To update just replace files of old version.

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.

If you have a perpetual console USB disconnection/reconnection problem try to use the USB port directly on your PC without using HUBs or cable extensions.

Version 2.07:
https://github.com/ClusterM/hakchi2/releases/download/2.07/hakchi2.exe

Now you can hide selected default games (NES Mini only, will not work on Famicom Mini) and install extended font with all missed characters.
Also some minor fixes.
hakchi2 is distributing as SFX (.exe file) archive now since some versions of WinRAR can corrupt file attributes required by mkbootfs.exe for symlinks. To update just replace files of old version.

Now I need to sleep. I'll write FAQ, changelog and answer many questions a bit later.

Transferred worked perfect! However, my cousin has an NES as well and would like to transfer games using my PC. Will there be any issues?

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 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)

Just hide them? Or also eliminates them? I want more space.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
