In reply to spookydonkey. Ah yeah, i remember you telling me that pausing any MP3 works just as well as using a silent MP3. But actually it's the same for me, since that silent track is the only MP3 i happen to have on my PS3.

In reply to Dammit.

The latest MAME stuff is always in the pack on the mamecheat front page:

MAME codes are now in xml and you may have to convert them if you are using one of those MAME variants that still use the old format.

A lot of them have been converted to FBA format for use with macrolua:

Codes have to be found on a case by case basis but it’s generally not that hard, whether for arcade or console.

In reply to chicobo329. Not really, but you wouldn't believe how much stress that game (along with SvCC) caused me. It took forever to figure out some of these solutions. So i'm just hoping to save everyone else from those same headaches.

Pretty comprehensive and helpful! I like the trick of using an silent mp3 in particular for the SFIV games. But I must say it’s funny (yet complete) to note SF1. Can you even combo in SF1 besides the 3-hit DP?

In reply to Dammit. Right, it's just that i always think of cheats as a last resort, which is why this list ended up being so diverse. But i'd love it if people listed all sorts of codes here just so we could have them in one place for easy access.

There’s many approaches to getting rid of the music, but with emulators, the cheat code method will always work. So if you need help finding mute codes, ask around.

Thanks to crowbait and Dammit for doing so much research with BGM silencing codes. Thanks to ArT of AoFDB for coming up with the Kawaks SvCC trick. Thanks to Buktooth for providing the exact names for the MvC3 menus. Pugsy and NotAGoodName on the MAME Cheats forum succeeded in finding a code for MAME 0.126/0.105 to disable background music in SvC Chaos: :svc:20800000:011276:00000060:FFFFFFFF:No Background Music What i like to do is create a whole new folder for the files i'm going to use for cheats, containing a separate copy of the emulator, roms, save states, everything. After recording a combo with the music enabled using my non-cheat emulator, i duplicate it from scratch using the cheats and record it again. Then i pair the video feed from my original recording with the audio from the cheated recording. That way there's no question whatsoever that the combo is legit and that the cheats didn't play any part in altering gameplay, randomness, etc. Definitely an annoying process, but thankfully there aren't too many games that require cheats to mute background music.
