Thank you for the great work. I have been a major lurker since the first release of hakchi2 and finally felt comfortable enough to try the softmod last night. I used version 2.05 and had no major problems, except for when I dumped the original kernel and ran zadig (it worked out, but there was a moment when it wasn't especially clear what to do next). Now that I got it to work and have flashed successfully a few times, I am very hesitant to touch any of the files for fear of screwing something up...but I would also like to utilize the font improvement in the latest version. So my question is what specific "files of old version" am I replacing? For example, do I Just unzip the latest version to a new location and then manually replace the hakchi2.exe file, or are there other files to replace as well? A more detailed update procedure would really help put my mind at rest.
Snow Bros, Micro Machines and Super Mario Bros The Lost Levels are giving me problems. Did anyone managed to get them to work?
just manual download them I did that for half mine still works np.
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
snow bros. yes micromachines I wish I cant flash it different memory map or some error I get trying to add it.
If I install the newest version of hakchi will I lose my box art and game configurations if I use the newer one or will it just update it from there?
I am planning on doing, Snow Bros., Burger Time, Panic Restaurant, SMB2 lost levels, Doki Doki Panic, Metroid FDS, Megaman 1,3,4,5,6, Battle Of Olympus, Castlevania 3, and maybe something for my kids, but i am too scared to try, what if it doesn't work anymore :-(
I didnt lose any of those. If you want you can just backup games folder and config.ini file from the hakchi2 root folder and of course kernel.img from the dump folder (original kernel dump)

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
