So all I need to do is unzip the new version, copy my game folder from the old Hackshi folder to the new one and select dump custom rom in the menu?

All the custom borders stuff will stay on the console?

1. Drop the new files over the old files
2. Plug in SNES Classic
3. Kernel > Flash Custom Kernel

Edit: Yeah, you shouldn't lose anything.

 

[Dimentios]

Soo, anyone knows how to edit the packed.png to delete the selection boxes?

Edit: Remade my Super GnG one so it had light effects like my starfox one.
I made spotlights for the skulls (horror effect) and the manual at the top right.

Those are the only steps needed to switch to this version?

 

[bubumiao]

I added --retroarch to the end of the command line for Terranigma, but now the game just doesn't launch at all (the screen goes black for a second, then it returns to the main game select screen). Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Make sure when you resync that it's not compressing it.

So if I installed all my stuff using the first "final" version released... Is there any reason why I would want to reflash using the latest version?

I think the extra MB will be useful.

I think you need the config and dump folders too.

 

[Durock]

Finished! Total of 62 games added, the majority of which are Rare games. I’d add more, but I’m assuming it still crashes at 63+?

 

[PMS341]

Also curious on this!

 

[AtomicShroom]

But there’s only 7 games made by Rare for the system! What sorcery is this!?

 

[mullet2000]

Just an FYI to people, 63 games doesn't seem to be a hard limit before getting C8 errors when shutting off your console.

I had 61 games and started getting them. I then removed Star Ocean (8+MB with the fan-translation), and then added 4 games that were all under 1 MB each (so 64 games), and no errors still.

So it's still around there but there's a small amount of wiggle room based on size.

Installed RetroArch, so I added NES/GB/GBC/GBA games.

[OmegaDL50]

So does Seiken Densetsu 3 work natively now with the new version of Hakchi?

Would like to know this as well.

I tried playing it Retroarch and didn't realize how bad the slowdown issue was. I'd much rather play it with the native emulator if the Hi-Res mode stuff is finally fixed.

 

[Bill R Boggess]

As for overlooked games, Batman Returns is a really fun beat-em-up with a really great presentation.

I think it's the only Konami game based on a movie, in fact.

Touché! Nice!

 

[Linkhero1]

Yep. It's pretty straightforward.

 

[Buddy Mcpuddy]

Unfortunately not, I’m fully updated and the hi res issue remains.

 

[MercuryLS3]

Yep. It's pretty straightforward.

Yeah i just did it, really easy. Goof Troop works now without having to modify anything.

 

[Coketruck]

Make sure when you resync that it's not compressing it.

No, it's still doing it even when I'm not compressing it. I don't know what the problem is.

 

[SOLDIER]

How’d it go with the LG TV updates btw, did it work out for you?

Unfortunately not. If you can help out in the other thread I'd appreciate it.

 

[Megasoum]

Huh...so I flashed using the latest version of Hakchi and now it'S telling me I'm using 107.7MB / 172.1MB? Isn't it supposed to be out of 300 or something like that?

 

[The Elite]

I can’t figure that shit out at all. It gives me completely different numbers.

 

[zoodoo]

So it can play nes games also? Natively or retroarch only?

 

[Christine]

You probaby have a lot of save states. The rewind data makes them big and due to the way they are stored and hackchi reports the filesystem they'll reduce the available space number rather than increase the used space number.

 

[bubumiao]

Retroarch.

Hmm ok, did they change that in one of the recent version? My flash from the first "final" release still said 300something MB before I flash it tonight.

Not that I really care since I already have all the games I want on it but anyway.

 

[zoodoo]

Retroarch.

Thanks!

But the hardware is the same or similar to nes mini. Can't the native nes mini emulator be installed on it?

 

[Transistor]

Thanks!

Hardware is the same but different kernels, I believe

 

[bubumiao]

Maybe somewhere down the line this'll be possible. I think NES games look really good on SNES Classic Edition using retroarch though (I only tested 6 so far).

 

[zoodoo]

Oh ok.

I thought it was same kernel with different emulators on top.

 

[Transistor]

Oh ok.

I thought it was same kernel with different emulators on top.

I might be mistaken, don't get me wrong, but even though it's the same hardware, it won't accept the NES emulator..... Yet!

 

[scamander]

I'm a little confused; do the ~60 games you can install in a single folder before getting the C8 error include the pre-installed ones? Do I still have to add "--retroarch" to the command-line with the new version, even when Hakchi informs me I have to use another emulator for the game to work?

