It does for me, and on one of two systems, it doesn't recognize the controller the first time it's powered on after syncing games. The other one I'm setting up doesn't do it.
I believe hakchi has a built-in module called "remove_thumbnails" that should do the trick.
Ah nice will give this a shot, thanks
Mine takes a few seconds to load, but usually kicks in right around when the drumtrack hits on my current BGM option, and it fits so well I just can't be upset.

Im sure the hardware CAN, but if you just put a n64 rom on there it would not work. You need the emulator. And im not sure anyone has successfully hacked a new emulator in the console.

It is done.
I finished making sprite thumbnails for my entire collection. The result, if I do say so myself, is nothing short of glorious.
There's three more folders of games, you can see them here if you're so inclined.
More importantly, you, too, can bask in the gloriousness that are sprite thumbnails. I've uploaded them all, plus several alternates for many of the games, to an imgur gallery here. I've also uploaded them to Google Drive so that they don't lose their names and so that you can download them all as a zip file (just select all of them, right click and select Download), here. Enjoy, people!
If you are using these, and there's any other game not in there that you'd like to have as a sprite, ask me (PM or quote this) and I may create them for you.
Edit: Here's also my custom folder images, in case anyone wants them:

yeah it does, the old hack didn't cause the delay. it's not the end of the world but it is annoying.
What do I type in the global command line and do I have to upgrade to V2.21b or is it okay to be in v2.20.15 and just install the modules n
Is it " --no-smooth" or "--no-smooth" ??
One has a space and one doesn't.
I tried installing Retroarch and adding Terranigma (with NTSC patch), but it wouldn't work.
It says to put --retroarch in the command line, right? Does that include anywhere in the command line?
Retroarch booted up when added as its own thing, but I don't know how to launch games from it. Also, does having it installed slow down the SNES' menu? I had to wait an extra few seconds when I would hit Select+Start.
Think I prefer leaving it out if that's the case.

Put it at the very end of the command line and put a space before the two dashes.
PROTIP: add /zip to any imgur album url and you can download the .zip file of the album.
Use that tip to download these other albums compiled by Joey Ravn very early in the topic:
no space
If you put in a bad command, your games will just C7.
Just delete the line if its wrong and you'll be fine.
If you have the latest Hakchi, retroarch will only work on games that need it.
It'll ask you for games like Gaia and Terranigma
I'm having an issue I can't figure out: I was playing Rockman and Forte with the English patch to make it Megaman and Bass. I decided to remove the game and re-add it, since Robin was correct in that games added to the older Hackchi build wouldn't give the save overwriting warning that the latest version does.
But now when I try to add it, Hackchi says it can't detect ROM type, seems ROM is corrupted.
I got it working the first time, I don't know why I can't now. For the patch to work the ROM needs to be headered, so I've been using NSRT Frontend to add it. Do I need to pick the "add headers to selected" option, or the "add NSRT headers to selected" option? And do headers needed to be added before applying the English patch?

I know it wasn't designed for the rom, but I tried the patch for Illusion of Gaia to get it working on the SNES Classic on Actraiser 2 and Robotrek. Robotrek just had a black screen, but Actraiser 2 got pass the intro and was playing the music, but had a grabbled image while stuck on the title screen. I imagine what was done to IoG can get that working for sure.
I think this is why v2.21b didn't work for me last night. I'll try when I get home. Thanks.
NTSC
I put the new exe and dropped and dragged all the old folders into the new version so I dont have to worry about losing box arts and settings.

the UK SNES mini just has the US Snes mini ROMs, to the extent that the instructions screen for kirby has all the wrong colours on the onscreen controller
I would suggest that you unzip the latest version in a completely separate folder and then just copy the game, config and dump folders over from the old version.
This is a much easier and cleaner way to do it.
Made a few more boxes (added to the same album: https://imgur.com/a/3nEtu) Will probably work through some of my personal childhood favourites for now (I think I'll be leaving Zoop off my system)
Donkey Kong Country 3 seems to be a strange case where I can only find the NOE design for it. Unfortunately, my copy is ex-display (Nintendo UK used to sell them like this near the end of the SNES's life so my mother got me some games for cheap like this) so I only have the game and manual, so no box of my own to reference.
Can anyone who owns a UK copy of DKC3 tell me if their box looks like this too, or if it uses one of the other templates?
(Yes, I did take the artistic liberty of giving the DKC2 box a flat blue colour, rather than the textured look the real thing has. Thought it wouldn't look that great when shrunk)

The only difference between the US and the EU/AU/NZ console is cosmetic. There isn't a PAL console, as PAL died with SD broadcasts. HD is the same format the world over. All HDTVs in EU have to support 60Hz. So the SNES Classic only uses NTSC 60Hz ROMs.
I can't keep up with you guys! This looks awesome, great job!!
Should I uninstall hakchi v2.20.15 before flashing the custom kernel (v2.21b)? Or is it okay to just go kernel -> flash custom kernel -> install core modules -> synchronize games ?

I haven't had any issues with the latter.

So wait, when I update hakchi I need to flash the custom kernel again to add and change stuff on the SNES?

Can I extract the FF3 ROM via Hackchi + FTP and then use it to apply the Ted Woolsley Uncensored patch to it & re-add it as a new game?

I think by DKC3 all of Europe had said f this to Super NES business and ran with the US style NOE cover. Even SCN, the most consistently NCL styled region after AUS, went with the NOE box:
Australia is the only NCL style cover I have been able to find:
Arent there other options like magfilter / filter?

Great tip, thanks! People may still want to download them off the Google Drive link in my case, as that preserves each image's original name, rather than the nonsensical generated ones imgur gives them.
Hahah, thanks! Forgot to PM you about it, but now you know.
If anyone actually uses them, be sure to post a capture of the result, and I also reiterate my offer to make more for other games anyone may want.
Thanks man. I've been waiting for someone to post comparisons.

Keep pressing start until you get to character selection.
Keep going forward until you're at the screen to start a race or buy new stuff for your car.
Choose buy stuff.
You'll notice the palette is all wonky.
Now hold L+R+Start+Select to soft reset.
The title screen menu options should now be visible!(still wonky but hey).
Obviously make a save state now, so you can load straight to the menu for future new games...

I got this same error (fresh dl of the latest version) but it seemed to work fine both added games and preinstalled.

The no smooth CRT switch is kind of a shortcut for -filter 2 -magfilter 3. If you want something that isn't quite as harsh as the standard pixel filter, -magfilter 2 is somewhere in the middle. It's my favorite.

Those look really good. What game is the lone Yoshi?
I can't figure out how to get Famicom Detective Club II working. I've tried applying the patch while it's headered and headered with NTSC.
I think the whole header thing is what's throwing me off. What type of header is a Japanese game supposed to have, and what's the easiest way to apply it?
