if it's not in the release notes, chances are it can't be done.
oh yeah, and it can't be done... with the current release. we'll see what happens with future releases, and i'm sure they'll document it if a changing music feature is added.

Nope, I already named it.... It's Cipher "Winter" from the Alpha Conspiracy album

I suppose if someone really knew what they were doing... or like doing stuff when they dont, they could try to hex edit the .xbe and try replacing the song. All you'd need to do is look through the code for a few hours/days until you find where the song is, find a .wma (I'm assuming) the right size, overwrite it and try.

I'd say "but who has that kinda time", but I know there are probably people who have tried this already. Keep in mind, if u overwrite the wrong part, neXgen wont run.

Also, if u manage to unlock a format command, and erase ur hd trying this, it's not my fault. biggrin.gif

Or maybe I'm an idiot, who knows... well, I do... shut up brain

The big problem is that the music is likely stored as an extra data segment, and the program knows the EXACT size of the file. Finding a WMA that's the exact same size would be a bit tough.

Everybody will just have to wait for the NeXgen team to add decent soundtrack options to their dashboard.
