I don't get it. I tried converting using the Tool SNESTOOLS but I have still the same problems. Can you explain your hirom-way to do it? Please.

Could you tell me the name of the program to patch? I tried to load the italian version but I had a C7 error (as everybody).

You're using RC3 correct? RC4 is working fine too. You need to dump the kernel, then flash a custom kernel, then you add the games (which the program auto converts), add box art, then sync the games.

I'm using RC4, did all that, added games (tried sfc, smc, zip), added box art, synced...the screen shows "hackchi", turns off, SNES turns on and the exact same 21 games are there, no new games...I think I'm doing something wrong but I don't see where. I even flashed original, then custom again, synced...no luck.

I even tried removing the 21 games, they aren't removed.

Hi! Still necessary to convert PAL games to NTSC?
THX!

Yup, unfortunately, you'll need to convert them

Yikes, try download RC3, restore the stock kernel, flash with custom kernel and try again. I got the games to work on RC3.

Ok i but some games on my SNEs Mini most of them work but some wouldn't work.

Don´t Work:
-Actraiser 2 PAl version with NTSC Patch
-Bahamut Lagoon with German Translation Patch
-Final Fantasy V with German Translation Patch
But the US version or the Japanese version with English Translation patch work without problems

-Soulblazer German version with NTSC Patch
-Illusion of Gaia/Time German version with NTSC Pacth
-Terranigma German Version with NTSC Patch

and some games have weird Resolution Glitch the games are not correct in the Border of the SNEs Mini

Super Probotector with NTSC Patch
Front Mission with German Translation Patch

I hope in the Hakchi Final everything is playable with the Mini

I don't think ever ROM can be compatible with Nintendo's own emulator (which programmers are giving it the name Canoe, not sure why), given that there are so many games that do weird things to the hardware on a real Snes. Can we get close? Perhaps, but every game that doesn't work, some can be fixed, perhaps, but 100% compatibility ain't happening.

Zelda Works at my snes with German PAL and secret of Mana too
And both Patched to ntsc.
Perhabs you try at poth a "PAL hirom To NTSC" patch.

I Used at several Games No Games specifcs Patch but a "PAL hirom To NTSC" or a "PAL lorom to NTSC" Patch and that works

Convert a HiRom rom from PAL to NTSC is very easy.

Headerless rom offset 0xFFD9 must be 01 or 00



00 JAPAN NTSC
01 USA NTSC
02 EUROPE/UK PAL
08 SPAIN PAL

etc...




Does anybody know if the RC4 has the option for editing the SaveCount?

So, the best way is to use retroarch for non working roms ?
