I do not have a clue myself

I'm assuming it would be along the lines of --retroarch Nestopia in the global arguments but i don't want to waste the time only to find out it doesn't work :/

Best spot for cores

Can someone explain how to make nestopia the default core for nes games? I really don't like the FCEUMM one :/
I only installed the .hmod version of the file do i need the source code folder version? If so how would i go about changing cores?
Or more so i'd like to just use nestopia for the whole dang emulation process

replace FCEUMM with nestopia and rename nestopia core to what FCEUMM core was , this would be the easiest way

how did you make cores Hmod files pcm

kingj said:
I want use https://github.com/pcm720/retroarch-clover/releases latest release but I don't see point installing it as of now since I already got all those cores on last release just I can add more cores but they got be Hmod files? which I don't know how to do I want CPS2 core hmod file to put in there

Tell me which cores do you need, I'll add them later

I made some changes to the video settings in RA (Custom Apect Ratio because the top and bottom was cut) How can i save the settings in RA so that the game always starts my custom settings?

You'll need to comment one line in retroarch-watchdog which overwrites aspect ratio in retroarch.cfg

@pcm720 i just noted your new mode was not filling the screen on 4:3 mode. Tested with master system and PCE. Is this due to integer scalling?

Yes. Integer scaling gives you pixel-perfect output.

Could not get this version to work for the life of me. Downloaded the Cores.zip file and new retroarch_mod.hmod file. Placed the retroarch file in user-mods and unzipped the cores and placed them in the same directory. Uninstalled all previous mods. Installed the retromod hmod file first. Then went back and installed the snes9x2010.hmod file. Chose my games and installed them. Tried to play Super Mario World and it goes straight back to the menu. With NES games, get an error with the unsupported mapper games as if nestopia is not functioning. Went back and installed .1 and all works fine again.

Not sure what went wrong here. List all the cores you have in RetroArch GUI.

Ok so with 2.12 and clusters hmod, what do I need to do to get 2600 roms to run? I tried using pcm's stella hmod and installed it but the game shows black screen then back to menu. Thanks for any help.

You'll need to replace "path-to-your-app" in Hakchi2's extra arguments with "a26". Hakchi2 doesn't know that we have /bin/a26 to run *.a26 ROMs

kingj said:
Guys when I download https://github.com/pcm720/retroarch-clover/releases latest release to get the Hmod folder and instead just file I download the Source zip correct ? Inside is cloverapp,core modules, fbgrab-1.3,liberto core template and retroarch hmod then LIcense file Makehmod batch and makemod.sh and readme.md? How exactly do I put this in hakchi2.12? Do I just put the retroarch.hmod folder inside? and replacei t with the Hmod file and uninstall reinstall?

No.
Download retroarch_mod.hmod and cores.zip. These are the only files you'll need.

I can add a module that overwrites /bin/nes to use Nestopia or FCEUmm exclusively

fbalpha2012_cps2 for CPS2 games run smooth I seen on youtube videos 60 Frame rates, and small sizes. I would love it and sure others if you add it to your next release

I will wait for next release most likely before I update from

I was going tackle what this person suggest me doing on reddit.

Assuming you have the released version of hakchi2.12.
Download retroarch hmod here: https://github.com/ClusterM/retroarch-clover/releases

This file is actually a .tar.gz file, which 7zip can open and edit directly, so make sure you have 7zip installed. Put the hmod file in your hakchi2/user_mods folder.

Now download the fbalpha 2012 cores for cps1 and cps2 here: https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armhf/latest/

Open the retroarch.hmod file from your user_mods folder inside 7zip now and navigate to retroarch/etc/libretro/core, this is where you want to copy in the 2 cores you just downloaded.

Hit the up arrow just under the "add" icon at top left three times until you see folders bin, etc, user. You want to go into the "bin" folder. Inside here you'll see a bunch of files like nes, snes, etc.

Drag one of these to your desktop (it doesn't matter which as long as it isn't fbagrab, or any of the ones starting with "retroarch") and open up in notepad.

All you need to do here is change the core that the file is pointing to, so change the 2nd to last item to fbalpha2012_cps1 and save the file as "cps1" (no .txt after). Duplicate the file, name it cps2 and point it at core fbalpha2012_cps2.

Now copy the 2 files you created into that same bin folder in the archive, and hit the up arrow in 7zip a few times to make sure it either will or wont prompt you to update the archive because files have changed. Save changes and close 7zip.

Now you have the cores set up and loaded. In hakchi2 you need to install the retroarch module so run hakchi2 and go to modules menu->install extra modules. Choose retroarch and follow the instructions.

Now you are ready to add games. Lets say you want to add alien vs preadator. Hakchi2 automatically unzips any files you add to it, so to get around this and add the entire rom zip file (avsp.zip), right click it and compress it into a .7z archive using 7zip. Now add the file in hakchi2.

Find the game in the list of select games and update the "Name" field at right since it will likely just be avsp (or whatever the 7z archive you added was called). Additionally, you need to change the "command line arguments" part. Where it says /bin/path-to-your-app change it to /bin/cps2.

Synchronize with your nesc and you are done!''

But I wasn't sure if this would would since you made it so cores HAVE to be hmode ?

Anyone having issues with nes mini freezing and only way to get out is a complete hard reset?

Smw2 Yoshi island just locked up on me. Complete freeze.

Trust me, it's better not to mess with the hmod archive. This can lead to having the cores you won't be able to remove. That's why I used module system for the cores in the first place

I'll upload a new template along with fbalpha2012_cps2, fceumm and nestopia cores soon (soon means about 10-15 hours).

This is what my custom FOLDER ARTWORK for NES looks like next to each other... for those that wish to use it (again it's a Work in progress..) I'm using the FULL NTSC (About 670+/- games) Library for NES Collection of only Licensed games...I think I hit SPLIT FOLDERS max 30 games per folder for compatibility so this is the corresponding artwork so far... still going to complete the set... I like it as opposed to the bland blank folders. I feel the NES Classic / mini lost it's luster when I upgraded without modifying the artwork so I think one of the cool things is to encourage you click on these folders with recognizable artwork / titles from various games within those folders.. what do others think so far?

pcm720 your module system for cores doesn't work that's why people are modifying the hmod

No, but it definitely seems like there are a lot of issues with that particular game (sound, save states, crashing, etc.). I have been playing a lot of NBA Jam and Link to the Past, and so far no issues.

Added fb_alpha and fb_alpha_cps2
https://github.com/pcm720/retroarch-clover/releases/tag/0.2_mod

I'll deal with the NES cores later (this time really in 10-15 hours)

Bosco82 said:

It certainly works for me

anth0ny · Feb 21, 2017

we have to get upgrades to how the system is flashed in the next update. Has to be priority #1. It takes so long and if something fucks up you just lost 20-30 min u will never get back. Damn solid red light all the time when trying to add just 1 or 2 more games. Just wasted 20 min

What do you mean by this? That post he quoted is mine, I haven't had any problems (at least that I'm aware of) by inserting my own cores into the hmod file...
