which allows to decrease BGM to 0% but it disables menu music as well.

I tried to disable BGM via Duckstation (disable CD music) - it's much better menu music is now there while racing music is off but unfortunately after choosing this option the game starts to miss menu music before and after a race. Also in-race jingles are also missing.

My current solution is using Silent's gameshark codes which mute racing BGM by holding R3 on gamepad. Silent has been added a few comments to his codes so it's look like there is a chance that it possible to mute in-race BGM permanently.

I would very appreciate if someone who understands gameshark codes could check this possibilty. Maybe it would help some other players who has the same issue as me.

Below I am posting Silent's codes with his comments.

So if anybody wondering I've found the solution. I just switched conditions of R3 pressed/released and now I have menu music and jingles but in-race music is now turned off. Probably there are a lot of unnecessary codes here but it just works.

duckstation/setting/audio mute cd audio turn of bgm in race music while having menu music. Then you can play own mp3 from hdd instead.
