Yes.

Q. For the autofill database. all my games will automaticly updated with this data, or i have to re-add the games?
A. Need to re-add. I thought to add autofill for already added games but I decided that it's excess functionality while you need this only once.

I think would be a good idea autofill database for games added before hakchi2 update, @Cluster . This option would help us a lot. ;-)

Again, great job!

(Wow I like the update!)

It would seem that the Nes mini has trouble with "Magical Doropie / Krion Conquest": the sprites of the introduction sequence are bugged. Is that something that can be fixed?

Version 2.09: https://github.com/ClusterM/hakchi2/releases/tag/2.09

What's new:

  • 'Can't repack ramdisk' error on some systems should be gone now.
  • Device detection bug fixed (thanks to David Winter!)
  • Automatic file attributes fix (e.g. "WinRAR" bug fixed).
  • Game selection presets. Now you can create presets for favorite games, party games, etc. It's useful since NES Mini don't like huge amount of games at once.
  • Search by first letters of game, just press Ctrl+F.
  • Much better PNG compression for covers, x4 more disk space.
  • NES carts database with release dates, publishers, etc. Just add game and all fields will be filled automatically if it exists in database.
  • Automatic IPS patches. Now you don't need other application to patch problem games. Patch files stored in "patch" folder. Problem game will be detected automatically by CRC32 checksum. Release already contains patches for "Battletoads", "Robocop 3", "Snow Bros.", "Bill & Ted's Excellent Video Game Adventure" and "Startropics II". You can add and your own patches too.
  • Game Genie support. Just enter your codes (comma/spaces/semicolon separated) in special field and sync. Cheats will be activated automatically.
  • Mapper #87 added to list of confirmed mappers.
  • Epilepsy protection settings - you can disable epilepsy protection for original 30 games or for all games at once.
  • Clovercon hack! Now you can exit to menu using "Down+Select" combination. All you need now is controller cable extension...
  • Some interface improvements - you can delete games using del key, etc.
  • Many minor bugfixes.
Tomorrow i must wake up at 07:00am. there are 0:40 here and I'm testing the new version. Thanks so much.In spain we said that you're a Crack!

I was able to install the correct USB driver in the virtual machine and I was also able to add the NES mini in Fel mode....now what?

I am running 2.09, removed original 30 games, added 150 nes roms, all boxarts, removed all thumbnails, the new reset feature is working great, I am getting a c8 error when I shutdown still so I will continue to scale back the roms until I find the sweet spot.

Game Genie support. Just enter your codes (comma/spaces/semicolon separated)"

the genie code i want is this AEUIPGZA
do i just enter that ? I'm confused by the (comma/spaces/semicolon separated) when all the codes I've seen don't have any of that

If you're putting in multiple codes you separate them with a comma space or semicolon e.g. "AEUIPGZA,AEUIPGZB,AEUIPGZC"

@Cluster is doing incredible work, I think I have almost everything I'll ever need from this thing now.

I'll echo the question about the PNG. Is it for newly added games, or does it happen upon upload to the NESC?

Does the database pull in box art too?

OMG you are awesome!

Question about the png compression. Will it further compress box art that was already added to games prior to this new release, or do I need to re-add those covers for the better compression to occur?