I’m not sure about your first question, but as far as problem games are concerned Hakchi is just informing you that you’ll need to use other means to run them, you still need to manually append ‘—retroarch’

 

[CLEEK]

You sure you weren't trying to reply to the same person I was replying to? Because I've known about those games for decades

Just adding to your list, dude.

Good to know, thank you!

 

[Legendary Wizball]

Success. So here we go again.

v2.21b (internal version 2.0.21.32)

• Better games compatibility for SNES Mini (updated database of preset IDs, better LoROM/HiROM detection).
• Built in database of problem games, so hakchi2 will ask you to switch to 3rd party emulator automatically (e.g. RetroArch).
• Original games are not using extra memory space anymore, so we have some extra space for additional games (thanks to DanTheMan827!)
• "remove_thumbnails" mod no longer slows down SNES Mini's startup (thanks to brian91292!)
• Bundled with new mod "snes_custom_filters" which allows to disable scanlines in CRT mode or enable bilinear filter in 4:3 mode. Please read mod description before install.
• Bundled with new mod "extra_space". This is experimental mod for SNES Mini which moves your save-states data to unused partition of NAND flash. This partition is only 50MB in size but it will free some space for games because SNES Mini's save-states are huge. Please read mod description before install.
• Bugfixes.

To update, simply drop the new files on top of your old files.

Be sure to do a "Kernel -> Flash custom kernel" this time.

What exactly does the original games not taking space mean? Are they just run from nand now?

 

[rubbishmonkey]

Does anyone have those neat 3D style covers but for the Japanese Famicom games? I dig the USA ones that were posted a while back.

I'm juggling with the idea of making some, im not sure if I prefer to go with the Super Famicom or a more SNES style...

 

[Soar]

Has anyone tried playing any of the Goemon games? I went through the list in the OP but could not find it.

 

[Zee-Row]

I installed the new hakchi 2.21 but how do i get my stuff from the old version to transfer over? Everything is blank when i opened it.

If you dropped the new folders into the hakchi folder it should be good to go and then just flash the new custom kernel I believe. (Overwriting the old folders)

The important folders you'd want (inside the new hakchi folder) to have from before would be snes_games, dump and config.

Ah ok , I think i got it now.

 

[Zee-Row]

Crap I don't think it worked , i dragged the hakchi2.exe into the directory where all the folders are at and replaced the old application but my games folder is only showing the original games. I flashed custom kernel.

 

[MThanded]

Got my retrode in the mail!!!!!

Gonna dump some carts.

You should unzip all the folders and the hakchi2.exe into the hakchi folder. Not just put the hakchi.exe in there.

So you probably just replaced the custom one you already had. But that's strange if you don't see the games you had.

Anyone else have better advice?

 

[LOUD915]

I just tried the new updated hack tool and still no sound when its hacked. It worked previously on 2.20 and then I tried installing Retroarch and Terranigma and the sound cut out.

No matter how many times I uninstall and reload the original kernel, I can't get sound when I rehack it.

Perhaps I broke the hardware in some way when I first hacked it.

I'm using Virtualbox as I am a Mac user.

No idea why I'm not getting sound while hacked. Makes no sense at all.

Like I said, it worked great hacked and then I installed Retroarch and Terranigma and things went to shit.

I installed the original dump files and all.

I almost want to ask the original hackers or the thread starter to take a donation of my system to see whats wrong.

I have another system on its way and I'm not sure if I want to try again.

I walked my buddy through over the phone and his works fine.

People have had problems if using a sound bar, could that be it?

You might be having driver signature issue. This may help you.

Its hooked up to my monitor.

Let me try hooking it up to my TV instead.

Holy shit.

I plugged it into my TV and it worked fine.

I plugged it back into my monitor and its now working fine.

WHAT IN THE FIGGETY FUCK????!!!!!!!

I'VE LITERALLY SPENT 6 HOURS TRYING TO FIX THIS OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS AND UNPLUGGING THE HDMI AND PLUGGING IT BACK IN FIXED IT!!!!

 

[Psxphile]

Bad cable, maybe? Or just a rickety connector that's not making good contact.

Ok I fixed it but here's my next problem there are certain games where i'm trying to run them through retroarch , I put —retroarch but i get an error booting the game.
